This one was shot in twilight — with the ambient light dropping fast this one became a bit of a challenge to get a clean shot. The original photo was vastly underexposed, but thankfully RAW processing let me get back some of the detail.
I will freely admit I did some cheating with the lighting and some other tidbits in photoshop.
Other posts from the saturday shoot will go up as I process them in the flickr gallery.

Got out of the OR around 6. Had a great day in the OR, actually, some good cases. And loving the new FMR1. She basically got done everything that needed doing on the wards all before 8:30. Most before 8:00 -- before we finished rounding/consenting. It wasn't much, but in comparison to the other junior... who would have taken all day and still not done it... As it is he should have done half that work and didn't do any of it, and didn't even do anything to make sure it had got done as far as I can tell. Never went to the wards. Never checked in with either me or the other junior. Was in the other OR, fine, but so was she until I pulled her into my OR. She checked in a couple times, made adjustments and basically did everything on the wards that needed doing. Even when he stopped into my OR to ask if he could go home, and I told him to find out something from the ward, he didn't.
Anyways.
Faran started her education today. Had her first ride. Sounds like there was some good insight from it. I'm hopeful, very hopeful, that this will all help with her ground manners but mostly with her not being all inverted at the neck. There's no reason for the head up business -- I don't ride off the reins and I don't balance on the reins, I don't need to and so there's no reason for her neck to go stupid. But it does. Because I can't push enough from behind. RNB can. And Faran is apparently, from reports, strong and tough in her way, but not freaking out about the correction. So this is hopeful? So far.
So she's off limits for now. Still went to the Barn tonight. Tucson had his jumping lesson. This is the alternate rider, the girl who is riding him every other week to help school him over jumps, who is a stronger and more experienced rider and who can get after him when he doesn't feel like doing his changes (he did them lovely today). I then took Anton for a toodle around and he's doing great since they fixed his cube issue. Go figure. Timothy/straw is not as good as alfalfa/maize. The cube company messed up the labels. Poor guy. So much happier now. Still stiff. His breathing was rough too, but it's injection day and last week's would be wearing off by now. Since the barn was almost empty, and nobody in the arena, I let him have a roll and a wander by himself while I put stuff away.
Anton smells different than most horses. It's probably the herbs and stuff he gets for his breathing. But he smells sweeter. For some reason I find it very soothing. Just sayin'.

I'm in New York! We had a plane trip of three legs, switching planes twice (such is the way of life when you live in the sticks). On the last leg of the trip I sat next to a completely adorable older gentleman who told me story after story about Studio 54 in its heyday and who thought I was a teenager. *giggle*
I must seek out the octogenarian set to hang out with more often. He was funny. And he thought my accent was "charming." I have to confess, I thought his was, too.
Our hotel is The Mansfield, and it's just lovely. After a lot of misses in the hotel department for us when we've come, Nolan's finally hit a home run. It's got some great architecture. It's got a funky mix of art deco clean lines and carved wood cornices, great moulding on the ceilings... plus it has a library with a fireplace and a coffee bar that's open 24 hours. That feeds my romantic soul, that does, as well as my need for caffeine.
I've written about 600 words today, but the day's not over. I'm gonna hang out with Nolan and then write until I hit a brick wall. The secondary characters have demanded more screen time. Who am I to say no?
Love to all!

doctorwhofrail_entity)So my husband is being weird and posed a question to me. He asked "in what Dr. Who episodes does David Tennant have the most sex appeal"
My answers were the werewolf episode and the new earth episode (with Cassandra)... apparently my answers weren't good enough so I pose the question to all of you.
Have fun :)

copperbadge)R picked me up from work today, which was cool, and over burgers and fries for dinner we watched the news, because nothing compliments a fresh hamburger like low-level rage. :D
At one point I was talking about something, I don't recall what, and I said, "...a group of fundies."
"Fundies?" he asked.
"Yeah, you know, fundies."
"Are those the people who dress up like animals?"
AND THEN I LOLED.
"No," I said. "Those are furries. You, uh, shouldn't mix those two up."

