Sunday was a quiet day--I took the dog for a long walk, cleaned up my office, did laundry, and settled down to write. Laura and Bryan wandered off for a bit and then called me to go have cupcakes with them, and then I came back, wrote some more, and went to see Sunshine which I thought was going to be good and was actually decent until they introduced a plot element that was really kind of stupid.

I have a Spiritwalkers story almost finished at this point, and should be posting that tomorrow sometime. Tonight is Laura's birthday dinner, which will be both tasty and fun, we hope.

I have new gadgetry, including a phone that has all these crazy things like "Bluetooth" and "GPS" on it. I feel so...something. Modern, I suppose. I have also acquired a new camera--another Canon Digital Elph--and am very pleased by how it's performing.

I'm still doing a bunch of reading for Spiritwalkers research, and have discovered a very important caveat when it comes to reading about Native American cultures: if the book was written in the 40's by a white person, the book will throw much light on the writer and very little on the culture in question. (The book was published in 1943, and was written by a doctor working with Navajos in a hospital on the edge of one of the reservations. Condescension fairly dripped.)

Anyway. Monday. Hooray for coffee.
