Aaaaaaand aside from finishing the edit on the book, I also cracked 3,000 words on the monster ficathon entry of dooooooom. Maybe this would go faster if I weren't skipping around and writing bits and pieces here and there. Hee. :)

First thing accomplished today ... The Monsters of Moosic is now in the hands of other people I trust who wanted to read it. And not a lot of them at all. Three, actually, because ... well, I'm chicken. What can I say? Working on this thing for so long has made me horribly attached to the characters, and I'm antsy. *shrugs* :)

In other news, I love everything Barack Obama does and says, but then again, you knew that.

Arrested Development won USA Today's Save Our Shows poll. That's a good thing, y'all. Winning that poll won extra seasons for Angel and Enterprise, if I'm remembering correctly.

There was an auction of Titanic memorabilia that sold $150K worth of relics from the disaster. I would have loved to have gone. :(

The Devil's Rejects trailer. Oh, Rob Zombie, you're just trying to piss me off, aren't you?

Land developers are evicting tsunami survivors from their land. ... the fuck? Back off, asshats.

Ad blitz supporting Bush nominees -- What pisses me off about the ads I've heard on the radio is that they're so fucking condescending. "Bush has these FABOO judicial nominees who can do magic tricks and multiply large numbers in their heads and ballroom dance, because they're just THAT COOL. And we're so very, very, very, very sorry to have to tell you this, but your Democratic representative doesn't like magic tricks, hates math, and is jealous of people who can do the samba. Sad, isn't it? Let's stop him and the filibuster before he outlaws balloon animals!"

Oh, and in case you missed it because you were too busy flailing your arms in frantic worry over Not!Julia Roberts the runaway bride, North Korea test-fired a missile into the Sea of Japan. This further confirms my suspicions that I'm going to be the only one prepared and paying attention when the nuclear apocalypse starts during the finale of American Idol.

EDIT: I'm watching Ellen before I leave and Eric McCormack brought as a clip of his bad acting his episode of Highlander. HEY! Some of us actually liked that character. ;P

Something to pass time ...

In honor of Kansas debating on whether to teach evolution or creationism, tell me how we got here, and be as creative as possible. :)

You know when you're at work, and you reach that point where you're so overwhelmed with work that you just can't even begin to feel stressed about it anymore? Yeah, I'm waaaaaaaay past that point for today. (Right now, I should have maybe one full rack of packages to fix. I have three. *whistles the same song as Elle in Kill Bill Vol. 1*)

In other news, I got my dad on the phone today after way too long without talking to him, and we got to talking about our mutual addictions to Desperate Housewives. *snerk* He sounds so giddy talking about it, and remember, this is a guy who bears a striking resemblance to Homer Simpson. It's just a weird mental image. ;) He missed the first ten minutes last night, so then I had to explain what I could remember. Then I told him my Mike-is-Zach's-real-father theory, which got him all hyper and excited. HEEEEEEE. He's such a goofball. *g*

EDIT: Also, it appears as though my parents will be too busy picking up their new Mini-Cooper to come visit this weekend. You know, the theory is they will come eventually, right? *eye roll* ;) (I did inform them of when the DC LJ meet-up was so they could avoid coming that weekend, so at least I don't have to worry about missing that.)

Another time-waster, because I'm bored out of my goodamn mind, stuck at work, and wishing I could go home --

What would you do and who would you be if you were a part of the world(s) or your favorite fandom(s)? Not as if you were another made-up person, but as if it were you specifically, with all of the same faults and skills, living with and interacting with the characters from those worlds.

EDIT: And you don't get to know anything extra, not what'll happen in the future or any family secrets you're not supposed to know. You just know the same sort of crap you'd know with your best friends in the real world.
