observations
1. Characters are bossy sumbitches, and also, they withhold vital information. Sometimes even getting a character to own up to a full name is hard work.
2. If I believed in past lives, I would have to conclude that I once died of a blow to the head with a blunt instrument. Mostly because I dream about such a blow on a fairly regular basis; sometimes I am on the receiving end, and sometimes I have got the blunt instrument in my own sweaty hand.
3. Things I would like to believe in, but can't: reincarnation. little people who live in the walls, aka the borrowers. the soul. infinity (my husband, the mathematician says that this inability of mine to believe in infinity stems from my fundamental misunderstanding of the time/space continuum). that I will ever finish the book I'm writing. that I will ever finish the next one. that laser eye surgery really is safe, and that it would be possible for me to see without glasses. that glasses make a person look thoughtful and intelligent.
4. Why is it that when you think of going to the movies, the one movie you might want to see always started ten minutes ago?
5. There is something inherently agitating about warm Sunday afternoons.
