    Good news du jour. Also a little on the state of the union.

    It’s actually good news “du” last night, but I don’t feel like being grumpy at my schedule this early in the quarter, so we’re saying it was for today. Barring a minor catastrophe, Lissa-love–that’d be me–is going to L.A. during Spring Break. Yes, for the entirety of the first full week of April, I will be seeing beaches and sand and possibly San Fran/Bay Area/Stanford area. I most likely won’t even bother to buy a swimsuit, but I am hella excited about the chance to go running on the beach. The sand should be killer on my calves. I’m almost afraid to mention how I’m going on this trip, lest…

The author (Ken? couldn’t find an about page) wrote: “I have a feeling this is going to come out sounding really awkward, but I’m going to try and say it anyway. I have a rather self-defeating attraction to independent, self-sufficient women.

    Challenge du jour.

    Writing at least 2k words or a complete part (chapter) from the perspective of an oppositely-gendered person. In other words, writing a chapter in a standard non-omniscient third-person perspective that lives in a male character’s head… I’ve never lived in a guy’s mind. How’s it work, I wonder?
