Should probably not be posting again since I've still got a ton of comments and flist entries piling up, but bah. Nobody's ever accused me of being sensible about this sort of thing.

1. Happy belated birthday to livii!  Hope your birthday was fantastic and the coming year is good to you.

2. On the subject of recent movies: Where has Hot Fuzz been all my life? Especially the last few minutes of the outtake reel? *hugs movie in all its insanity*

3. Not written much lately. This is as much due to lack of time as anything else - work's keeping me quite busy, so I can't indulge in leisurely ficcing during the slow hours, and life's picked up the pace recently as well - but another bout of Writerly Self-Doubt and Angst and Woe has rolled through as well, so that's not helping. These funks generally pass in a week or so, though, so for the moment I'm hunkering down, writing aimlessly just to keep in the habit, and hoping that no one steals the prompts I want. :)

4. Concert Day is tomorrow. My uncle and I did a practice run of the route I'm going to take, which wasn't too complicated, especially since Brother will be in the passenger's seat, navigating. Unfortunately, the way does involve spending time on a highway that I loathe because everyone on it wants to kill you. 

My experiences with driving are one of the many reasons that I don't understand people at all. Do other drivers just not realize how likely you are to die in traffic? Do other people not grasp the idea that a two-ton hunk of steel, plastic, and glass traveling at upwards of sixty miles an hour is a really, really dangerous thing? Obviously, they don't, because if they did they wouldn't be doing crossword puzzles while they drive.

And yet I'm supposed to be the one who's paranoid.

*ahem* Sorry. Rant over. Anyway, the rest of today (after I get home from work) will probably be spent packing and preparing for the concert. I'm taking the day off tomorrow rather than trying to negotiate the transit time from work to home to Concert Venue, so I'll have a little time in the morning, but better to just get ready now.

5. On a completely off-topic note: Has anyone seen those commercials for Black Label liquor? The ones where the background is all black, so it looks like the name on the box, the label on the bottle, the liquid itself, etc. are all floating in the air? Does anyone know what the song is that's playing during that commercial (the only audible lyric is "mysterious chemistry/you taste like home to me")? I heard it at Banana Republic the other day and I'd really like to know what it is.

Farewell for now.
