sober as well from loneliness

It didn't seem like a lot, but I guess 700 words is. Hunh. That warrants an entry.

So far: 4576 words
How it's going: Noise investigated. Munin's magic smells like axle grease.
Where it's going: Kate's missive.
Where it's been: Sleeping on the couch.
Item of note: I didn't know how to properly spell "axle" until today. I always spelled it "axel". I am informed by Merriam-Webster that this is not the correct spelling, no matter what Wikipedia may think.

Whenever I have gone to the shooting range with my dad, he's taught me to hold the gun grip "like a teacup". I, being a smart ass, usually respond by wiggling my little pinky in the air and saying, "Like this?"

I couldn't help but think of that as I wrote about Jake stalking around his apartment with his gun. I very nearly had him hum the "I'm a Little Teapot" song. I contained myself.

I'm going to have to do some research and decide what kind of gun to give him. Probably a 9 MM...thingie. I'm a noob, so they stovepipe on me, but they're so peeeertyyyy.

Also, magazine clips: double plus good for our boy.
