So, let's see.  computer fun )

* Public Service Reminder:  Back up your data!  (This is the memorial of dead hard drives everywhere, yes?)  And while we're on the subject of reminders, have you rolled your shoulder a few times lately?  Your neck?  Had a glass of the low-caffeine/no-caffeine beverage of your choice? Walked around, even?

::two minutes later:: Okay, now I can talk.

Spook Me & NaNoWriMo )

health, mine and Mom's, plus a martial arts classes sidenote )


In much more minor news, I got a haircut.  By which I mean my hair is now shorter than shoulder length for the first time in years.  I'm kinda liking this haircut, too.  Oh, and [personal profile] alysswolf got me into Flight Rising, so I'm raising pretty pretty dragons.  Because I needed another time-suck, yes?  ([personal profile] alysswolf , via [personal profile] tarshaan , via [personal profile] ilyena_sylph .  Oops.)

And this is long enough I'd better cut tag it.  Okay.

If anyone wants on a filter for 'how the daily writing is going,' comment here? Or you know, I'll just post nightly and y'all can yell if I'm cluttering your friends-lists.

My lovely husband got a call from the head of his karate association yesterday:  [personal profile] draconis just got promoted to seventh dan (seventh degree black belt).  He's now a grand master!
rhi: Dief, waiting for you to say something.  "yo." (Dief)
Three Four things make a post, right?

I'm voluntarily breaking my heart by watching "Victoria's Secret" again, for reasons having to do with the 20th anniversary of due South on the 23rd of this month. (Their anniversary is on Shakespeare's death date? This seems oddly appropriate somehow.) God, this episode hurts.

Sword class is turning out to be a great deal of fun, if a little hard on my elbows. To my vast amusement, my inner Aidan keeps surfacing, when it's not my inner Connor. (I'm worrying some of the teenagers with my comments. Oops?)

Upon reflection, I think the movie title for Cap 2 was just a little wrong. Meandering Captain America: The Winter Soldier thoughts, with spoilers )

Last, and most minor, is anyone else playing Dark Manor? If so, what's your Id there? I'm at 2 High Flyers Lane.

Okay back to watching this ep. God. They did a good job of it.
rhi: Duncan and Kronos, silhouetted, from their final fight. (challenge)
I suspect it's relevant to most of y'all's interests!





And now back to writing. At least now I know where/when scene 2 takes place (this is good; scenes 1 & 3 are mostly written but I needed to know all three to write 4!) and I've always known scenes 4 & 5.
rhi: a quill on vellum.  Just write. (plot)
Dragon's off to get promoted to 5th degree blackbelt and I have a long weekend to walk and write and repeat.  See you guys in a while!

And I'm slowly working my way through the 10 questions of fandom entry from a week back, guys -- don't give up hope.

Two memes, both from[personal profile] lomedet:

15 books meme:  "This can be a quick one. Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes."

15 books )

5 things meme:  comment on this post and I'll tell you five subjects/things I associate with you. Then you post them in your journal and elaborate.

[personal profile] lomedet gave me

five things: Highlander, fictional threesomes, martial arts, the South, and fannish community )

Right. Now I'm off to bed, and tomorrow I start slaving over a word processor again. It has been a stone bastard of a week, for me and mine, and I send you all good wishes, and I wouldn't mind a few for myself.  Take care, all of you.  Please.

rhi: A candle-lit labyrinth with a person just entering. (cloudy moon)
Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] flambeau (including her final disclaimer), to be answered Sunday or Monday, when I get home:

If there is any question you would like to ask me about any one of my fics, then go ahead! What I meant by a particular line, why I chose that characterisation, what I was listening to as I wrote, what crack I was taking and where you can get some...anything. Anything you might like to know about how I wrote a fic, I shall do my best to answer.

Though it's entirely possible that the answer is "It seemed like a good idea at the time." :)

Anyway. Off to let Dragon contemplate venison for the freezer. Have a good weekend, y'all.

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by ... some of them are golden only because we let them slip by. - James Matthew Barrie,

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who only dream by night. - Edgar Allen Poe

I often warn people: Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, 'There is no "I" in team.' What you should tell them is, 'Maybe not. But there is an "I" in independence, individuality and integrity.' - George Carlin
