Over and under-whelmed

First note: I have kicked the crappy-layout funk in the ass. Huzzah! Everything should theoretically be up and working, but let me know if something's still off?

Second note: Yard sales wear me out. Or, perhaps, less the yard sale, and more the cleaning that leads up to it. A large majority of my Star Wars stuff is gone, and most of the other "collectible" crap that wasn't really collecting anything bust dust is too. I still have quite a bit of storage in the living room closet, but once I get a curio cabinet for the after-graduation apartment, I should be fine, and even have a place for everything. And having a place for everything is half the battle.

Stuff, by definition, is evil. Idol worship, I say! Hehe. But at least the collector in me is being a bit more frugal about things.

Also, this soundtrack is amusing to me at the moment. I haven't seen the movie in forever, but the soundtrack makes me giggle. And Code Geass rules me right now. Can I have the DVD? PLEASE? Serious Crispin Freeman love.

And anime girls are very eye-roll inducing sometimes. It shouldn't surprise me that I gravitate to characters like Integra and Cardinal Sforza. LOL. The high voices and obsessions over OMG so-and-so is dating so-and-so drives me nuts. Give me action over sappy romance ANY DAY.

Writing has been rather slow in the last week and a half, but I've finally finished reading Twilight (and subsequent sequels), and I've started on American Gods which is rather similar to the idea of "The Suits," which amuses me, since I started it before I started seriously reading Gaiman's novels.

Your friendly neighborhood PSA

I have just a couple of quick notes this morning:

I'm working on a new layout. I haven't liked anything so far, though, so it may take a bit. But I promise I'm working on it.

Pandora's name is now (tentatively) Cassandra/Cassie--which still fits my Greek dorkiness. But now we don't know if we're going to keep it, as the kitty is a hellion and attacks Athena. D:

The Suits is still coming along. I wrote about half of chapter 7 today, and a bit of what's to come in 8.

Letter #7 was not only a rejection, but a total waste: The agency is no longer accepting new writers. I don't think I'll count this as a rejection, but a mistake. But either way, I'm still at 7 letters and no good news.

BUT I was thinking while watching Underworld. I may be restarting the book, again. And totally dropping the "tapes" idea. Perhaps the macabre funeral thing will work with something else?

I wanted to dislike Twilight on the pretence of it basically being yet more paranormal romance. But, in wanting to prove everyone wrong on how good it is, I borrowed it from my sister, and was 80 pages deep 45 minutes later. All 495 were finished in about 4 total hours in the last two days. Needless to say, I didn't dislike it afterall.

I'm already 2 chapters into New Moon. The bandwagon kidnapped me. Help?

Money in 4 days. Tony comes over in 2/3. Hurrah, human interaction! And I get to be computer saavy!

Feist is amazing, kthx.

My physical writing portfolio is edging on being as thick as my skull, just FYI. :D

This blog post was almost pointless. XD
