  • For a lot of hardwork done over the summer, big bossman gave me and my co-worker $150.00 in gift certificates at Canadian Tire.  Instead of buying something practical I actually splurged and bought myself a digital camera.  I likes my new toy, though the cats do not.  Pictures to come ;)
  • I'm really craving sushi right now.  Lots of sushi.  With enough wasabi to clear out my sinuses.  Oooo and a spicy shrimp roll.  *okay am stopping now because this is very cruel to my appetite*
  • Neville is proving to be quite difficult to write at the moment - damn his conscience.  I wish he'd be a good little wizard and enjoy the smut that I am writing him in.
  • Completed map of Hogsmeade for [info]darkesthour_rpg and found an excellent source for Diagon Alley, Godric's Hollow and Ottery St. Catchpoole.  It's a good thing I love making maps.  Other details are coming along quite nicely - hopefully can start sending out notices by the end of October.
  • I am really enjoying all of these "20 Random Facts of..." that are popping up all over the place.  I'm very fond of character exploration and wonder if I should do one...
  • My Ravenclaw circa film 3 scarf is progressing rather fast.  Wish I had circular knitting needles but hindsight is 20/20.  Will most likely fold it in half and stitch it.  I'm pretty sure it will still be wide enough for practical use.  I need to get more yarn to complete my Gryffindor afghan.
  • The husband and I have been catching Spaced on the Showcase channel on Sunday nights.  I am really, really starting to have a crush on Simon Pegg I think.  Plus, Nick Frost in a pink spandex top and porn 'stach is...interesting.

    Writing

    The problem I've always had with writing fic is actually completing it.  I get so far and then I stagnate and I don't know if it's because I get bored, or it's because inevitably there's always 2 more plot bunnies that come hopping by and distract me from my original task.

    I've got a Draco fic in the works and so far I've got 1969 words and it's only gotten to the PG rating at the most.  As it is, I don't know how I should continue it - or rather, I DO know where I want it to continue but not sure if I'm on the right track...

    *grumbles*

    I never have this problem in my RPGs - normally you can't shut me up.

    ETA: I just finished ordering Season 1 of Supernatural, which was 67% off at Amazon.com as well as a copy of Hot Fuzz. I love Simon Pegg. I want to put him in my pocket :D