Mr. Neil,
I DVR'd yesterday's installment of Sunday Morning and after zipping through it back and forth multiple times cannot seem to find you, though the description indicated the correct episode. Was it bumped to next week? Have you been sucked into an alternate Neil-less universe?
A concerned reader,
Mary
I'm afraid it was bumped by the Fort Hood Massacre.
I checked: The profile CBS did of me is apparently still going out, probably some time in December, although no-one seems certain when. I was told that we could help ensure that it is broadcast (and possibly make it come out sooner than December) if CBS think people would actually like to see it. Which means that if you do want to see it, you can help the process along if you write or email CBS and (politely) tell them so:

Dear Neil Gaiman, I ask for half-a-moment of your time (I would not presume to ask for more). This Spring 2010 I am teaching a Topics in Literature class on YOU at Winona State University (Eng 225: Neil Gaiman). Easy enough to select representative novel (American Gods), short stories (Fragile Things), children and YA (Graveyard Book), but here's the rub: I will likely only assign one Sandman graphic novel to students. I have been debating which is most representative, most worthy of inclusion, most amenable to class discussion and student scholarship. Then I thought I'd ask you. I know you suggest above that, for questions of this sort, we consider you a dead author, but I know you're not. When I came to a similar impasse about which of Ursula Le Guin's works to include in another class, she actually replied and offered her input. I extend the same offer to you: which of the Sandman volumes would you like to see on the syllabus?
Thank you for your time,
Nicholas Ozment, English Instructor
WSU
It's a hard one. I think if I were teaching I'd either go for Season of Mists or Fables and Reflections, because both of them have stuff to teach -- those nice chewy bits that people can like or dislike, argue with or discuss. I know a lot of teachers like to teach Dream Country because a) Midsummer Night's Dream won awards, and b) it's short and c) it has a script in the back. Your call. And good luck.
...
I mentioned recently that there were some beautiful new Polish and Russian book covers for my books that I'd seen at signings, which got me thinking. The International Cover gallery on this website is incredibly out of date.
It's at http://www.neilgaiman.com/p/Works/Books/I
And though I get a lot of foreign editions in, and will at some point head down to the basement and rummage around and scan some (this week's mail brought the two-volume Japanese edition of Anansi Boys, on the cover of which Fat Charlie is not only Very White, but also Very Thin, and the complex Chinese - ie. Taiwan and Hong Kong - edition of The Graveyard Book) I thought that blog readers, being, as you are, all over the world, might be a better resource for knowing where to look for foreign covers.
(Also, Absolute Death was published this week. It is amazingly beautiful. Yes, I think they overpriced it too and no, pricing decisions at DC Comics are nothing to do with me. And the audio book of Good Omens will be released tomorrow. It's read by Martin Jarvis. People have asked why it is not read by me, and I have to explain that it is because if I read it I would just be doing my Martin Jarvis reading the William storiess impression, so better by far to have the real thing.)
Was your basement finished when you purchased your home or did you have it finished for your basement library? If you finished it yourself, how difficult was it? Also, I thought I saw a dehumidifier in one of the Photosynth pictures. Do you need one because of the books?
I'm asking because we have a full unfinished basement that we would like to have finished. We are running out of room for our books also. I don't think we don't have as many as you do though. :)
Any other suggestions for such a project would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
C.
No, when we got here the basement had a clay floor that puddled when it rained. We hired some nice builders and spent a lot of money finishing it, putting in drainage tiles, underfloor heating and all. There's a dehumidifier there in the summer and a humidifier in the winter, because after the first few years I noticed that binding glue and leather book covers were both cracking and flaking. There's now the equivalent of a large house in basement rooms beneath this house, filled with books and CDs and suchlike stuff.
And finally, a few photos from the China trip, taken by Ian Ford (or in one case, on his camera). Ian's a travel guide who now lives in China who helped organise my travels, and came along with me for part of the journey.
Amanda and I in the silk clothes that my publisher had given us as a thank you for coming, and because they are terrific.
Amanda, Ian Ford (in the pale top, also a gift from my publishers) and.. my publishers, SF World -- who will be publishing the mainland Chinese edition of The Graveyard Book very soon, and are very excited.
I'm holding the Galaxy Award for this year, given to the foreign author most popular with Chinese reader-voters. This was my second year of winning it, so I have retired from the competition and said that they have to find a new favourite foreign author now.

Title: Flying Man (1/2)
Author: amles80
Fandom: The X-files/Heroes
Characters: Dana Scully, Fox Mulder, Hiro Nakamura, Angela Petrelli, references to Nathan Petrelli (Scully-centric)
Rating: G (for now… part two; well, who knows…)
Summary: A mysterious bank robbery, and reports of a flying man… that’s enough to make Mulder curious. Scully is more than skeptical, but goes with him. Via a friendly Japanese guy, they eventually find their way to Mrs. Petrelli. And for some reason, Mulder doesn’t like her…
Word count: 3 418
Notes: 1. Yes, I know that Nathan met Hiro at the Fly By Night diner in Nevada and not in Texas, and logically, this is where he should have been seen flying… but as none of them stayed there anyway, and I wanted to put Scully in the nice waffle place…;)
2. Long fic, I know!! Next chapter is probably going to be shorter… if that’s a good thing. ;)
