Same old, same old...

wiseheartUtterly boring stuff behind the tag - read at your own peril. Or don't. It's up to you.
Real Life is eating up my time. Which means: either writing or doing research in whatever hour I can spare. Sadly enough, it means that no time for reading... at least no time for giving authors I haven't previously known a try. I do re-read some old favourites from time to time, but that's about all.
My reading habits have seriously deteriorated in the recent years. Since I rarely find the kind of stories I'd like to read, and since the people whose stuff I used to read and comment religiously rarely returned the favour, I've simply fallen out of the habit of reading. A shame, actually - I'm sure I'm missing some great tales. Well, perhaps when I'm retired - which is only a matter of oh, seven or eight years? If I live that long, that is.
Mum's going to have her next control CT at the end of the month, so she'll have another blood test tomorrow. Poor thing can't stop fretting. So far, all of her tests turned out negative - I hope it will stay so - but she's scared shitless all the same. I can't blame her. That thing last year was a shock, for both of us.
Am doing ungodly amounts of research for the Tosh/9th Doctor story, about 12th century Japan. Too bad that I suck at Internet research. Never really find the things I'm looking for. Must be the total lack of talent where finding the right search keywords is concerned. Ah, well, at least it's a real adventure this way. I never know what will turn up next. My head is humming from all those Japanese names like a beehive.
As I said: completely boring stuff. So, I think it's safe to allow comments, eh?
