Thoughts that are distracting me from my work
Posting in hopes of getting at least some of these out of my head!
--It probably says something that when I found the bedroom fan in the bathtub this morning, my first thought was "How the hell did the kittens get that in there?" (What it says is probably that I wasn't awake yet, but I'm more entertained by the thought that it says how highly I think of my kittens' capabilities.)
--When I hit a certain point in my rewrite script, I can stop work for the day and get back to rereading Untold. Yes, I'm aware of how sad it is that my work is going slowly because I'm too distracted by thoughts of the thing I want to do and can't until I get my work done. *facepalm*
--I now have beta notes back on two fics from
wildpear (first notes on one, second notes on the other), and I wonder what the odds are that I can get one of them posted before going back to the office on Thursday.
--It would be really good if the BPAL Weenie update went up tonight. (It's now late enough that I'm worried something's actually wrong with Beth or her family, even though I expect that if something were that wrong, she or someone on staff would have mentioned it by now.)
--I'm thinking of growing my hair out for a while, which in practice would likely mean "until I get sick of it", since I've essentially given up on the idea of ever having actual long hair again. (Wow, it's been over ten years since I cut it off.) Being friends with the Elf has transformed my notion of "long hair" to the point that I no longer feel my hair's maximum growth length really counts, anyway. (Hers is down to her knees. Mine maxes out at something like elbow length.)
----->I miss being able to put my hair up, despite knowing that when it's long enough to do so I mostly get frustrated by my inability to do anything interesting with it. ("Put it up" usually means "twist it off my neck and into a clip. Messily.")
----->I want to be able to put BPAL in it. At chin length it's long enough that I can do that, of course (at any length it's long enough, really), but I like pulling it back and then having all the lovely smell around my head when I take my hair down for bed.
----->It's been two years now since I buzz-cut my hair. O_o And the haircut I had before that was a pixie cut, albeit briefly, so I can barely remember how long it's been since the last time I had my hair longer than a bob.
--I remember having notions of catching up on Agents of SHIELD (read: seeing past the series pilot) before going back to Casual Job. My past self is hilarious.
--I don't plan to make any Yuletide nominations (IIRC you can even if you don't intend to participate officially, but I feel weird about the thought of doing so), but I'm watching the unofficial spreadsheet with interest. And hoping Newsflesh gets nominated again; surely it will? *fidgets* October Daye has been nominated already, which is all to the good. ^_^
