So... in repeat news, I love writing, even when I hate it. I think this implies it is good for me, and should try and do it more. But seriously, when the hate rises... dang, but words suck. Plain blank screens are the tool of the devil. Crowley would be proud of the levels of unpleasantness I am capable of spreading around when the words aren't working, or my beta readers don't get the thinks or the feelings I'm trying to get across. (And no, that think was not a typo. I meant thinks. Not things, not thoughts, thinks. It emphasizes the AWKWARD of my current annoying project.)
Or projects, really. I'm mostly just working on one particular fanfic, *insert fanfic NOT MY STUFF, I JUST LIKE IT disclaimer here*, but I do still have a couple character backgrounds floating around the back of my head. I really should work on them. *sighs* I need faster fingers, or a brain more skilled at the multi-tasking, or something. Too many words, too few hours in the day. And not enough self-discipline in the brain. Silly brain.
Can't even focus on a decent story by someone else, so I have a giant pile of library books I mostly haven't read, that are due back soon, even after being renewed. That hasn't happened to me in years.
I started writing a movie review, as we went to the drive-in a couple weeks back for a triple feature, but I didn't get very far. I found myself boring, which inclined me to the suspicion that anyone reading it would also find it boring, so I deleted it all. In short, however, The Spy Next Door is entertaining if you have kids who like the kung-fu, Clash of the Titans seemed ok, but I fell asleep, as the wide-screen-lens they used hurt my eyes so I couldn't focus, (the husband enjoyed it though), and It's Complicated was actually ridiculously entertaining, though I spent a huge chunk of the movie wanting to smack Alec Baldwin's character. The periodic stupidity was all reasonable, character-based idiocy, however, and thus helped rather than hindered the movie. And seriously, Steve Martin and Meryl Streep at her character's daughter's party? LMAO funny. Don't want to spoil it, though I think some of it was in the previews.
I really enjoy the triple feature at the drive-in, cause the third movie is frequently some comedy/drama thing we probably wouldn't have ever gotten around to renting on our own that turns out to be pretty good. Leatherheads was one of those a year or so back, whenever it was it came out.
And in gaming... nothing to report. Had a Sidori Gambit session last Monday which was quite good, and my poor scoundrel is horribly disturbed by Impie political machinations, but I can't think of anything in particular to say about it besides the fact that I hope this week goes really well too. ^_~ And I haven't played much of the VG's for some reason... just haven't been able to focus on any one thing for more than about five minutes lately, which makes books and video games less than thrilling. bleargh. I am uneventful.
