I'm trying to edit on my lunch hour and it's shit. Shit Shit Shit that won't take a polish.

I know what this is. It's one of the breaks where I came back to it after a long time away and started back in, writing for crap.

Afternoon, folks. Spending some quality time with my old man here at the big city! Just got The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Elfm, I hope he's reading this to know I am quite thankful for it!

I think it sounds fun, but my beginnings are still in the Sucking Big Time stage, so it might not be fruitful...

yeah but Shady is just scaaaaary.

Also, she's writing a new book that is so much awesome covered in awesomesauce that i am jealousing all over the place.

Is that All Together With Feeling? I just beta-ed it (handed it back to her a week ago) - I did have some minor issues, but most of it is very very good. Since it has four narrators, and I'm just starting a WIP with three, I was taking mental notes while I was critting it.

Creepy and wrong.
My package bounced back to me. I'm still saving up my loose change to pay for the postage that evidently fell off in transit.

But does that mean they explode when you add a mentos to them?

:eek:

Anyone got any Mentos? Oh, no reason....

:e2cry:

I think they do, but if said diet-coke villain lives in a quasi-medieval fantasy land, that poses no danger, really.

:hooray:

Oh, I'm in. Not sure what I'll send, but why not, eh? :)

My package bounced back to me. I'm still saving up my loose change to pay for the postage that evidently fell off in transit.

That's still really dire and makes me cringe. I also use about 10c of clear tape on any envelopes I have to mail now to make sure they are secure.

Yep. Mine is up on the first page. Cat Hellisen. It's the current opening for Null & Void.

No a new one - an adult magical realism. it's beyond amazing - the bits I've read, anyway.

Back from New York. :: fwhump ::

Back to the maddening grind of too much work and school and not enough sleep.

But hey! We have 16 people in Sekrit Santa! That's awesome :D

I'm going crazy. Last night at around 4 am, I woke up because I thought there was an earthquake. The whole bed was vibrating (no dirty jokes needed, thanks). I woke up my partner who told me there was no earthquake and I should be quiet. Anyways. I checked online this morning...there was no earthquake, not even a little one! I'm cracking up or something. I've been woken up by earthquakes at least 3 times since I moved to LA, so I feel like I should at least somewhat know what it feels like. Please suggest alternative causes of mysterious shakings.

In other news, it is coffee times!

KP: Neighbors with a faulty sound system? *shrug* I'm thinking the most likely cause is someone's appliance(s) on the fritz. It's the only thing that even seems large enough.

In other news -- woohoo! I'm almost done with a new SYW challenge piece. There's no injuries or malice in this one, I swear :D
