Why would you name your book Chairman of the Whored? Why?

Although when I was telling [livejournal.com profile] miome about this, she thought I said Chairman of the Horde. Of course, I immediately pictured this dragon laying atop this huge oak desk in the corner office on the top floor of a skyscraper, with gold and papers spilling out of the drawers, and yelling into his phone that someone is late for the meeting and is going to get flamed as a result. That sounds like my kind of book.

I have slowly been working on the Nightmares story, including realizing I changed Draug's name half way through what I'd written ^_^;. Oops. I am up to 9-10 pages, and slowly adding the scene a scene where all the major characters that are going to be involved in this thing meet each other.

Miome and I did manage to paint one of the walls in the hallway. The color is very similar to what the color originally was (pale yellow in flat paint). However, the color we chose is a little grayer, a little browner, and NOT FLAT PAINT. I am thinking that my goal is to get rid of every inch of flat, pale yellow paint in this house. I am seriously thinking of repainting the closets (yes, they painted the insides of the closets). I could just use flat white. As long as it's not yellow.

Finally, I'm reading about rationing during WWII as told in a report that is geared more toward the supermarket/food chain side of the equation. It's really nifty. And once again, I find myself contemplating a Captain America fic, although I don't really have an idea from this book. Maybe it'll wind up being a one off sentence about living with rationing. Hrm. There is one idea in particular I want to write, but it needs to wait a few months for reasons I cannot discuss. Soon I should be able to get this out of my system. I cannot wait.

Otherwise life goes on. And now I've got to go get dressed so I can help shovel the walk. Darn snow.

Browsing through Google Books, I stumbled across a pyschology book for the Armed Services from 1945 which contains a chapter on homosexuality. Fair warning: because of the time period this book was written, it does not have the most enlightened view on homosexuality or even sexuality in general.

I just need to keep repeating the following: I will not write Captain America fic inspired by this chapter. I will not write Captain America fic inspired by this chapter. I will not write Captain America fic inspired by this chapter.I will not...

Bonus: I love the fact that this book has a chapter titled "The Fighting Man's Sexual Problem." If I were to write a story about Captain America based on this book, which I am not I swear, I would totally title it that.

Who am I?
