rambly post which starts about being tired and turns into notes on Transformers/Knight Rider gen fic
Am so tired I feel like I'm going to collapse face first onto my desk. It hit me at about 1:00pm, which is earlier than it usually hits, if it hits. I would say it's because I've been waking up early for the Tour, but I slept until 6:00am this morning, which is only half an hour earlier than my alarm is usually set (today is a rest day for the Tour). Maybe that's why I'm suddenly tired--my body thinks it is allowed now. Alas, I must be up tomorrow at 4:30am. Must make sure I'm in bed by 8:00pm.
Would go for coffee, but I told a friend I'd go for coffee with him this afternoon, and my sugary drink eating rule (I have a whole set of eating rules; it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle) says only three sugary drinks per week, and if I have coffee now and coffee later, that's two sugary drinks already on the first day of the week. And that was an awful run on sentence, wasn't it?
My MacBook had an unexpected error with Mac OS X and had to be restarted about an hour ago. With a PC I wouldn't think twice, but with the Mac it makes me nervous. I wish my 150 GB drive wasn't totally full (and formatted for PC...) so that I could back up with it.
Also, this past weekend was extraordinarily productive. I didn't get everything on my list done, but that's because there were exactly 30 things on the list. I got 20 of them done, including all the urgent ones and almost all of the not-quite-urgent-but-soon-is-good ones. This intense weekend productiveness might, possible, be contributing to my tiredness today. I almost didn't make it on the stairmaster this morning. Normally I don't start leaning on the rails until at least 15 minutes in. This time I was leaning before even one minute had elapsed and I was almost dead by the time I finish all 30 minutes, but I made it.
Also, someone needs to write a Transformers/Knight Rider crossover. Gen fic. Not that slash wouldn't be scary and wrong in that fun way (I can just see the cars getting friendly and Michael getting terribly jealous and it ends up getting Michael and KITT together and don't look at me like that!), but I think gen fic would be even more fun.
I'm way too tempted to write it myself, but the way my brain is it would end up being all angsty because the Autobots can take a much more versatile shape and poor KITT is stuck in car form. I wonder what would happen if one took the All Spark to KITT? Would he go evil? Since all the things the All Spark makes seem to be evil. Or would it kill him and replace him with another personality? Or would it just make it possible for him to transform?
I actually kind of have a Transformers/Knight Rider crossover gen fic bunny. Something vague leaks into the press about super-cars and Knight Industries wonders if someone else has been working on an AI like KITT or if somehow someone has stolen information on KITT or if they're going to have to deal with another KARR. So they send Michael and KITT to invetigate, and they meet Bumblebee and Optimus Prime and the others. There could even be an adventure, maybe connected to the source of the leak. Oooh, maybe someone knows about the Autobots and is threatening them with exposure if they don't do something for this person and the leak was a sort of demonstration of power! That would so work.
...
Damn it, the bunny was all general and vague before I wrote that down. Now I really like the sound of it. But I'm less than a week from finishing another long project and after that I've committed to another long project, and this one would be long, too...
Why do I have to have so many bunnies that I have no time to write? Seriously, dozens and dozens of bunnies that I love never get written for lack of time. *sighs*
