Morning, all! I'm going to finish this first draft today if it kills me. Which, hopefully it won't because I have another few drafts to go.
![]() Awesome. I <3 them, especially this one. Quote:
!!!Hope you feel better soon, that sounds terrible.

I feel kind of meh today. I'm trying not to, I think that may be making it worse.
And there's a free lecture on by a writer tomorrow at the university and at least 75% of me is saying "You should go, you might learn something" and the rest and more vocal part is going 'meh' ![]() Please, PLEASE, can I swap brains with someone? ETA: Should Blackberries be known as Bradbury's as all they seem to produce is science fiction?

There's... Paris Syndrome? I forget exactly what it is named, but people sometimes go mad upon seeing the city for the first time, and it can spread through an entire tour bus in minutes.

Mine is a scrambled mess, and stuck on auto-repeat. You really are getting the bad half of the deal.

The vein on my forehead is going to explode in a torrent of blood if I have to explain the difference between kilts and skirts again... It'll turn the Cantina into a scene from Evil Dead.

I have spent the last week with a low grade hangover. Problem is, I haven't been drinking.
My first thought is to blame the new glasses. But it started before I got the new glasses, so that's right out. and I don't really have allergies, so I can't really blame that. sigh.

Ick, poor Junely.
I'm all high on pain medication. It helps me feel functional.

Yes, I know.
But I have the pics. So they get used.

BTW, she-who-must-not-be-named is working at the moment, and apparently ignoring the gazillion DM's I've sent her on Twitter, my emails, and every other attempt to distract her...
