Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I hope you have lots of things to be thankful for this year.

Cookie Day - i.e. E's class's graduation to agent level, went over very well. I made the cookies fresh this morning (chocolate chip and peanut butter) so they were still warm and soft when we delivered them. Everyone really liked them and there are now no more cookies.

I have so much to do this weekend! Woo, in honor of Friday, I'm making myself a list so I can figure things out without getting too overwhelmed.

1. Get Car insurance! (Esurance sucks and is way too expensive)
2. Backup the laptop
3. Reinstall DreamWeaver
4. Clean house!
5. Do the laundry
6. Complete FicPlus Genre stamps
7. Work on that story
8. Draw Something (if there's time)
9. Brush the dogs

If I manage to get all those things done I will be so very very happy!

September 1st, 2009 is a good day for Dolphins.

Quoted from this article, written by Richard O’Barry of the Save Japan Dolphins Coalition.

"Today is September 1st, the first day of the dolphin slaughter season in Japan. But when I arrived today by bus from Kansai Airport with media representatives from all over the world, the notorious Cove from the movie was empty. There were no dolphin killers in sight."

I'm nearly in tears. How fortunate...

A new writer's game?

So I've come up with a new idea for writers. If anyone's interested in playing let me know?

It will probably work best with a larger number of players 2+ and the possibilities are pretty infinite if there were 4 or more, I would think.

Anyhow, it's a sort of original character roleplaying TAG.

I've already started it with my primary writing partner and am seeing how well it goes, but I'm feeling pretty stress-free and creative so I think it might be a good time to start something like this.

It's not specifically meant to write a STORY, but to RP spur of the moment, sort of.

Any takers?

I have two things that are going to get done today and a specific order they must be accomplished in.
  1. Clean up the downstairs.
  2. Spend the rest of the day writing.
I'm quite happy with how today is panning out.

What does this Rorschach blot look like to you?

It looks sort of like two cherubs or else, two little gremlin things with rabbit ears that are kissing. Or an evil smiling mask thing... o.O

Last update before we'll be at the beach!

Heading out in less than an hour to pick up mum and then head out. Squee!

AC09

We will not, unfortunately, be making it to AC09. Too much, too quick, too soon... I was trying to deal with things by not paying attention to the fact that we would be missing AC, but all of our friends from out of state will be coming in and that's sort of... really depressing that we can't do everything we want to do and that means missing out on AC this year...

Sigh.

It's entirely possible that I friended you in the last few hours <3

It's almost definitely because we know one another, at least briefly, and in real life as a matter of fact. SO.

Where do you know me from? Anthrocon, probably - though it looks like I will not make it there this year -SADFACE- 8

So my nape piercing needs redone. I want to get it redone in short order - unfortunately, it's either going to be very expensive this time, or it's not getting done, because my piercer apparently will not answer her phone!

This makes me annoyed, but hopefully I will be able to get in touch with the other people involved this week and she will answer the phone for THEM so that I can get a message to her that she should help me out with my piercing, dammit.

Might be she's out of town, but I doubt it.

I don't bite. I mean - you can ask, but generally I keep my teeth to myself.

If you've seen my profile somewhere asking for writing buddies or know someone that is also on my friend's list and think I might be interesting, please do friend me :) The more the merrier!
