It's a good day.

An easy meme from [livejournal.com profile] phoenikoi.  What the heck.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.


"It's not only the knife that has to cut, it's your own mind."

(Yes, [livejournal.com profile] princesslaurene, it's the same book that was next to me when I did your meme. :))

Work was good - spent time with people I enjoy, in baggage screening.  Yeah.  Other than that...  *shrug*  Also, wrote more on that Ivan/Byerly fic this morning.  Am not holding my breath until the betas get back to me. :) 

ETA: Sorry about that bad script. I'm wondering if I need a new client? Other people seem to post that thing with no problem.

It sounds familiar; is that the one with Will and - I forget the little girl's name, the one with the daemon - and going to different worlds?

Exactly! :) I had an 'uummmm' moment when you said you forgot her name, but finally it came into my head. Lyra.
