Yay!

This is awesome and you should all go kill a little while over there today.

Okay, SO. I have the whole day to myself and it should start snowing sooner or later. I am trapped in my house for the weekend, I have iced tea and lots of food and most of my laundry and dirty dishes are done and therefore I have NO EXCUSE not to get shit down today. *rubs hands together in anticipation*

The rule is, every time I finish a chapter today, I get to watch something that's sitting on my hard drive waiting to be watched. First thing I plan to watch after I finish the first chapter on my list is Man On Wire, which is already up to watch on Netflix.

Also, I should probably make a crack about how Cracked is maybe running out of ideas, but 5 Reasons Megatron Should Have Fired Starscream Years Ago is a viable list, damn it.

As of right now ...

Current word count for The Grand Prize Winner:

91,555 / 100,000 (91.6%)

Chapters done:



Lunch now, then it's time to get chapter 19 out of the way. :)

For the record ...

... I highly, HIGHLY recommend Man On Wire. This is a wonderful documentary. If you haven't heard of it before, it's about the Frenchman who walked a wire between the two towers of the WTC in 1974.

There's a romance here, between the wirewalker and the Twin Towers, and there's awe and joy and madness. It's a fascinating movie. There's no mention of what happened to the buildings later, just this dreamy daring French guy Phillipe the wirewalker who's this totally enchanting character you can hardly imagine is real, except he IS. I'm sitting here with this huuuuge grin on my face right now feeling amazing about everything and they're not even at the main event yet.

If you have Netflix, you can watch it instantly. God, this is wonderful.

*may be crying ... dudes, shut up ...sniff ...*

Because I just realized I hadn't even checked ...

The current word counts for all of the novels I plan to (but may not actually) finish (or at least start) in 2009:

The Grand Prize Winner: 91,984
Nearly Departed: 5,438
The Hollow Girl: 10,089
The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre: 49,159
Heroine Chic: 0

Granted, if I manage to finish five books in one year, regardless of the state they're in at the beginning of the year, I think I've earned the right to nail the Supernatural actor of my choice. *nods solemnly*
