Let me first say that I'm a fairly new Bujold fan, having started on the Miles Vorkosigan books early this year. Most of the ones I've read I have already re-read at least once, but I still have a few to read for the first time. They are sitting on my shelf and I am both looking forward to getting to them and dreading having no more new Miles to look forward to. Now, on to my request for help.

There is a statement that has appeared more than once in the books. It is something along the lines of, "If you can't do what you want, do what you can." I know it appears in Mirror Dance, but I'm sure it was used previously. I'd like to know who said it or thought it first and in what context. Thanks in advance to anyone who remembers for me.

Dan and I signed contracts to stay and work in Yellowstone for another month. So, we won't be leaving Wyoming until September 28th. From there, we're going to drive to the West Coast, and take Highway 101 all the way down to Southern California. Then, we head over to Florida, where we'll be living until Christmas. My grandmother has a house there, a mile from the ocean on the west coast. She only lives there from January to May, so we'll be alone in an amazing house with a hot tub on the ocean for 3 months. I'm in the process of trying to get an internship there at a print shop or something so I don't feel so guilty for not going to school.

I miss my mom more than anything,
but I'll be home for Christmas

My work schedule lately has been a bit crazy. They keep scheduling me to work shifts like 11-7 or like 2-10pm. Like, I love having so many hours, but I hate that my entire day is spent at work...Can't win I guess.
Yoko is almost done. I'm going on the 30th to make my gun at my Uncle's place. Yay for power tools! And the Nia costume I'm making for my friend is getting there too. Damn Nia for having a million gems on her. I've been castin' gems like crazy! And I'm gonna try to make a Lucky Star uniform before Japan time as well. Cause...I wanna?
So, 30 days to Tokyo time! Woot!

So I just sat in a Pub drinking a pint (yes it was beer and soda water mixed so it was fuzzy beer but still beer)watching Morris dancers perform and ate a tuna salad and had a ham sandwich. I feel very English right now.

Strange random American things that happened today. Happened to talk to the only Brit who thinks about the Americian Civil and Abe Lincoln. And was played a personal session of the Star-Spangled Banner and Camptown Ladies on an Accordian. LOLS
