I had a dream in the middle of the night that Ardian had gotten a huge gig with one of the big comic book companies and I was so excited about it I woke myself up. *laughs and laughs*

I got paid today. We’ve been putting off buying a new desktop computer for over a year (Ted’s crashed … a long time ago, and mine crashed a year ago January and then ( Read more... )

I could really go for a foot massage. Instead I get, um, well, to work on a grant application. Not as much fun, I think, although if I get the grant it will put me in line for Big Lots Of Exhausting Fun. So I guess when I look at it that way it’s not bad. :)

*eyes the CoH updater* Right. If I get busy, I can probably get the grant done before the ( Read more... )

desperance! I got your books today! I didn't realize RIVER was hardback, sheesh. I wouldn't've whinged at the price had I realized it. :) Oh, and I respond very nicely to "Kit"; try it sometime and see ( Read more... )

I have swum TEN TIMES! I am very proud of myself. I have earned a 10 day pool pass, which is slightly cheaper than paying as you go ( Read more... )

And I've got a gaming date in half an hour. *laugh* But Petite is now level TWENTY-FIVE, which makes her, I do believe, my highest-level character, and a month ago she was only 19th level. Woot ( Read more... )

I think perhaps I'm not cut out for RP servers on CoH. Too many years of MUSHing, I suspect. I was just watching a character who'd come from a sheltered background drop pieces of information about her history and cryptic clues about what she was supposed to do to find herself, and she said she shouldn't pursue them right then, because she felt ( Read more... )

End of week writing tally: 86 pages, approximately 21,000 words. 5 and a half chapters written, and I broke a hundred pages on the book. I'm 14 pages short of 20 pages a day, but 16 pages *over* my non-over-achiver goal of 15 pages a day, so I'm really happy with the week's output. And I'm utterly and totally looking forward to not having to ( Read more... )
