The Stars My Destination
Okay, so Thor's Day was a bust and Freya's Day (or Frigg's Day) - tomorrow, in either etymology - is out; we'll just have to wait until Saturn's Day to "rend the heavens and claim as our own the celestial domain of the old heathen gods" yadda yadda yadda: S.T.S.-122, sooner or later.

Yes, the same old heathen gods after whom the days of our week are named.

Project TROIKA
I have commissioned from The Watergirl a sketch of the male protagonist of Project TROIKA. If all goes as well, I should like to commission additional works of staggering genius, beginning with the female protagonist and the (to date) principal antagonist, and then continuing with other characters as they are realized and their roles in the story are defined. Project TROIKA is a nascent novel, not a comic book or motion picture, but I am predominantly visual. I start with pictures before my mind's eye and these gradually spawn words for the printed page.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Steppenwolf, "Snowblind Friend" from 16 Greatest Hits (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: The "snow" in this song is blow, not actual snow, but the word snow is featured in the title and, dammit, I'm bringing some variety to the Dezember theme month! Don't worry your pretty little heads, there will be plenty enough Christmas cheer and winter's fury for all before we're through.
