Good morning cantinas :Sun:

I have yet to look at the news, so the rest of the country may have sunk overnight given the amount of rain we had here and I wouldn't know.

Up late this morning, the cat alarm clock failed to go off at it's normal time.

Do you suppose Fen is camping out for her new horse?

Today may involve words and possibly a Writer's Digest subscription.

Where's the coffee?

Fenika · Jun 23, 2012

I'm still in bed but not for long.

Pthom, loosen up and actually chat with us oh crazy overlord. You know we only bite sometimes. :e2teeth:

We could always play dodgesmibble to lighten the mood.

aliwood · Jun 23, 2012

Ooo, dodgesmibble. Sounds interesting. What are the rules?

Writers Digest may be eating my bank account next week. The money I could spend...

Fen, can we expet updates? Pics? Or will you just be out there staring at it for a while? Er, does it have a name?

CobraMisfit · Jun 23, 2012

Happy Horse Day, Fen!!!!

(today is the day, right?)

BigWords · Jun 23, 2012

Pics of the horse are required.

I know someone has probably asked this at some point, but is there a definitive list of all SF / fantasy / horror conventions somewhere? Something that includes the comics, computer gaming and television conventions as well as the more general stuff? *does pleading face*

Good morning friends!

My body refuses to do a full 8 hours of sleep. It wakes me up 4 hours in and then won't let me return to sleep for another few hours. Totally sucks.

And I am so there for dodgesmibble.

*sniff sniff* I smell an ATCT somewhere in there.

That's all the more time you can be writing.

But I love to sleep! I need to sleep! If I don't sleep I become Grumpy Mommy Bear and no one wants that.

Can I ask if anyone knows of a charity i could support please? Yes, I know there are millions. Here's what I'm looking for:

something literacy based - writing or reading - and they need to take PayPal donations

I don't mind where, Honolulu, Harlem, Hounslow or Harari is fine.

Shower me with suggestions please.

So get your own back in the writing, take out the grumpy on your characters. Isn't that what they're for? *Consults instruction manual*

*collapses into the cantina*

So. Had a three hour shift today.

I'm getting home now. 9 hours after said shift started. How did a little work on saturday turn into a 9 hour shift?

I'm so tired that I can't actually sleep. And I may have eaten enough food for two people when I fell into the kitchen.

That is only a bad thing depending on what type of food was eaten.

_Sian_ · Jun 23, 2012

I believe there was left over chips, of the fish and chip variety, tuna Morney, custard trifle, and maybe a second serving of the tuna.

I'm still thinking about going back. Still hungry.

BigWords · Jun 23, 2012

I'm reminded of the scene from Doctor Who when The Master came back to life...

aliwood · Jun 23, 2012

I have chips, feel free to join me.

_Sian_ · Jun 23, 2012

*steals Ali's chips*

And BigWords - make me smile, you do

Okay. I think I've eaten enough that my body can actually contemplate sleep. Night all

BigWords · Jun 23, 2012

I'm not gonna go back and add to any of the threads about the sexist treatment of women in media, as I'll probably bring more derails to them (and I've been told off enough in the past few weeks, thanks), but this article struck me as something that would go over well here.

I have a glass of wine and a synopsis to edit. This is either brilliant or very, very unwise. I'll figure that part out tomorrow.

I'm buying a bottle of wine for tonight. I have no intention of being sober after the kids go to bed. Color me angry, frustrated and lonely.

But, but, but...I had enough to share

So.....

Watching Spongebob with Little Kricket and I think I'm missing the point or something. I just don't get it.

And yes this is my first time really seeing it. Lack of cable when I was growing up has deprived me of some great TV apparently. *rolls eyes*

So who's doing some Butt in Chair time today?

Checks Butt.

Checks Chair.

Apparently my Butt is in a chair, so does writing here count?

Some days, absolutely yes.

My butt is on a couch and I'm writing in a notebook so it counts.

Careful with the Spongebob. A study came out a few months ago stating that the show actually makes toddlers dumber.

Oldest went through a phase with that show. I pushed past it as fast as I could.

I'm going to get a cup of coffee now.

Go Kricket.

I am actually just finishing lunch so I have been listening to Stephen King - I managed all of my lunch this time.

I have got to a point in my SFF challange where it's just a heap of a tangled mess. I know it won't sort itself out if I dn't go work on it, but right now this minute I am doing my best avoidance technique.

tjwriter · Jun 23, 2012

Off to drop off recycling and get some grocery items. With all three kids in tow.

Wish me luck!!
