Instant Karma moment of awesome

This weekend, T. and I were hiking down at Taughannock Falls State Park, as we are wont to do. We'd frozen half a water bottle full of water, as we are also wont to do, and then poured in water to fill, but this time, the half-liter of water really wasn't enough for the day, and I was carrying around a half-liter of ice and wishing it to melt faster.

We're in the habit of picking up a few piece of litter every time we go out walking, so I wasn't thinking about it when I bent down to pick up the bottle of Poland Springs floating in the creek.

The entirely sealed, full, new bottle of Poland Springs Water.

Sometimes life is just fun.

Wedding Plans, Reiassan, for Rix's Prompt!

Reiassan has a Landing Page - and on LJ.

“Lady! Lord! Are you here for the wedding?”

Rin had been caught up in coming home, equally caught up in watching how her prisoner reacted to this, the heart of her country. She hadn’t expected the question, although she supposed she should have. There were so many cousins, so many sisters and aunts, brothers and uncles and far more distant relatives. Someone was always getting married.

“No,” she told the children, smiling at them. Brightly dressed in their silk qitari, these were no urchins. School must have just let out. “I, we,” she caught herself quickly and hoped Girey hadn’t noticed, “are just home from the front. So tell me, who is getting married? What news have I missed?” She leaned forward, half-off her saddle, as eager for the gossip as they were to share it.( Read more... )

Hee! (also help?)

Hey, guys, I won the auction for recessional's worldbuilding help (sort of a frivolous purchase, I admit; there goes my yarn budget for August)...

...so what world do I want her help with? It shouldn't be Reisassn, I think, because that's a project I'm working on with Spouse!Man. That still leaves a lot of worlds!
