I write this to cheer up weetanya, but I liked it so much, I thought I would post it here too:

Students Venture Forth
Yet Armed Only with Knives of Words
Themselves to Conquer

The Virgin Queen is being shown in two parts. The costuming is gorgeous, the acting is good and Anne-Marie Duff really looks like the portraits of Elizabeth I. I wish it would touch a little more on the religious dimension of Elizabethan England though. A full review when it concludes next week.

Three crows fly
Black wings and dark eyes
Morrigan

My haiku for the day. I suppose I should explain how it came about. Laura and I were heading out of Athens, listening to Emerald Rose, a cool Celtic-American folk rock band were first heard at Dragon*Con. Specifically, Freya, Shakti, a song about the many masks of the goddesses, including the Morrigan. It was just chanting her name when three crows came swooping down over the hood of the car and split apart going their different ways. I remembered it when listening to the same song today and the haiku came to me after a little thought.

In good writing news, I have been asked by jim pinto, AEG's D20 line editor, to look over the latest AEG D20 project. More play-testing/advice credit for me. Rah!
