1. Gave up on DW for GH and X-men fandom -- so found it on FB and Twitter.

I should rejoin Tumblr and try there -- but I originally did, and well -- I don't understand Tumblr, it seems designed by an insane magazine editor.

Been having discussions about the Un-Canny comics in FB with the "Proud to be a Cyclops Fan" group. One of them appears to be a train guy on Long Island, and may work for the Rail Road, what are the odds?

We're dissecting why the Matthew Rosenberg Un-Canny reboot of the series didn't work. ( Character deaths should always be earned )

As you probably have figured out by now? I love dissecting what works and what doesn't in a story for me, and what I would do differently. It helps me write and plot my own stories. And determine what stories or types of stories work for me and why.


2. So, romance novel that I'm reading? This is a Regency Romance, during the 1700s.
The Duke has made out with the heroine (country girl he's sponsoring) in the carriage. After wards, she gets upset and rushes out, because they can't be together and she's discombobulated, because she thought she loved his brother...so flees into his sister's house where she's been staying. Sis and heroine have a tete-a-tete, and the Duke's sister, not knowing that Miranda (girl next door) who is her bestie, has been making out with the Duke and that's the guy who has her all flustered -- tells her to go tell this guy how much she likes him. Put pride aside and let him know, the sooner the better.

So...what happens? Does our heroine wait until the next day or their next scheduled outting to tell him? No. ( Read more... )

3. Work


ME: Please revise the technical scope of work with the changes we discussed, and send it to the contractor requesting a cost proposal.
Project Manager emails Contractor: Please revise the technical scope of work for this project with the changes we discussed.
ME: Uh, why would you ask the contractor to revise your technical scope of work? No, no, no, you were supposed to revise it, send it to the contractor and then ask them for the cost proposal.


Sigh. This has been my week. But hey at least I found the file I misplaced, in a drawer that I looked for it in fifteen times..

I'm so glad this week is over and I'm going away on vacation next week. Now, if I can just find a way to do laundry before that happens. Targeting Sat. Was supposed to do something with Wales on Sat, but she hasn't contacted me and I don't care, I need to do laundry...which brings up..

4. Laundry

Cartoon from Little Niddles on FB, which I can't repost here...so you'll have to deal with the dialogue.

A: What is the one thing that stands between you and all your dreams.
B: Laundry.
A (smacking hand against his head): Yourself, the answer is obviously you.
B:I'm pretty sure it's laundry.

So true.

But hey, I did return the swimsuit that I bought on Amazon and did not fit via UPS Store (heck of a lot easier than expected), picked up contacts, went to bank, and got treats I did not need from patisseri...which while gluten-free were hardly sugar free.

Oh well, didn't get alcohol. Progress.
