Dad and I built a desk top this weekend, and I installed it in my dining room tonight, where the secretary was. After two years I have all my computer stuff in the SAME place! For the first time EVAR I have a printer hooked up so that I don't have to lug the laptop somewhere else to print. The fact that it is a sexy sexy Epson R1800 printer is just icing on the cake.
I haven't managed to find homes for everything that lived in the secretary yet, or find a home for the secretary, for that matter. For typing I really ought to invest in an adjustable height chair (the desk sits on top of a filing cabinet and is an inch or so two high for comfort). At the moment I'm getting a slight high from the varnish fumes. Still, I count the evening a success!
How am I celebrating? By generating and printing off hundreds of words from LangMaker, hopefully following the patterns already set out for the Dru Edin language. I have such a small set vocabulary so far that it's hard to notice patterns, but I can tell that some things don't feel right. I discussed the language and my world creation in general with Erik on Sunday, and had to explain that while 9/10s of my process was logical, analytical, quasi-scientific puzzle solving, the remaining 1/10 is gut feel. Should you run up against a place determined by gut feel, you'll find that despite being a small fraction that is ill represented, Gut Feel has more sway than everything else. That's right - it's a super delegate.
So, back to exploring new areas of vocabulary. What is the strict rather than relationship possessive? How does one totally negate an adjective quality? For heaven's sake, what do verbs look like?
We won't even touch on why the ONE language I've started truly creating for Calenthe is of a people whom I've set no stories around, and uses neither of the two conalphs already made. Go figure...
