Day 2, and PORTLAND!

It's day 2 of WW...I'm giving this a 17 week trial (because the damn meetings cost a BIG chunk o'change for the stupid 17 weeks) to see if I hit my personal goals. If so, I'll continue WW online (which is significantly cheaper and actually has MORE resources than the meetings, where you have to… Continue reading Day 2, and PORTLAND!

The WW Nation…er Office

Tomorrow is W day. As in WW...as in Weight Watchers because my fat butt needs some help. There, I said it: I suck at dieting, and I need help. I only hope it's not too horrifying to be weighed in a group of people. But maybe it'll motivate me with shame. *sigh*Actually I feel pretty… Continue reading The WW Nation…er Office

My Mental Health

Waning. It's waning. I had to take most of the day off today and put my resume out there for a bunch of different jobs. Still looking, actually. If I'm going to be stuck in Corporate hell at least I should be able to be part of creating something instead of JUST pushing paper.I know,… Continue reading My Mental Health

A Random "ARGH!"

I know someone interested in becoming a law-enforcement official of some sort. The idea of that person with more power than the average dude just scares the bejesus out of me.If I was prone to believe such things I'd think it's another sign from the universe that it's time to move out of Minnesota to… Continue reading A Random "ARGH!"

So the auto fill when I put the "I" in the title bar for this post put "Interesting guy looking for interesting girl." Um, yeah...and for some reason the AC adaptor for this laptop keeps loosening without any sort of notice, so suddnely the screen goes on powersaver mode and dims a little. This laptop:… Continue reading Interesting…

Attack of the "I Suck"

I'm a whopping ten pages in now. Have one of the backstory scenes done and moving along in the main storyline. It's true that writers are an odd breed: I find myself wondering repeatedly what the fuck I think I'm doing (no talentless hack that I am). Silencing the monstrous bitch of procrastination and fear… Continue reading Attack of the "I Suck"

Prequel

Worked on outlining and character development today. Yes, I'm fully aware it's just another form of procrastination, but it's a necessary form. After all, the one thing I've picked up from various rejection letters (including one from Marion Zimmer Bradley which I'm STILL kicking myself over...think I lost it in a move) is plotting. I… Continue reading Prequel

No Pithy Phrase Indeed

It's year end again, and last week we lost a good friend at Fest to a stroke. Two strokes, actually. He wasn't even 50 yet. Brings things into serious perspective and makes a girl take stock of her life, top to bottom.As such I've decided to make my resolutions prior to 1/1 in effort to… Continue reading No Pithy Phrase Indeed

Vacation Recap

We ran our asses off last week. Of the 10 days we spent in Florida, two were lazy beach time: the rest were either a frenzy of travel or a frenzy of sightseeing. The highlights? Swimming with dolphins at Discovery Cove and watching a Delta IV rocket launch from the beach outside our condo. Talk… Continue reading Vacation Recap
