A few random things

-- Elton John and his partner are interested in trying to adopt a Ukrainian orphan after a tour of an orphanage there. Aw, the picture of him and the baby. *heart melts*

-- Christian Siriano's stunning Fashion Week collection. Oh, WOW. I love every single piece in that collection, especially number 24. And that skintight bodysuit is phenomenal, although I'm pretty sure no one can wear it in public and get away with it.

-- 5 Facts About Woodstock The Hippies Don't Want You To Know

-- My goal for today is to try to convince my brother to watch Man On Wire. He's got my Netflix username and password, so he's been using it to watch movies and things while he plays WoW, so I want to sell him on giving it a chance. I've been debating watching it again myself, because I watched The Falling Man on Friday and upset myself, and I was going to follow it up by watching Man On Wire again but that would have only made me cry harder. Hell, the TRAILER is enough to make me well up.

-- I'm going to finish the chapter I'm working on for Heroine Addiction and then I'm going to print out what I've gotten written for the rest of the book, tape it into a notebook, and spend the rest of the day sketching out the details. It'll give me a chance to FINALLY watch that first True Blood DVD that's been sitting on the TV stand for a week now.

-- My computer desk smells like pumpkin pie because I have pumpkin pie air freshener and I may have gone a bit wild spraying it around the joint. Mmm, pie.

All I gotta say ...

This song is going to leap into my head every time the health care debate comes up now.

What I've accomplished today

The only thing I've gotten done today writing-wise is printed out what I've got left of Heroine Addiction and putting it into a notebook to add notes to. It took me ten minutes and yet I still feel very accomplished.

I actually spent more time with my mom trying a Christmas knit cap on the cats. Well, she did most of it. I just stood there and didn't stop her, which was enough for my dad to consider me an accomplice.

To be fair, the notebook thing actually helps a lot. I'm pretty sure there's a few chapters that can just get streamlined into other ones, which means I've got more done than I think I do. Or something.

I may take tomorrow as a mental health day. It's kinda sad that I feel like I need the same sort of mental health days I occasionally needed when I actually had a job, but ... yeah. I'm tired and I'm cranky and I'm stressing myself out so much lately over everything from work to money and back again that I'm pretty sure I stressed myself right out of my last period. Good times. I've never done that to myself before in my LIFE. *eyeroll*
