This rebate card is still burning a hole in my pocket. I'm absolutely going out to Best Buy and the mall area tomorrow to do some putzing around. I wonder if HDTVs are still inexpensive...
HDTV, XBox 360, Wii. DVD boxed set of Black Cat. PS2 games. High-fastening pants. Wait, no...
Oh writer's block. Why are you so attached to me? I want to write...I know WHAT I want to write. But then, I open up Microsoft Works and...I just stare at it. So I leave go take a walk, whereupon I think even more of what I want to write. Then come home. And...play with my Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Then I put those away before even making a new deck, and...play Chrono Trigger. So I bore through a bit more of that and then....read my LJ friends' page. And then I come here to write an entry. ABOUT HOW I AM NOT WRITING.
It seems like I never have anything dire to do, but I never find time to write. And when I do have the time, it seems like such a chore to get the words to come out correctly. Story of my life, nothing new, and yet...I had been doing okay for a while.
...And right now, Kathleen sent me the letter she wrote to apply for an internship, so I have to edit that.
Wow, so...that took an hour. One less hour of writing time tonight. It took me an hour to edit one page. That is terrible...I kept losing focus and asking silly questions.
It did get me working in a Works document, though, so...I'm CLOSER.
A lot of my problem is what it always is: I can never decide whether to write my Kyre series (fantasy novel, kinda sorta) or my Chosen series (novelization of a comic universe style story). Everytime I get started on one, I want to/feel I should do the other. It is conflictual. Conflictual is a word, Firefox? I thought I just made it up. Huh.
Hmmm. I get really, really annoyed at the similarities I always see between my Chosen series I have been working on since 1999 and the tv show Heroes. Even moreso now that I have seen two episodes of the show. Two of the main characters are a cheerleader and a geeky guy that teleports. COME ON. That's not even close to fair...it's 40% of my main characters. How could this be so coincidental? I think I've been ripped-off.
Heh. Makes me want to radically change the Vinny and Becky characters. THAT WILL SHOW THEM something something.
I've had this LJ up for an hour and a half now, and it's like zero length long. Pah.
I headed out to Monroeville today and was killing time in the mall; their calendar store, which goes out of business soon, had a 2009 koala calendar for 75% off. I should have bought it, but I didn't...I realized I can always just Google koala images, so paying money for 13 pictures of them is not really necessary.
I have been told recently that walls are boringly bare, and that I need decorations to go on them.
Hm.
I miss my "Don't Fuck With God" poster. I really wish I still had that...I can't remember which time I moved that I lost it.
