not at all sure

solarbirdI don't think I've ever had this much trouble with an article. Or, for that matter, a paper, and this is easier than a paper. God damn. It's like pulling teeth, and I don't even know why. But somehow I've got to hack 600 words out of this thing without losing any more data - it's already more incomplete than it should be.
I'd ask for more pages, but I'm already writing double-sized articles for them. (The format for these things is 750 words, and they're giving me 1500. And paying me extra to make up the difference. I don't want to push that.)
In more pleasant news, we saw Curse of the Were-Rabbit last night, which, while longer than probably would have been best for what it was, kept me entertained, and today,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
annathepiper and I walked down to the shops and around the trail where I took a bunch of leaf pictures that I hope come out, since I'll need something soon to replace the flower pictures once they run out for the winter. (That's the plan: from flowerpics to leafpics. Then snowpics, if available! Then back to flowers. It's me plan, I planned it.)
Once we got back home, the rain decided to hold off a bit longer, so I got in a nice swath of weeding in some of the really nasty border areas along the north side of the lot, and made some actual root-removal-level attacks on the blackberries coming over from the neighbour's lot. In particular, I got the brambles back off the road, so there'll be a sane place to park for people who drive here to visit.
While weeding, I noticed that the bush near the fire hydrant has fruit on it. I took some pictures so I'm hoping that somebody here knows whether it's deadly poison or tasty surprise treat! But I can't post them yet, because they're still on Paul's camera, and I don't know where Paul put the cable, so I'll post them tomorrow.
And in further garden food news,kathrynt is going to loan me her unused-this-year cold frame, which will help warm the soil and hopefully promote growth. Yay!
Friday's token: .35 miles
Saturday's miles: 2.75 miles
Miles out of Hobbiton: 482.4
Miles out of Rivendell: 22.6
Miles to Lothlórien: 443.8
Also, in speculation about LOST: I suspect but do not know that the Others are survivors of the original research group on the island - the people who were there before the "incident" happened.
Ah well, back to the word mines...
