apocalypsos1.
Love the storyline. Kinda want to punch a boxing fan now, though.
2. The good news! The bonus checks are available this Friday. The bad news! Oh, wait, did I say this Friday? I meant that if you're working, you get them handed out there, but if you're not working (see: me), they're getting dropped in the mail on Friday, which means we won't get them until Monday or Tuesday.
My place of employment -- still piloting the failboat down the mighty Lackawanna.
(Of course, there's still the possibility I won't get anything, which ... ugh, I'm trying not to think about that.)
3. This article makes me want to watch Stick It again. And not just because Nastia Liukin actually wins on the uneven bars in that movie.
4. Need to take a shower, eat something, and start writing. I really want to try and finish chapter two of The Hollow Girl, because as soon as I get three or four chapters finished I'm going to polish the hell out of it and see what someone who's not me makes of it.
In other news, I'm horribly tempted to write a story about a girl who's the Zeppo. You know, her roommate's a hot ass-kicking demon hunter, the guy the roommate's got major sexual chemistry with is a vampire king, there's a love triangle with ... I don't know, a minor Greek god or something goofy like that, the roommate's best frend is a witch, and my girl is just ... you know, a girl. The one who's NOT a special and unique snowflake or a raging angst monkey. Hmm.

Date: 2008-08-21 06:55 pm (UTC)Mind you, having her reactions to the sparkly destined roomie's various dramas be the ones that sane readers have to the ridiculous heroines in urban fantasies and supernatural romances -- eyerolling at the endless whining about wanting to be normal and give up the powers and destiny and hordes of preternaturally hot love interests, noting the manufacturing of drama when life is actually going pretty well, etc. -- could be a useful narrative technique.
