Updatin'
I'm sitting here downing a delicious bottle of cider (Fox Barrel Blackberry Pear = new favorite EVER) after a very uneventful day off. We were going to grill up some burgers with our neighbors tonight, but one of them fell sick, so instead I made some Spaghetti alla Carbonara for Luke and I which OMG SO HEAVY. (But so good.) (BUT SO HEAVY.)
Brilliantly enough, my only other event for the day - a dental appointment for a filling - got cancelled because my dentist is out of town. So I decided to devote the entire day to writing. Which was difficult. This one scene has been plaguing me for WEEKS, and I'm still not done hashing it out.
Seriously, I always think I know where I'm going with this story, but then while I'm writing five more branches will appear that I didn't even consider, and I'm back to flailing around in despair. BUT. I always feel like crap when I set it aside, so I have to see it through. IT HAUNTS MEEE.
Fandom-wise, there's not much news in my world. Luke and I watched the second season of Downton Abbey (after rewatching S1 for a refresher - first saw it this time last year and forgot too many details). We thoroughly loved S2, even if several events stretched my suspension of disbelief a lot and seemed rather... ahem... convenient. The acting was magnificent enough to make up for any narrative shortcomings. And the costume and production design is just SWOONWORTHY, especially on Blu-ray. It's a beautiful show.
Anyway! There's so much else I'm looking forward to this year in the film, TV, book, and gaming worlds. I've been meaning to make a full post out of my anticipatory glee, because it is rather immense. Hopefully I'll get around to it before the year's halfway over. Heh.
Otherwise, work is going great (got a second raise!), our winter has been snowtacular, and in a couple of weeks I'm going skiing for the first time in my life. So if you don't hear from me ever again after that, nice knowing you! Because yeah. I am a very clumsy person. But I'm determined to try this thing, just to say I did. ;P
