OK, that was timing! Just as I walk out of the Y after completing my swim, crack of thunder and the skies opened up. Had my swim not got broken into 2 parts, I would have had my fasted continuous swim, ever. As it is, first 8, I managed a 55 pace, and for the remaining 64, I got 54.33. Which is insane, but I really had everything flat out down. NICE!

Now I gotta go see if my roof leaked again in this round.

But what about being a vampire princess?

Pfft, that's aiming low. My real childhood dream was to be vampire witch queen of the universe. I'm still working on it. When I finally ascend, people will be very surprised and say things like, "But she always seemed like such a NICE girl."

Jilli, as I read your last post, "Night on Bald Mountain" came on the radio.

Well played, vampire witch queen. Well played.

Yes. It did. I've GOT to call the roofer, damnit. And the gutter guy.

So there. Do not doubt my powers.

Wait, you're marrying into the queen position? Or assuming it through revolution? Vampire orincesses grow up to be vampire queens who expand their territories.

My house is literally FULL of people shooting Jane's webseries. There are about 30 people in total. The actors very fun--including the lead girl who is really nice in addition to being SO BEAUTIFUL it hurts my eyes. She was a Cylon on Caprica, apparently, which I haven't yet seen. Her name is Alessandra Torresani.

Alessandra Torresani

I think she was, like, the LEAD! I am glad she is nice because I really liked her on the show!

msbelle, have you read Cutting for Stone or The Red Thread (by Ann Hood)? Both books remind me of you and when I am done with this infernal trip, if you haven't read them, then I will mail them to you.

I don't feel like showering, but I went in the ocean this afternoon, so I feel like I really should, but meh. I mean, right? My skin is salty, but I don't care.
