everyone's focused so clearly sometimes
a. i love this song. this is a little jay song, by way of her boyfriend/fiance/husband (depending on where in the storyline it is), chris. it reminds him of her. as little jay is not an rem fan, she just rolls her eyes at him and tells him he's a nerd.
b. i have annoyingly half-formed ideas for this post-apocafic i want to write. i know how (or at least where) the world breaks and i know what happens in the cracks, and i'm perfectly happy with the fact that the ghosts that start appearing are all pretty harmless, i'm just annoyed i don't have a plot. >.< but i do have the incestuous brother/sister twins and the girl mechanic and the girl who's trying to get from philly to oregon, which will be an adventure because there's no way over the rockies and there are no planes, and every so often the roads kind of... move. i'm not sure how much of this she knows, tho. but i need to actually write something because i want to turn it in to my writing group next month. nrgh.
b2. on the plus side, i no longer feel like i have to start at the beginning. because i'll be totally honest - the first week or so after the world breaks is not the part that interests me. i'm more curious what people are doing and how they're coping a month or so down the road. (and here i admit that i've been visually influenced by the beginning of 28 days later, when jim wakes up and london's deserted.) ("mmm, irradiated!") (i think i've had to explain that line and that scene - the one in the grocery store - more times in the past month than in the whole year since i saw the movie. heh.)
c. i completely forgot what else i was going to say. i want chili for lunch. oh, how long can i keep frozen meat in my freezer before it goes bad?
