You know a couple of years ago when they had that Monster.com commercial and the woman parked in front of her office, sat there for a second staring at it, and then started screaming and banging her hands on the steering wheel?

Yeah. That.

So, our computer died Sat night and it took us all day Sunday to get it back up and running okayishly (yep, that's a word). It still keeps freezing and giving us the blue screen of death on occasion (and last night it restarted itself, which is the first time it's ever done that), but it works... for now. Still, it looks like we'll be getting a new ( Read more... )

Ok, first: I'm not getting any LJ replies right now, so if you say something to me and I don't reply that is why ( Read more... )

Have barely written anything since taking that day off on Thursday. I'm still woefully behind at 6k (maybe at 7k with what I wrote last night, but I haven't typed anything up for days). One of my Wrimos emailed me last night, saying they were way behind and what should they do, and I had to bring out the ML pep-talk but in the back of my mind I was ( Read more... )

Ugh. DeMint won the senate seat again, which does not surprise me one bit, especially considering his opponent was freakin illiterate Greene (he may be literate, but I don't know because HE NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO SAY EVER except "get off my daddy's lawn"). I didn't vote for either of them - I wrote in a candidate because they both sucked SO MUCH ( Read more... )

After two days in a row of playing ML at NaNo events I am exhausted. But writing! And I'm going to try to keep uploading my chapters to bookofsouls as I go. Chapter 1 is up there already! And I started Chap 2 today, but I've been sidetracked by a more interesting scene in which the bad guys try to kill Nea because they think she's someone else. Fun!

So, I've been really horrible lately at keeping up with online stuff. Blame work - it's been insanely busy and I've got syringe-thrower tattling on me every time he sees me doing anything other than work. But this week I'm doing Herbicides <3 <3 <3 ( Read more... )

So on Thursday night our oven's heating element broke, and this morning the dishwasher decided it wasn't going to drain anymore. *sigh* And while the heating element will be a quick fix once we find the part, I'm not sure what's wrong with the dishwasher (hopefully just a clog that we can flush out - the actual dishwasher seems to be working ( Read more... )

Oh holy Sheemie. No wonder they give you the birthday massage for free - I feel like shit today. My back is so sore that my skin hurts like I've been sunburnt. I seriously hope it doesn't last, because I don't like it ( Read more... )

I don't think I've done any writing or editing in over a week. But I did manage to get my fast mount for Kindra in WoW, and Kaye's nearly got her mount and portal ability, and Karigan can now swim really fast as a seal and should be getting her mount this weekend. So yes, I've spent the past week playing WoW and reading my birthday book (the Nook ( Read more... )
