A Girl So Beautiful She Sits Alone Every Day

Made some headway on the story, yesterday, but also spent the first half of the day continuing to round out backstory. It had to happen, as I have reached a point in the story where one major character meets another, and the Evil is explained (not in full, but in riddles, more or less). So I had to know both what was conveyed, as well as what was not. That required a trip into backstoryville. But I think I have that covered now, so I move forward again.

In other news, the cable company sent me a notice that I had now already gone through my one-year "introductory price", and now my monthly billing would increase by about ten dollars a month. I called them up promptly and told them if that was the case, they could cancel my cable TV, i don't really need it. They opted to let me continue at the "introductory" or "for those who will complain" rate. Surprising. I told them in that case, they could continue giving me service. But, as Señor Colbert says: You're on notice!

I'm off coffee today. I've spent my few days on decaf, after the week-long half-and-half experiment. Today is chamomile and honey. Sugar is the white devil. YOU WILL NOT HAVE MY SOUL, OH WICKED CANE!
