I don't have to blog but why not. My cleaning is slowly making progress. I'm breathing in and out. My left leg is sore and bruised but doesn't seem to be causing much trouble. I've had deep vein thrombosis more than once so I'm a bit cautious.

I spoke to my mother and sister yesterday, my aunt today. Nothing earth-shattering there.

I'm hoping for a calm week. I leave Saturday and there's lots to do.

I'm supposed to do a review but I'm not currently in the mood. But I did look at Patricia Gilliam Author Icon's "Fictional Character ResourcesOpen in new Window.

Which lead to

which lead to

Butter face:

"Good from far, far from good".

Referenced in Aztec. In Nahuatl, there's a spirit in some areas called the Xtabai, who appears first as a flame, and then a beautiful naked woman who dances a ways off, but the unwary traveller can't see her face. When she's lured him to quicksand, she reveals her face to him, and it's a grinning skull. When Mixtli follows the flame, he finds some sort of muck that smells like rotten eggs, and comments that no matter how beautiful, no one would want the Xtabai if she reeks like that. It turns out to be useful, though, as the muck is a sort of tar that is good fuel for his fire.

Or in other words a total feminine package except the face. I don't thnk I've ever used this trope.

What I find useful is that there are hundreds of tropes that I never use, so when looking for characters this could be a goldmine.

Maybe review another day... I have so much non-writing work to do...
