New Wallpaper: Golden Night Fog

bahnhofstraße, originally uploaded by sommerferientag.

Criteria for new wallpaper is simple: it must either make me smile or be soothing and relaxing. And, of course, gorgeous! This is soothing--I can almost smell the fog in the air.

Reminder: Sumo Party!!

This Saturday, October 7th, we will be throwing a Sumo Party! Many of you probably recall how this goes, but here's the run-down:

* It begins at 3 p.m. (yup, Phil won!) and runs quite late
* Please bring Asian alcoholic beverages or food items--though we will be providing quite a lot of food: 2 vats of Sumo Soup and a nigh-endless supply of ramen noodles and rice, for one thing. Our alcohol supply, however, is not quite fortified enough to withstand a Sumo-sized party without additional contributions.
* Bring small change for gambling on the sumo matches that will be playing perpetually on the TV(s)
* You are encouraged to shout at the TV
* Sure, bring a friend or two, so long as they're housebroken and will not flee into the night upon exposure to our circle of friends! Do tell us, though.
* There will be no inflatable sumo suits!!!!! Also, no sumo-ing in the house.
* RSVPs make me happy! You want to make me happy, right?

Come to our party! Eat and drink exotic consumables! Watch sumo! Win money! Swear at the TV in company that won't look at you funny unless you get really creative (please get really creative)!

Writing Log: Writely + Murder in the Blood

10/03/2006 - Tuesday, full day of Bush Foundation work, then Tae Soo Do
* read Absolute Write newsletter--which introduced me to Writely, the Google shared word processing program, and inspired me to get an invite to join even though it's closed to new non-invite subscribers as it is being integrated into the Google suite of services
* penthius freewriting: Blood Vessel to Murder, a medium-potential horror idea.
