crankyoldman: "Hermann, you don't have to salute, man." [Pacific Rim] (the queen)

SO TODAY IS GOOD DESPITE RAIN.

- For my Structures class, I spent this morning operating a band saw, using a disk sander and then getting out a metal file. YES FOR HANDS ON PROJECTS! Our display will look SHARP once we get it done. We've split the group in half to make things keep happening and keep schedules good. I'm with the nice kids, I think. I get to spend some time this weekend filing some more (because after you cut through a piece like we did, you need to make sure you don't INJURE anyone with the sharpness). It's all very zen.

- I thought I chipped a tooth yesterday, because I inherited my dad's bad enamel, but no. False alarm. Yay! Truth is I need a cleaning. >.>

- Decided to do the motion of a rocket skateboard instead of a hoverboard (not enough info). But it'll lead to the same basic thing, theoretically. It's surprisingly SIMPLY mathematically, I am all a-twitter, really. God, I am SUCH A NERD.

If I were to rearrange the order of these, it might be a fun mixtape. Hrm.


Outline Quality: What outline?

Section Worked On Most Recently: II: Sela, Bishop of White
Last Completed Section: I: Thelonius II, Pawn of Black
Scene to be Worked On Next:III: Lavinia of Copper, Rook of Black
"Research" of the Day: None, actually, unless you count old dream records of mine.
Quote of the Day:
A Bishop on the Queen's side moves
like a ghost because their liege
never stops moving. Their gods
remain both beautiful and terrible
with barbed tongues and nails.

Novel Poem I Think I'm Unconsciously Channeling In Terms Of Style And Exposition: "Academic Discourse at Havana" by Wallace Stevens, well, now at least

Character I'm Eager to Write: The White Queen. Still.
Character I'm Finding Difficult: Still no one, just sitting down to write is the issue.
City Much More Lifelike Than I Expected: Won't be hitting that up until Lavinia, I think. I can't be sure.
Best Thing I've Been Able To Meta With Today: Exactly what the hell the White side means by a "bishop".

Today's Goal: Work a little more on Sela's bit, she's not particularly wordy, it might be a shorter section.

I entirely approve of any non-shop related class that requires the use of power tools.

...your Structures class sounds like a lot of work but also like a lot of fun. Pictures of the finished product, please?

As far as your songs go, these are what I have:

2. sounds like The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen.
3. Hello, by Poe.
15. Love Today (?) by Mika.

Your Quote Of The Day, particularly the last two lines, are beautifully written.
