Soon there’ll just be feathers and the quiet of the fall*
Life: I has lion maps! Now I just need to calculate the distances the furballs covered, do some graphs, bang my head against Access some more for new maps and then mellow out in the glory of a job well done. For about two seconds, after which I edit, prepare the databases and work on the presentation.
I called Ma today (missed call from last night) and it was Not Good but then it was Okay. I'd say more but it's already 2 am and I'm a fucking moron for staying up this late. Maybe tomorrow, when I need to vent.
Also, it's very, very windy and the universe picks right the fuck now for something in the neighbour's balcony to start pouding away loudly. Argh. I want to sleep without random annoying noises! Woe.
Nano: Still 249 words shy of today's minimum. *sigh* Icarus is finally saying he's an angel, though, so that's a plus.
39759 / 50000 words. 80% done!

“God, Icarus, what the hell’s happening to you?” he muttered, pressing a rag to the wounds to staunch the flow. Icarus didn’t reply, but then Chip wasn’t surprised: the man had to be pretty out of it from pain, or at least wishing he were. The rag in his hands turned the same colour as the polo, as Icarus’ back, the seat and Chip’s vision in the face of an infected. He exchanged it for another, pressing harder on the wounds, praying the simplest prayer in the world: please, please, please.
Eventually – finally – the bleeding slowed then stopped and Chip lifted the bloody rag from Icarus’ back with care. The wounds didn’t look that bad, considering. They definitely looked smaller and less ragged than they had been the day before, but they were still deep. Chip folded the rag, trying to find an untouched corner, and began to pat the skin clean.
“How are you holding up?” he said softly, head bent close to his work and his mouth by into Icarus’ ear.
Icarus’ voice came out gruff and hollow, whispered against the plastic of the backseat. “I... I lasped.”

Quote of the Day: Douglas Coupland, Eleanor Rigby, here
The thing about meat with me, though, is how it speaks to me about the human body. All of us are stuck inside our meaty bodies. I've always imagined that regular people are happy to be inside their bodies, whereas lonely people yearn to ditch their carcasses. I suspect lonely people wish they could forget the whole meat-and-bone issue altogether. We're the people most likely to believe in reincarnation simply because we can't believe we were shackled into our meat in the first place. Lonely people want to be dead, yet we're still not quite ready to go - we don't want to miss the action; we want to see who wins next year's Academy Awards. More to the point, the lonely, like all humans, yearn to meet that somebody who'll make us feel better about being trapped inside our species' meat-and-bone soul containment system. Oh God, I sound like a prison warden.
