Dear Congress, please stop voting on shit when I've got to write.

ONTD_P is entirely too distracting when stuff's getting voted on. So much for the chapters I was supposed to get done yesterday. *sigh*

Okay, for my own reference ...

Heroine Addiction:

92727 / 100000

I still have six chapters to get done today. I want to get at least two out of the way, because one's about three-quarters of the way done and I don't see the other being too long, but I'll just be happy to get any done, considering how distracted I got yesterday by Palin trolls and live posts. *glares at ONTD_P*

This Way To The Egress:

5468 / 50000

Which, obviously, I'm behind on in terms of NaNo word count. The thing I'm counting on is that it does flow very easily once I start writing, and that I've got a bunch of ideas of where to go and what to write. (If anyone's wondering what the plot is, for all intents and purposes, I'm raiding my life for experiences and rewriting them as if I were a fictional character with a medical condition that regularly and briefly gives me different magical and superhuman abilities. So basically a Mary Sue with a horrible temper who spontaneously turns into a vampire. Or gets superhearing. Or becomes telepathic for a week. Craaaaaaack. :D)

But right now the plan is to get Heroine Addiction done first and out of the way before I focus on Egress, because I'm thiiiiiiiis close to the end.

EDIT: Oh, and my representative was one of the Democrats who voted for the bullshit Stupak amendment. I immediately emailed him after the list of who voted appeared on the House website and told him that while I understand he may have voted it in in an attempt to get the health care bill voted in with the hope that it gets tossed later by the Senate, I cannot in good conscience vote for someone who thinks that I don't deserve to get a perfectly legal medical procedure and so he has lost me as a supporter, regardless of how supportive he may be of the public option. Smooth move, jackass.

Nobody ever tells me anything.

-- I have no idea if I'm starting the training for that full-time job tomorrow or Wednesday or whenever. The last time I talked to the temp agency, they just told me to take the typing and other tests they emailed me and they'd get back in touch with me, and that was on Friday afternoon. I'm kind of hoping I have until next week so that I can get the dentist out of the way and go pick up some business-type clothes, but I doubt it. That's just not my luck.

-- Who wants spoilery bits about this week's Glee? I will say this much that's not really spoilery -- Finn's pretty, but my God, there is not a male singer on that show who can't kick his ass vocally (at least so far as we've seen; Stephen Tobolowsky may have even done a better job) and it's a shame we don't hear from the rest of them more often.

-- Tonight on TAR is haaaaystaaaaacks. I don't have enough liquor for this. The last time we had haystacks, we lost a great likable team, and the chances aren't good we won't lose another, considering the only team left who even approaches unlikable is Brian and Ericka. Well, mostly Ericka.

-- I don't really watch SNL anymore, but Taylor Swift was on last night and I sprained something laughing at this driving PSA and the Twilight spoof.

-- This Not Always Right entry made me die laughing.

-- 6 Movie Plots Made Possible by Bafflingly Bad Decisions

-- I know they announced it a week ago or something, but nothing makes me happier about TV lately than that they're talking about making a TV series that follows the events of 2012 and tells the story of the survivors. And at the same time, disappointed there WILL be survivors. But, hey, gimme a 2012 show and see if I complain.

Speaking of, FRIDAY BABY AW YEAH. \o/

EDIT: Hey, who wants to know what the couples will be dancing to this week on SYTYCD?
