Part of me doesn't want to type at all. I'd rather just sit here and run my fingers over the keyboard a couple of times, but I find myself applying pressure, forming words with a desire for some record.
It wasn't a bad day today, just long. I got up at 7:20 because I wanted to have a few minutes to write before taking off. I went out to this youth fair that I'd volunteered for (me, youth, yeah, I don't get it either). I've done it the past 3 years though and it's really quite a lot of fun. It took up most of my morning though. So I got home and did a little research for my O'Reily thing. And then off to be a music sub at the church I used to go to. I've been home a couple of hours now.
Seems like no one is writing lately. Maybe it's because we're in between 5 for 6 & Oz Magi, but there are a few people who have works in progress that could be continued. You know who you are. I was a little distressed about the HT100 Challenge, since I don't watch a whole lot of TV (no SVU, Lost, Justice, etc.), but my brain managed to wrap around one show that I know pretty well, so I'll go with that. Of course my brain just did the sickest thing, putting Lee Tergesen's character from "Monster" in a car with Chris Keller - who would survive? Sick.
I e-mailed my choir director and let him know I was playing hooky tomorrow. They don't need me this week - I've got somebody to cover me & we're not doing any special music so it's all good. I really wish the princess was back, then we could go on some kind of three woman rotation. And I wouldn't have to listen to "princess lite" working all of the solos. Brat's even going to be doing special music at my monthly Friday service - arranged without my knowledge. After he blows me off for October's (I think that's what pisses me off more than anything).
So right now it's either back to O'Reily (and I gotta admit, I like O'ReilyBrain. It's much better than KellerBrain any day) or watching one of the two movies from Netflix that have been languishing on my front table for weeks. Or the last epi of Season Six. It just makes me sad to think about watching that all the way to the bus at the end. Maybe I could turn it off after Keller falls. Now I'm depressed. So it'll be O'Reily then, I've nearly got the prologue done. I'm actually kinda happy about how that's turning out, so I'll play with that instead. Sorry to hijack you all on that train of thought - that's where my brain is.

I know who I am

Hey, P'al Kwai emailed part two of her fic 'The Marriage of Tobias Beecher' to TwistedSisterhood. There is no bus (or train) in that one. Lee was spooky in Monster. His tongue was spooky, all rolling around in his mouth as he played the drunk rapist. He was acting with his tongue. The guy is good. Enjoy your Sunday without Princess Lite, the damn solo hog.

Date: 2006-11-05 08:26 pm (UTC)On "Monster", the only reason I checked out that movie was that Charlise (and I know I probably spelled her name wrong) thanked Lee during one of her acceptance speeches. He was pretty creepy in that.
I'm celebrating my Sunday freedom by putting out my own work-in-progress centered around Ryan "I Ain't No Fag" O'Reily. Is it a symptom of really hating a particular word when you can't type it? For some reason, "fag" always initially starts with "g" on my typewriter. My brain must be translating it into "gay". Anyway, I should be having fun with Ryan for a while.

Date: 2006-11-05 05:18 pm (UTC)Good thing I have no idea who I am. *g*
Let me just say, solo hogs suck. And that's why I'm no longer in a choir. Well, that and the fact that I'm no longer a Catholic. I suppose I could do some non-church related choir, but that would imply I had time for anything but the kids and work ... oh, and writing.
And speaking of writing, yes, I am working on the crack!fic. But, but, it's not turning out as crackish as I thought it would. I am stunned, stunned I tell you.
Oh, and I'm thrilled you're working on the O'Reily story. Can't wait!
