ellarien1700 words, about three scenes. Not bad, if not as much as I was hoping for. I wasn't quite allowing for the extent to which I can tie myself up in knots feeling sorry for the characters even when I know where the plot has to go. Also, the downstairs neighbours were playing their music really loud.
Also managed to feed myself sufficiently, I think: waffles and marmalade for breakfast; omelet with pasta sauce and toast for lunch, plus pistachios and a couple of figs; pizza, veggies and ice cream for dinner.
I went for a walk down toward the river round about sunset, when the mountains were glowing pink. The wildflowers seem to be done, no doubt killed off by the frosts.
Tired now. I wish I could have Monday off every time I go to Phoenix, but it wouldn't leave enough vacation for going home in the summer.
Oh, and I watched the last Voyage episode on the currently-out DVD set, Monster from Outer Space,
which could be described as a shark-jumping episode, I suppose, what with the blow-up rubber monster possessing the crew (for the first time, though certainly not the last!) but is interesting in its own way, and may also be the first episode to have Sharkey being more useful than annoying. The bit that worries me is, what happened to the carrier with its smaller bit of monster?
ETA Oh, and I think Harry used the electric-vest trick again in one of the later seasons -- Shadowman, maybe? and got shot in the process.
