- HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

[profile] minerva_fan! Hope you're having a lovely time of it, and that the coming year is good to you.

- Does anyone have a copy of the Beatles' "Hey Jude" they wouldn't mind e-mailing or messaging to me? It's for a good cause (read: fanmix). In related news, MediaFire is still being wierd about that music meme I did; if it's not working by this weekend, I'll upload it somewhere else. Sorry for the delay. 

- I LOVE MONK. I haven't watched it in a long time, and there's an episode on now that I've seen at least three times, and it's still brilliant. Best of all, new episodes of it are coming soon! And of Psych! And Burn Notice! And The Closer! Oh, summer fandoms. How you refresh.

Am considering writing a Summer Fandom fic for [profile] unusuallygen, since I haven't written a Law and Order casefile yet and I'd rather try something lighter than a big serious casefile. My summer shows are, on the whole, less serious fare than my fall programs, and so have more room for lighter fic. Since my prompt is for "going undercover as a married couple", I'm thinking Lassiter and Juliet or Disher and Natalie might be good for it.

Yes, it's due in less than thirty days. Of course I haven't started. Silly question. 

 

- Am hitting a bit of a slump as far as Memory is concerned. Even in quick drafts, my prose has become workmanlike and dull. I feel like I'm just describing a plot outline rather than creating something interesting. 

Have tried to take a break by working on various small fics for

[community profile] whoniverse1000, which aren't coming to much. The Two/Polly keeps stalling since my voices for both characters are shaky, and the Three/Section Leader Shaw began its life as Yet Another Attempt At Writing Porn (yes, it gets a capitalisation; there's been so damn many) and is currently ending up as a very, very gen-flavored meditation on mathematics and what can and cannot be calculated. This should tell you a little about how my brain works. 

- Realized that I completely forgot about The Smugglers in my Ben n' Polly Summary About the Love. Should fix that before I get it posted. 

- Played DDR at a friend's party recently, which made me realize how much I missed it. I'm still decent at it, although I can't do much past Easy Mode. It was pretty much my only mode of excercise during high school, and after something I'll discuss in a locked post later I've been realizing how badly I need that exercise. Thankfully, Brother said he'd be okay with me taking the PS2 with me to college, so I fully intend to set up DDR in my new room. 

- Wore my pantsuit to work today (which doesn't look as good on me as I thought it did, woe). Dad asked if I was honoring Yves Sant Laurent (RIP). It took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about. 

And now to bed.

Good to hear it! I'm glad you had a good birthday, in spite of the...disappointments in the news. :)

PS2s are getting really cheap, actually, now that the PS3's come out. I don't think they're more than $100 a pop if you get them used, and while that's still pricey, it's cheaper than they were.

My schedule's more or less open after work, except for the 11th, which is Concert Day. When are you going out of town?

i'm going out of town today, and coming back wednesday, so i guess the weekend would be the best bet. Are you working the same job, you had last summer or do you have a new job?

That'd probably be the best time for it. I'm working the same job in the same office as I did last summer, so you know where to find me. :D
