And the Nerd-of-the-Week Award Goes To...

40,000 WORDS. Nocturnal Melee is now 10,000 words ahead of its last draft, and I still haven't gotten to the end fight scene. OMG I'm so happy!!

I've been quite the little busy nerdling these last few days. I went to painting today, hoping to be able to finish the dice painting, only to find out we were doing critiques today. *sigh* At least it was mostly done. I tried to put some finishing thouches on it when I got home, but the table needs to be redone. However, despite this, it still looks DAMN good.

Oh, and for those of you who care, I found a trailer for Coraline. I didn't know this was even in production, but I am very excited. OMG TRAILER (2). Oh, Neil, how I adore your writing. Speaking of, I FINALLY got the right edition of Sandman: The Wake. I have officially finished the series, though I am ashamed it took so long. AND it made me hate my Shakespeare class, because this "Shakespeare was Edward de Vere" ruined the effect of the last arc in the TPB. ARG.

And I've been listening to basically nothing but Katie Gray, Sufjan Stevens, and Regina Spektor for the last week. The indie-feel-good rock is taking over my life. And Ms. Gray (who voices Seras for Hellsing) was awesome enough to reply to me on MySpace. Life is a win, if I don't involve outside drama. And we won't go there right now. I want to feel happy and inspired.
