I am the geekiest geek who ever did geek, and I am going to order this. *clutches heart* Furthermore, I now have to learn how to make the really good little animated icons so I can do an animation of the last few seconds of that. *clutches heart more* I am also the slowest writer who ever did write. I’ve only got one or two chapters left (two would make it…smoother, I think, but one seems more likely), but I’m not sure I’ll write tomorrow, because I’m getting increasingly slow.…
random weight loss thought
and I were just discussing the fact that arghing at each other online about the difficulties of weight loss did seem to help keep us on track a little. I, at least, have periodically joined LJ communities and the like where a bunch of geek sorts are trying to lose weight and trying to find encouragement, and they don’t (for the crowd I hang with, anyway) seem to last very long. I wonder if a weekly online scheduled chat session might work better. Format probably wouldn’t matter so much, be…
plod plod plod
I have discovered a new way to make writing less onerous. If one closes one’s eyes while one types, one becomes less concerned about the page count because one can’t see it.

*all* the tv
Amazon hath delivered unto us its temptations, and now we have *all* the TV to watch. And I haven’t even finished re-watching season 4 Doctor Who! Ok, I have not pushed myself as hard in the writing as I might have done. I finished a chapter and have started another, but I had to stop to find out what Pinocchio’s father’s name was (I knew it wasn’t Gestapo) and now I think I’m going to actually go ahead and finish the AAs and possibly go so far as to start…
someday the ‘to do’ list will say ‘relax for six months’
thinks to do today: – pilates – write. ideally, write 2 chapters 1.something will do – finish AAs (but who are we kidding, this will be done after Truthseeker’s done, it looks like) – color notes – go for a walk *stares at that list* I feel like I’m missing something important on that.
