Brrrrrr!

Was frickin’ cold today. Yesterday, too. I’ve spent much of the past two days huddled in Ground, where it’s at least warm enough to draw, though yesterday I just finished reading Lisa Goldstein’s The Alchemist’s Door (pretty decent story, if a bit predictable, about John Dee traveling to Prague and meeting Rabbi Loew, and of course the golem comes into it), and started on Shadow & Claw, the first half of Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun. This’ll be my third time through New Sun, and I probably don’t need to tell most of you how brilliant it is. I may keep going on through Long Sun and Short Sun, or I may not, since I didn’t like either of those as much as the original series.

Today I did a little sketching. The two dark-haired women are both sketches of people in Ground. The one on top saw me sketching and asked me to do a drawing to give to her. I did, in a more realistic style, similar to the one of [livejournal.com profile] cthulhia I put up a couple weeks back.

I’ve been one week on Atkins. I’ve lost nine pounds. (Gained back two on Friday, lost ’em again yesterday.) I’ll stick with it through the end of the week, and then see whether I want to stick through till the holiday parties start. I may take it up again in the spring, but winter is a time for comfort foods.

(I can understand my spell-check not recognizing “Atkins”, but suggesting “catkins” as an alternative?)
