Wait, it's already gone.
Trying to nominate for YT. Trying to imagine what I'd like. Which characters in Melanie Rawn's casts of thousands? Do I want S.W.A.T or Tokyo Crazy Paradise? Should I take a punt on Spiderman Ultimates or just give up? Has anyone nominated the 500 Kingdoms yet? I want someone's take on JoJo of the Rainfire pack! But I also want the courtship of Danae and Talen from the Elenium!
ARGH.
It's actually almost impossibly tricky to pick something that at least a couple of other people know and are willing to write, let alone want. *sigh* Also there is the perennial problem (not just YT) of, even if there are people in my fandom, they don't want the characters or relationships that I do. I know, YT doesn't require relationships. But still.

Otherwise it is the Mid-Autumn Festival throughout Asia. I want to make mooncakes and have bought a ridiculous amount of ingredients towards that end... Whether it will get made this side of Christmas? *shrugs*
Honestly, I just kinda want to cook for people. I think there's something psychological in it. Comfort food, but also comfort company.

Work is kind of quiet right now, with perhaps the exception of a go-live that is...probably happening this Sunday. Some Sunday work was always to be expected in this job. It hasn't yet clashed with hockey, we might see how that goes in the next year...

I feel like I've forgotten how to transition scenes at some point. I don't know when to skip over the detail and when to draw the complete picture. I can plot a gripping story from go to whoa, but which bits to do sweepting strokes and which bits to pick out with a fine-brush? That's hard.

I need new icons. Or, at least, different ones. I don't like all these ones anymore, and I need a better selection.
