przedIt has been a crazy week.
I have helped organize the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
takethatslash Big Bang, attended a master class on Hitchcock's Notorious with Guillermo Del Toro, taken Ros to her Tae Kwan Do class, done two TKD classes myself, gone to the coaches meeting for Ros' soccer club, attempted to get hold of all the parents on my team's roster, had a friend over for dinner, taken Ros for her six month eye checkup, driven north to my mom's, taken a trunkload of stuff from mom's basement to the local dump in the continuing crusade to clear out 45 years of junk, tried to figure out what we need to do for the Florida trip (in three more sleeps!), and tried to get everything done I need to before I take off on Tuesday.
I am knackered.
I'm totally ready for a vacation, though I fear 5 days in Disney World isn't going to be quite the relaxing time off I could use.
But the trip did push me to finally get the replacements for my much loved but ailing skull-and-crossbones Rocket Dogs, this lovely pair of red Converse sneakers.
I'm not necessarily admitting to anything, but a certain member of a British manband may have influenced my choice of footwear.
And now I think there's some collapsing in my immediate future.

Date: 2012-05-13 04:55 pm (UTC)I soooo can't wait to see some of the Circus story. Feel free to send me whatever you've got, whenever you want. It sounds brilliant! And even if the story itself is realistic, it doesn't completely preclude the use of magic. Game of Thrones is in a gritty, realistic medieval setting with the occasional flourish of magic. Just treat the magic realistically, if that make sense.
Kept asking "is Howard coming, too?" *shakes head* Silly, silly me!
Heh.

Trust me, love, I'm going to spam you with that story until you wish you never met me! *g*
Keeping the magic realistic, that's it. You've nailed it. It was quite realistic in Erin Morgenstern's "The Night Circus", the setting is mainly 1890s-1910s, but she managed to get the magic in, very believable, because it was more of a science than magic. Quite interesting approach...we'll see.
I now will have to go and try to get the whip back, or else this time maching will never ever get ready! Boys.

Sleep well! And sweet dreams! xx
