ficcy and more bball
I was right; the last few scenes of the fic and the epilogue were around 3000 words. I just didn't expect to have the other 10000 thrown in the middle there. *g*
But, fic is done! Now if my artist will just pop up. She had everything done (wonderful pieces with Ellen Page as girl Stiles) weeks ago and we confirmed the posting date with each other so I'm not worried. I emailed a couple days ago and will try again after I get home from church tomorrow if I haven't heard from her.
I won't have the master post etc. ready until tomorrow afternoon anyway, but at least I won't be furiously writing it until midnight tomorrow night and maybe can catch up on some telly tomorrow after church.
Of course I haven't started the sermon... *sigh*
In other basketball news, Iowa State, the only Big 12 team to beat us so far, lost at basement dweller Texas Tech. *g* So, not only are we in sole possession of the Big 12 lead, we'll now go ahead of them in the NCAA polls next week (currently they're #9 and we're #11) and the world will be right again.
Yes, I'm cocky.
Look at our record for the last 120 years or whatever and especially the last 15 or so and see why.
I just wish our football team could at least put a few winning seasons in a row together. I finally decided not to get season tickets next year as we have a new coach and we lose a lot of our better players. I'll go to a game or two, but I'm not quite willing to shell out $300 for a team that might only win two games.
Plus, they're all on tv. When we're in London, one of the Saturday's is a bye week and the other is an away game which I can probably find a stream for or at least follow along with the live blog.
I need to go take my pills, throw laundry in the dryer and stop goofing off and buckle down on the damn sermon. Somehow I have to make a topic that could easily come off as lecturey be spiritual. Why did I agree to talk on the pervasiveness of dystopian themes in young adult books and movies?
Oh, right, because even though I'm not young, I'm the worship team's pop culture expert.
I really want to do a sermon on why Joss Whedon is god...
Maybe this summer when we tend to do light, fun topics to try to bring in younger people when they're church shopping.
At least the children's story on Pandora and "hope" and the music will be great. I've got Sounds of Silence as the musical interlude, my favorite hymn, This Little Light of Mine, as the processional, the theme from To Kill A Mockingbird for one meditation, and Rue's Farewell from Hunger Games played by my friend on the cello for the other, but I have Family Promise by Holly Near as my gathering song.
Which reminds me, I gotta go find that CD!
And write the sermon.
