Safe & Sound
We heard the sirens as we were driving from Como area to Highland area (both St. Paul). No damage here, but reports say there was some four to six blocks northwest of us. We're staying put for the rest of the day.

Your result for The Supervillain Archetype Test...

The Megalomaniac

Ambitious, Intelligent, Calculating

The Megalomaniac is the most prestigious of super-villain classes. If anyone is ever going to rule the world, it will probably be you.



Your main goal in life is power and domination, you have the tools to do it, and you know it. Megalomaniacs are intelligent and forceful, and they tend not to let their emotions cloud their judgment. Most of the time. They are usually found, or not found, working at the top of a huge structured organization, though many prefer to work by themselves.


The Megalomaniac has but one flaw, but its an invariably fatal one; arrogance. He knows that he can take over the world, and he isn't afraid to let you know, often elaborately and in great detail. They often do not foresee the fly in their ointment, because they do not want to admit that such a fly could exist.


Sample Megalomaniacs: Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor, Ras al'Ghul, Kang the Conqueror, Emperor Palpatine, Brain

Book recommendation
I'm looking for a good book on herbal remedies and magic for research. I'm writing a short story and want to get the magic right. If the book contains making charms, even better. Recommendations, anyone?

Heat
It's too hot to go outside. If we could transport every business in the Twin Cities to somewhere NW of Duluth, I would happily go there too.

Everyone who has already heard this - cover your eyes.

NaNoWriMo
10,922 words so far. My poor main character - she's pregnant, her lover abandons her. Her father kicks her out. Now she's laying down in a drainage ditch hoping to drown herself. Even that doesn't work out right.

Writing
I've resumed writing my novella Best Served Cold. Writing and then editing what I wrote (for critique) was not working out. Now, I write on unlined paper, numbering the pages as I go, and don't edit. More writing gets done and I don't overdose on the story.

Warning: Political Opinion
As the presidential election in 2008 draws near, I wonder if Bush will declare marital law before the election or wait until after a Democrat is elected president and before s/he can take office?

Resolution
I resolve to get my blood sugar down to 6.5 on the A1C test by taking my glucose levels multiple times per day, increasing my daily activity level, and paying closer attention to what and when I eat.

I'm still battling the migraine (day 3) that kept me from partying.

Current Mood: optimistic
