Bzuh

OMG so tired. Stuck in another low cycle and not sleeping, so creeping along slowly. Did some laundry, vacuumed, put fresh sheets on bed.

Wrote just a little more on that WWII AU -- everything else has stopped again. Am doing this on the fly, so to speak, so keep having to stop and look things up. Listened to a very short clip of an "Axis Sally" broadcast (here). It's funny how all the sources describe her as having a sultry, sexy voice -- I didn't think so, especially compared to such women of the same day as Lauren Bacall and Marlene Dietrich, but whatever.

Mare, I got your card today! I was so surprised, and it made me smile so much.

Mr. Nightdog is making pizza, and we are going to drink red wine. Maybe that will help me sleep.

She's a bit stilted. Perhaps she sounded better in person.

That's what I thought! I was expecting to hear some kind of raspy whiskey baritone, and that wasn't it. I might try listening to some of her longer pieces -- maybe this just wasn't a very good example.

On the other hand, I might not even finish this story so I'm not sure it matters.
