Hee. I'm having too much fun with Action/Adventure on movie_recs. :) Hmm ... I need some disaster movies. Oh, yes. EDIT: C'mon, guys, you know you want to join movie_recs and listen to film geeks yammer about movies. *taunts*

Okay, time to write. I'm going to knock out that first chapter today if it kills me. Which it probably will. *sigh*

So I have the last chapter done, aaaaaaaand I just got the first chapter done. Now all I have to do is get the ones in the middle done and I'm all set. :)

(no subject)

Veteran Sues After Being Called Up For Duty -- If you don't want me to think a draft is coming, then don't pull shit like this. That man has been out of the military for thirteen years. He is a civilian. If they call him up, it is not a backdoor draft, it's a freaking draft.

Bush strategist Karl Rove takes victory lap after election win -- Shut up, Karl Rove. *seethes*

Parishioners Lock Church to Back Gun-Toting Priest -- Angry parishioners chained shut a church in central Mexico on Friday in protest at the firing of their priest, whose habit of tucking a gun under his robes has earned him fame and the nickname "Padre Pistolas." And this movie hasn't been made yet ... why, exactly?

Read a book, get oral sex? -- And everybody in high school thought the bookworms weren't worth nailing. *eg*

Santa Claus Can't Get a Flu Shot -- Uh, call me crazy, but unless you want a fat, bearded Typhoid Mary on your hands, wouldn't it be a good idea to give a flu shot to the guy who's going to be in contact with hundreds if not thousands of small children over the holidays? Just a thought.

And now for movie trailer links ...

Cars -- Pixar's newest. Eh, not bad. I guess. (I'm not a big car person anyway, so ...)

Spanglish -- This is either going to be really good, or it's really going to suck. It's just one of those movies that you can tell could go either way.

Ocean's Twelve -- You know, half of the fun of these movies is that it looks like they just showed up one weekend, had a few drinks, and filmed a movie. I'm just saying. :)

Karl Rove's talking again. I'm sorry, but after the election, did they take off his muzzle? Is that why every five minutes, there's a brand new front page news story on Yahoo about something he's said? Sheesh.

This entire place smells like peppermint patties. No, I have no idea why.

NaNoWriMo has taken over my brain, I swear. I don't know what the hell happened, but all I can think about when I'm not sitting in front of my computer writing is that I should be in front of my computer writing. I keep swearing I'm going to play hooky from work one day and specifically treat working on The Monsters of Minooka like a real job. One eight hour shift, with a real lunch hour and breaks and stuff. If anybody wants to be my annoying NaNoWriMo co-worker with a goofy nickname who constantly drives me nuts, the line starts off to the left. ;)

Then again, at the rate I'm going, I should be done with my 50k a little before the 30th. *crosses fingers* But even if I do finish early, I'm still taking that day off as a present to myself and writing some more. God, I need to finish these things and get them bloody published. *sigh* (I'm not allowed to go back and look at the chapters I've finished anymore, either. I was looking at a couple of the ones from The Monsters of Minooka yesterday and I got the serious urge to edit. No! Bad writer! No donut!)

Meanwhile, my main character is saddled with a failed assassin he's captured who's had his eyeballs accidentally destroyed by Sean's powers, so out of all the options in the world of what to do with the guy, Sean has taken him to Wal-Mart. No, I don't know why yet, although Sean swears there's a good reason and he'll tell me why just as soon as he gets some nachos. And now I roll my eyes -- no pun intended -- 'cause sometimes with these characters, I swear to God I feel like a bloody documentarian. The only difference between me and a committed mental patient right now is the outfit.

*sighs*

*looks around office*

*sighs again*

Write now? *wibble*

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory poster. *squees*

EDIT: I might not agree with the vitriol and the generalization of the whole South being bad, but it doesn't stop this from being a funny rant. :)

LOOPY FANGIRL OF EDIT: Is it Wednesday yet? They just played a radio commercial for The New Gilligan's Island and all I could think was, "OMG, new Lost in two days! *squeals*!"
