Beneath the building where I work. There is also a large plastic-wrapped thing that could easily be a body.
In Rome, faults in statuary could be concealed by the use of beeswax to smooth out or correct the error. Sans cere, or "without wax," was used to refer to the honest, 'sincere' dealers.
I am currently reading "Sweetness & Light: The Mysterious History of the Honeybee" and greatly enjoying it. I am pondering bees and honey and Ancient Egypt and story ideas.

It has been a good day, in unexpected ways.
I got back the images from a roll of photos taken on my Sunday photo walks, and there were three shots on it that I would qualify as "best quality," along with any number of "what's that doing there???" photographs. Here is one of the good ones:
( Golden Gate )
Writing on Vicesteed went really well. I finished up the last leading-up-to scene with a nice fuck-you-for-screwing-me-over scene for one of my female characters and a good "revelation of who the villain is based on a clue seen midway through the story" for my investigator. I also got to write him from her POV, which was fun, because up till now all my POV characters haven't overlapped. Now all I have left is the climax, which will have death, revelations, a gonzo fight scene, and proficiency checks all around. I'm a little uneasy about writing it, because I'll have to be switching POVs like mad within this chapter. I really, really hope it doesn't suck (I've seen some books where the POV melding is just--painful). The climactic scene is what I'll be working on tomorrow. Then it's just tidying up loose ends, closure, and sending everybody off to their own little not-unhappy ending.
Writing Log
Words today: 3,191
Total words: 198,826
Overused word: spring
Gratuitous word: treacle
Type of scene: Um. Right. Read the paragraph above.
Challenge(s): Getting the pacing right.
Which scene is it anyways?( cut for length )
Notes: I'm all excited to begin writing again tomorrow.
Tae Soo Do went pretty well, too. We did line drills, which is good--I miss 'em if we don't do them for a while, which is a little bit disturbing, honestly. Whatever muscle it is that I strained in my side flared up again, though, doing side-to-side sit-ups and jump spin kicks. Grr. Bad human suit. Then we did some restricted sparring. Usually I hate restricted sparring, but this time he switched it up between bouts and both of use were restricted to only being able to score with certain moves--but still being able to use others. I won three out of four matches, so that made me happy. Two of the ones I won were against the other brown belts, and I didn't really have any anticipation of winning the fourth match (I swear,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yanni85, one of these days....).
And then I found twenty-nine dollars.
No, really. Just as I was walking home and thinking that I should have waited in the bus stop to take a bus for the short leg of the trip, because then I'd have conserved valuable body heat, never mind that it's only a ten-minute walk.
Also, note to self: conditioner may work better as a shower-gel than shaving cream does, but really, how hard is it to grab the right bottle???
