Trekking and other creative activities

I've written six and a half chapters (plus an interlude) for the alternate Voyager pilot. Go me! Gave the Benzites some rather interesting means of procreation - they look like fish, after all.

It's really fun to do these things. Let's hope the girl who offered to beta read for me won't back off when she realizes I'm not very nice to Janeway.

Still struggling with the weird Denethor romance, though. Maybe I'll post the part that's already written on Edhellond and ask the crowd what they think. I only need a page or two to finish the whole thing. One-shots do have their advantages.

Will have this old "friend" to come over this afternoon, with his daughter. I haven't seen the kid for at least five years, so it'll be interesting. But I don't really care for seeing her father. Ah, well, I'll try to remain civil.

At the end of the day

I survived the visit of my friend. It was almost funny how little we had to say to each other, when e ran out of the "remember" and "what's XY doing" sort of things. Poor kid (his daughter) listened to that nonsense for two hours and a half.

Oh, and I got my new Norton Antivirus LiveUpdate thingy installed. Of course the new version changed the look of about every window I open. Plus it now scans not only the incoming but also the outgoing emails. Which is a good thing, at least I don't pass over bugs unintentionally. But it slows down my Outlook considerably. And the new looks will need some getting used to.

I know that these things are necessary. Still, I hate changes. They take that feeling to be at home from me.
