Our internet connection continues to be made of spuz. The new antennas are on the tower, which has fixed everyone's service except ours. So they're supposed to come replace our house antenna. The service interruptions have me running late with the Poetry Fishbowl stuff; sorry about that.
Polls are currently open for generally sponsored poetry and for the series to get a free epic. I'll get to the complete followup post when I can. Meanwhile, use the "poem" tag to catch up on reading you may have missed. There will be a half-price poetry sale (carried over from last month's perk fulfillment) from Monday, October 15-Sunday, October 21. A poll to select the series for that will follow the free epic poll.
I am finally finished with all my assignments for the 2014 Llewellyn annuals! I crammed in 2 articles for the Herbal Almanac and 25 minispells for the Spell-A-Day Almanac in the last week. So this week's calendar includes important tasks like "go to a movie" and "rest my brain."
Poetry in Microfunding:
"The Forging of Brisingamen" belongs to The Asgard Eddas. It is being funded in sections by DW user jb_slasher. This is mythic science fiction. There are several new verses, so go read about how the treaty gets sealed.

Weather here is turning cooler. We've had some intermittent rain. Leaves are turning colors. I heard a bluejay screaming in the yard recently, and saw a squirrel -- two critters we haven't had recently. I need to think about filling the birdfeeders again.

I am really, really, looking forward to taking a few days to relax and catch up on other stuff.
