lookingland

i'm off to kenosha to visit my sister tomorrow (looking forward to romping around chicago ~ going to the field museum on saturday, etc. ~ geeky yayness!)

i really very randomly want this from eBay. the price is awfully steep though. but it's not exactly something i could easily find somewhere else. (i know, i'm not supposed to be on eBay in the first place).

sigh.

i haven't done any writing these last couple of days. mostly just shuffling papers around and trying to reorganize ~ and fretting about the hantybooks, which don't look to be coming any time soon (and on which, i suddenly realize, much depends).

anybody on my flist live in pennsylvania?

wanna run an errand for me at gettysburg college? hahahaha ~

i was looking forward to the wednesday

writers_five questions hoping they would kick some ideas loose, but i laughed this morning when i saw the first one: "does your character like the government?"

hmmm ~ which government? yes and no. when you're writing something about the government, trying to answer a question like that can get awfully complicated. so i just gave up.

question number two was about "first love", which is irrelevant to this story. question number three was about "something your character is scared to do". also seems immaterial given the forced nature of the circumstances. none of them want to be doing what they're doing, but they have to, so there you have it. dunno that any of them are actually fearful and i don't feel inclined to invent things they might be fearful of.

question number four (in two parts) was "what's the most hurtful thing the character has ever knowingly done to someone? and "do they regret it now?" i can answer that one for the Chammy because i actually have documentation on that matter. dunno about the rest of the cast.

finally: "what is your character's theme song?" ~ eh, no.

anyway, that's about all i have energy for tonight.

i'll try to check in over the long weekend, but i kinda doubt it.

'til tuesday!
