Pumkins have all the fun
Have decided to be completely random about topic title. Because I can.
It might be what some would call fahng-tzong fung-kwong duh jeh* but I´ve just spent the entire day bored out of my mind. Not even discovering, via metaquotes, that somewhere there´s Jayne/River/Kaylee fics made my day.
(And let me add that I love metaquotes, not only because it´s like the news, only funny and about stuff I´m actually interested in, but because it literally makes me LOL**. And that is a very rare and precious gift.)
There´s this meme going on about which fictional characters you´d love to punch. patsyrant voices what K and I´ve been thinking all these years:
, just for boo-hooing his way through a couple of centuries. What's done is done, dude. Just go with it. Does it really take that long to get that you now exist outside a human moral construct? Bite who ya like, ya wuss. In fact, bite Neil Jordan for letting Brad Pitt play you in the movie. Please. No really, it's okay. This time no-one will get cross with you. Speaking as someone who regrettably must exist within a human moral construct, I'm telling you it would be the right thing to do. Bite him or I'll punch you. I figure I can take ya.
I realize I haven´t really talked about life on the other side of the pond. Letsee... We´re practically drowning thanks to a week of rain, the ceilings dripping in the kitchen, people stop and drink coffee all the time (which stopped being a good thing after a while), baskets in the supermarket are really trolleys (*curses years as a student lugging around heavy basket*), people smoke a hell of a lot more (and it´s not illigal to do so in public closed places till January) and all the streets are old.
I haven´t been out much, have I?
Oh, one last thing. I´ve been writing a fanfic based on The Planet of the Apes, Burton-version, since it came out (2001). It´s nowhere near finished, and I´ve cringed at many a chapter and said, "Total rewrite, this one". *But* I´ve finally finished a Chapter. And now all I have to do is fill in a bunch of gaps, totall fix a "But he can´t do that now...or possibly ever...but he has to" situation, and rewrite everything I wrote in first-year.
At least NaNoWriMo´s have a deadline. This thing just never *dies*.
(Plus, there´s the whole, "Not mine" aura on everything in my fic. Sigh.)
* "a knot of self-indulgent lunacy" Kudos to this site. Yes, I´ll be doing this often.
** An example of both:
bbcnewsworld says "A live, adult giant squid is captured on film in the depths of the Pacific ocean for the first time."
