The Great Outdoors of Withdrawl

I leave in 12 hours for a 3-day camping trip. Wish me luck in not having internet withdrawl. Oh, how lovely the techno generation is...

But I've packed The Vampire Lestat and all 3 Twilight books, PLUS I still have this thesis to work on.

Speaking of, I just finished the anxiety chapter. It needs more auxillary detail, but I don't even want to look at it right now. However, it does mean that I only have one chapter until this monster that is Part I is FINISHED. *rejoices* (And hopefully at 150 pages too. XD)

And the redone query letter is almost finished. I apparently just needed to tweak it and add a bit more plot detail as I'd left it a bit too ambiguous. Hopefully I'll get those sent off before the Breaking Dawn release party on Friday.

Additionally, I still need to email the eBay seller about the still MIA holsters for my costume. Also, I was told by the manager of the campus bookstore that the new books would FINALLY be listed "next week"--hopefully while I'm gone so that I can come home to some good news.

No clever titles here!

That's right. I started the post off with a stare. What now? :P

Let me just suffice it to say that I got something done other than costume work today. Astounding, I know. You'd know my pain, especially if you follow my livejournal, as it's turning into a single-man cosplay central. Hrm. I'm rapidly trying to finish a Thurman-esque accident-era Poison Ivy for The Dark Knight on Thursday, I was finishing up a volume 3, pre-Rio Alucard for the Twilight vampire prom, and I'm still finishing the jacket for Utena for Kumoricon.

And my holsters need to arrive in the post. Please?

Anyway, even though it sounds like I've been quite busy, it almost doesn't feel like it. I haven't gotten any writing done for at least the last two weeks (unless, of course, we count today, as I'm having fun writing a character with a bit of dimentia). I've barely gotten any reading done (though it doesn't help that I'm reading Dracula, The Vampire Lestat, and Twilight all at the same time--and I totally don't have a vampire fixation right now, I have no idea what you're talking about).

Additionally, mom had surgery, and I've been trying to help her out. AND Tony's birthday is on Friday and I had to mull over what to get him. Mrg.

So, instead of my summer goal being all the way done with The Suits, I think that having Part I, at the very least, finished is about all I can strive for, now that it's the 15th. But hey, that's 125 (and counting) pages of work in one summer--that can't be anything to sneeze at, can it? Can someone other than my brain set a deadline for me? I seem to work better with deadlines.

I need to get to work on finishing this costume for Thursday. Perhaps I'll put on some more Doctor Who (Number Nine style, biatch) and get cracking. XD
