Weekend Plans
Saturday morning: get off LJ, do laundry, cook chicken for potluck, record country music for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenofhalves and toesontheground, and put copy of my unfinished novel onto CD for queenofhalves, clear space in office so I can work there, go to Mystery School session with royalbananafish, queenofhalves, and lexicat, potluck and socialize. Depending on how long the socializing goes, maybe/maybe not work on paper some more. Go to bed.
Sunday: attend an unprogrammed (silent) Quaker worship service, work on paper, work on paper, work on paper. Do something low-key and fun with my daughter. Work on paper. (Paper is due Tuesday.)
Last night the daughter and I watched a charming and fun film called St. Ives, based on a Robert Louis Stevenson novel I had never heard of before. The cast includes Anna Friel, Miranda Richardson, Jason Isaacs, Richard E. Grant, Jean-Marc Barr and Michael Gough, who bring more substance to their characters than other actors might have been able to find, given the lightness of the script. If you enjoy a romantic romp, some humor, and all the set pieces of Swashbuckler-Lite, this would be worth renting.
Oh, one more thing for the weekend plans: keep the previous entry in my mind, and do some serious thinking about what I can do about our national situation besides rant occasionally in my LJ. Even a commitment to pray about it every day would be a step forward from what I'm doing now, which is Nothing. It's so easy to feel helpless, but that's exactly what contributes to the downward spiral: people accepting their feelings of disempowerment. I can't bloody well adopt a title like "Queen of Swords" and then mope about my supposed lack of ability to have an impact.
