apocalypsosDude, why am I the only one at the shipping place who seems to get why the one driver is fasting? One guy I was trying to explain it to asked me where Ramadan is.
*headwall*
And then he asked why anybody would want to do that. Gee, I don't know. Religious conviction comes to mind. (Don't mind me. It probably wouldn't bug me so much, but this is about the third time we've all had this conversation. And every time, I'm the only one who knows what's going on. Le sigh.)
Gotta give the guy credit. I couldn't fast like that. I'd be sneaking Snickers bars by noon of the first day. And I don't even like Snickers bars.
********
You know how writers and directors have a "thing"? Like, Stephen King has Maine and Kevin Smith has Star Wars discussions and Steven Spielberg has daddy issues. Well, I was working on my story today and I figured out what my "thing" is.
Magical bathroom stalls.
Seriously. You wouldn't think there'd be a narrative use for magical bathroom stalls, and yet I'm on my third story with a magical bathroom stall.
So that's my signature "thing", I guess. Either that, or my muse just really has to pee.
********
I'd just like to state for the record that Jack Black's performance in "School of Rock" was mentioned in the Bst Actor section in Entertainment Weekly's "Oscar Watch" article this week.
So, you know, know your local fallout shelter. You never know.
********
Ooo! Ooo! When my boss was leaving work today, she said that she found something outside that she thought I'd like and she thought I deserved it as a present for doing such good work. So she gave it to me, and GOOD HOLY JESUS IN A STRING BIKINI AND TOP HAT, do you know what she gave me? Do you?!
A theater-quality, lifesize poster of Legolas from "Return of the King".
Now, I'm not saying this as some sort of slobbering Legolas fangirl. I'm saying this as some sort of slobbering LOTR fangirl. If that poster had been of Viggo, Ian, Billy, Dom, Elijah, Sean Astin, Sean Bean, Karl, Andy, Shadowfax, or even a six-foot pile of the fake hobbit feet, I would have made the same excited squeaky noises that I made when I realized it was a Legolas poster. Because of course, I am a LOTR fangirl, otherwise known as the Minions Who Say Squeeeeee!

And now I'm wondering if muses go to the ladies' room in packs, like some women do...

YES! I LOVE your magical bathroom stalls!!!! Last I visited one I was whisked away to a magical world--and I want to know where the hell its gotten to!
And kewl beans on the recognition of a job well done and the Leggie poster. Five days I think it is yes until the extended version is out and I am so ready to celebrate...
C, contemplating how to convince spousey to go hunting AGAIN next weekend-hmm.....
