things
So, a few days into November I realised that November was the worst month ever for locking yourself in your room and trying to write a bad novel in a single month, and thus, decided to stop trying. If only there was a way to officialy 'quit' nanowrimo, but no, my early change of mind now equates to a 'fail'. But hey, I'm alright with that.
I have finally finished my ShaunoftheDead/ArrestedDevelopment crossover fic, this morning. I still want to read over it and maybe fix up some of the sloppiness if I can, before posting it. I also think I'll draw some pics to go with it. I'm not thrilled with some of the writing, but I remain overjoyed at the concept. It is quite long, at rougly 11500 words. eep!
I am going to buy a new computer for myself soon. trying to decide whether a laptop or a desktop would be better. I could get a desktop and keep this older laptop anyway, or otherwise I'd wipe it of my stuff and give it to my mum because hers is ancient and crap. Also, I rarely take my laptop anywhere except maybe from one room in my house to another room in my house, which is nice to have the option but I'm more productive in my room anyway. I think that desktops use more energy though, and we almost always have the main pc turned on, so I'd feel bad if we suddenly had two on all the time, draining power. But a desktop could have even more speed, power, memory, graphics, etc than a laptop, although only the most advanced stuff is unaivable in laptops and I might not invest that highly anyway!
When I get a new computer I am considering buying some pc games! I haven't played any since the mid 90s (except puzzles and card games) and am either looking forward to playing high-end rpgs, and stuff, or am terrified of the new form of procrastination I will be inflicting on myself. Hmmm.... Also, considering buying Creative Suite, or at least a newer version of Flash, if not a whole swag of programs. The money I have, but I am not really happy about spending it all.
On the weekend I was worried that my sister-in-law had forgotten the Fraggle Rock dvds I lent her AGES ago, and was going to demand them back in fear of the being lost or 'returned' to somebody else. But when I got to their house, one of the first conversations was '..we were watching fraggle rock', also, 'i'm looking for a wembley for you' , and then they put Fraggle Rock on the tv to entertain the kiddies. I was quite happy to say nothing and extend the loan indefinitely, but no nearer to asking about the other dvds and books of mine they still have.
Oh yeah. And my niece and nephew are too cute.
I also really need to ring the driving instructor and book my first lesson. I am so slack. I got his card off him on friday (? or sat?) and I need to get a move on. anyone got a whip?
