Hi all! Been a few days since I've been on here. Gorgeous day here as well. Like almost 70 and the sun is a shining. Got to admit I haven't been writing as much because I sat outside and had and ice cream

Oh crap. I completely forgot to give this character a last name. Didn't think I'd need one until this line of dialogue: "Mr. Whittaker, if you want to continue this conversation, then Miss ____ will have to wait outside."

Ice cream is good. Sometimes, it is needed. The real question is what kind of ice cream was it?

Midnight writing hurts when one gets up not long after. Hell, midnight writing hurts getting up at 6.

30 minutes is 30 minutes.
I can't believe how nice is it outside. I cleaned out my car, vaccumed it and cleaned the windows on the inside. Now it's time for laundry. |

Heya Bos, how's things?
I'm just heading out to do laundry because I love it that much. But at least I'll have that time to read. Current reading: Tom Piccirilli -- Thrust. |

Evening hounds.
I'm watching American Idol. Kill me now. |

Why?
Clearly you're committing the slowest, most painful form of seppuku known to man already.

Turn. The. Set. Off. Abby.
Studying the mating habits of pill bugs would be less... more... Well, it'd be different. |

Actually, the mating habits of pill bugs are... Never mind.
But they are kinda' interesting. Not so much different from other crustaceans, actually. They have a lot in common with Harvestmen and a few other species. Water dependency is a vital issue in land-dwelling Arthropoda of that size. Okay, I'll stop. But it's still more interesting than American Idol. |

Sorry. I'm not helping either.I usually open the phone book in situations like this. Then select randomly. (sometimes I cheat though and throw the name back and choose again if I don't like the first one I land on)

Why would anybody want to watch such garbage?
Turn the tv off and slowly walk away, Abby...seriously. |

I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode of American Idol.
Maybe a clip here or there.

I watched it when I was in China, because yes, I was that desperate for American television.

Nothing wrong with the cemetery.
I've taken a few ideas - and a few name - from there myself.

It was like the third season, when it wasn't quite so bad.
Besides, watching Simon snark was fun. For a bit, anyway.

You know what I used to really love to do? Gravestone rubbings. You know, where you put paper down over a headstone and rub charcoal or chalk or even crayons.
I have some really pretty ones from this old cemetery from the area the show Twin Peaks took place in. |
