After a day with Loki and scansion, I got tired and was happy to have supper and watch Wire in the Blood with Kate. \u00a0Loki’s fascinating, an original bad jotun, and just can’t help making mischief, a festering ball of chaos. \u00a0He’ll make a great character once I figure out how to include him in the story.<\/span><\/div>\n

Scansion, on the other hand. \u00a0Oy vey! \u00a0I find recognizing meter, the stressed and unstressed syllables difficult. \u00a0I’ve never learned it and I need to now in order to finish my essay on Dickinson’s poem. \u00a0After locating some handy brief exercises, my head hurt. \u00a0So, I stopped.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The gong fu cha goes well. \u00a0I have a rhythm with it now and I produce six pots of tea out of a single batch of tea leaves. \u00a0The last two infusions, surprisingly, are the best. \u00a0At least so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
