you don't know what you've got til it's gone
I decided to make blueberry cake (pic) today with my blueberries - it was easy and tastes lovely. I gave half away to L. when we met for dinner, and cut the rest of it up for breakfast and snacks for the week so I didn't have to keep a giant tray of cake in my fridge.

I really enjoyed this week's two episodes of Legend of Korra, but I don't feel like I have anything to say. I used to be better at capturing my thoughts about tv shows, but lately I just don't have the brain for it, at least not on the weekend.

I keep thinking of things for this story and then I'm like, no, that doesn't work. Sigh. My writer's block, if you can even call it that (I try not to), isn't generally speaking a lack of words - I can write ridiculous banter for days, even when it's going absolutely nowhere - but a lack of knowing what happens next. I don't recall it being so difficult so frequently before, but the past couple of years, that's where I've really struggled, and the stories themselves haven't always provided me with the answers (which is how it used to happen pretty much all the time). I don't know why that is, but it's damn frustrating. And even if I were the outlining type, which I'm not, I don't think I could fill in the outline when I hit one of these snags. I know what the outcomes are supposed to be, but not how to get there. Why is writing so hard?

Ah, well, The Musketeers is on shortly. I only have two episodes left. I'm trying to ration them out, because ugh, I can't stand the idea of not having more. Otoh, after the thing that happens in episode 8, it has been really hard for me to not rush right into the next episode. But I was strong. Sigh. I might need a lot of fic though.
