Well, I never said it was a GOOD plan.

So here's my plan for the next couple of days -- write up the dialogue for as many chapters as possible. The more I get done, the easier a time I'll have trying to finish chapters later and knowing how the plotting is going.

And now, to keep myself from distracting myself with the thought of what else I could be doing when I'm trying to write, I'm going to scoop up my first season Veronica Mars episodes and my laptop and hie off to the kitchen to start washing and scrubbing and vacuuming. Let's see if I can get this entire apartment cleaned tonight. *cracks knuckles*

(Also, I ran out before and got material to make the stuffed Adipose baby. The fabric is this really soft silky fur -- which, okay, they're not furry, but it's a plushie, for crying out loud -- and I'm making the eyes and mouth with black velvet, and tomorrow I'm going to see about sewing in the arms and legs. And then I'm going to fill it with the microbeads from my old squishy pillow. It'll be the squeeziest doll I own at this rate. \o/)

Awwww.

Two-faced baby!

She's so cute! Look, she's got a dimple! D'AWWWW.

This is awesome.

Blood and water fuel Maasai warriors' marathon

These Maasai warriors are running in the London Marathon in their traditional clothing and car-tire sandals, carrying shields and spears, to raise money to find a vital water source they desperately need to access to help their tribe. They normally run for hours on end just to look for water dressed precisely like this. I can barely run a mile without getting tired (which I seriously need to work on, homigod), so I'm insanely impressed at anyone who even thinks they cana manage a marathon, much less in traditional tribal garb.

If you want to donate -- they need about $120k -- here's their website.

Okay, now he's fallen asleep like that.

Hey, would you look at that ...

My Bigbang (yes, I finally started a fucking story, WOOHOO!) word count:



I'm still not sure how well it's going to turn out or even if it'll turn out at all by May 1, but hey, at least I don't feel like a loser who never even started a story this year.

EDIT: Remember when I couldn't squeak out any words at all? Not even a little bit? Didn't that SUCK?

\o/

KITTY!

I think I kinda love this.

Window-shopping on the Internet

Shirts I want:

1. Sushi shirt!
2. I don't want my brother to knock anybody up, but I definitely think any kid of his should sport one of these eventually.
3. Speaking of things offspring in my family should sport, my future kid NEEDS this. Oh, yes.
4. I don't want it, but the picture does kinda make me want to write steamy political hetfic. I mean, REALLY.
5. I really have to get one of these for Jess next year. She got the same "Irish Drinking Team" shirt that I did and it wouldn't fit over her boobs.
6. If I had money, I'd get these for all three of my little cousins. If they don't already have them.
7. janissa11! Look at this one right here! I think I love this one, and I know you would. :)
8. OMG YES.
9. HA! Well, we don't know but we will. By God, we will. *fist bump*
10. I still want this one bunches and bunches.

Yeah, yeah, I know I've got to write. I'm going, I swear. :)
