Random Jeremy H. Boob quote? Why not? :p

I really gotta get my ass in gear again. This past week has been a killer at work--not busy, but hellish with the things I had been working on--so a lot of things fell by the wayside, my sleep was pretty much insufficient and I just couldn't get any writing done.

I'm contemplating rewriting Faye's current scene in Can't Find My Way Home because it's just not sounding right. It's sounding very bland and inactive. Sure, she just woke up from about 3 hours' sleep and she's being lazy, but the prose just sounds like crap right now. It's not that long of a scene, either, just her getting up, realizing her situation, and a quick passage of how the people at work are treating her now, now that her boyfriend and his sister blew up half the lab when they jumped ahead in time.

I want to get started with the Angela Death outline too. I've been sitting on that one for the last few weeks. I think this one's going to be one of my shorter stories, but not having an outline isn't helping. I haven't even picked up the story itself in awhile.

Also: Need to do a bit of grocery shopping. Don't need much, as Emm picked up some stuff on Wednesday, but we need some greens among other things.

Also: LAUNDRY. I have a boatload of it that needs doing. Luckily I have quarters, but the temptation is great to get one more roll just to be safe.

Also: Haven't heard back from the apartment management yet, but hopefully sometime this coming week they'll be replacing that broken window in our apartment. Last I heard, they might end up replacing it from the outside, but at the same time I wouldn't mind them coming in so they can take a look at a few other windows that may need to be resealed that seem to rattle a bit.

Also: Am I ever going to do the trilogy website? Stay patient, kids...once I have my shit together, it'll come. I just need to work on a few other things first. The plus side is that I think I might be able to create some fun pictures for banners and backgrounds for the site now, now that I have Photoshop. SWEET!

And on the ephemeral side, I want to get some new icons for this here LJ...and one of these days when I have time, I want to scan some of my Murph drawings and create my own mood pix with them. Plus I want to post on my other LJ today, something of substance. I won't cry if I don't get to it, though.

On the plus side, we got a lot of walking done yesterday, I've caught up on sleep, we've pretty much cleaned up the mess that the building workers caused when they reTyvek'd the outer walls and resealed the window frames (we can actually feel the difference in temperature) on the north side of the building. So this weekend isn't a loss at all. :)

I need to get a LOT done. Time to get my butt in gear. Wish me luck!! :)
