Hooray for second chances

I was given a second chance at syfybigbang to get my story in for this round. Hooray! The problems are two fold... 1)I stopped writing the first story I had going when I realized I'd missed the deadline and 2)I didn't like that story much. It wasn't working and there was no plot to carry along the poor original idea. Maybe I'll flesh it out later.

So I'm back to work trying to come up with something before the deadline. I doubt very much that I'll be getting in a rough draft (at least 8k I believe) tomorrow which means that I won't get art but at least I won't be a BIG BANG LOSER coming into the new year. Right now I have just about 1000 words. Not bad for a late night scramble.

I HATE MY PARENTS' INTERNET. Hate it! The only reason I'm home tonight (or any of this weekend) is that my sister is home and wants to have a Qwirkle/Blokus tournament with the next door neighbor. I'm all for that, even though I should be writing and had intended to write, because I LOVe those two games. Talk about a brain exercise with pretty colors! I'm a sucker for a tournament from all the way back to when my family used to play the UNO championships of China (we came up with different countries but that one always stuck because it sounded... exotic? strategic? beginning letters are the same?) when I was younger. We're a big game family which is probably why our Wii gets a workout.

So back to the internet. I've been trying to get on Facebook but having a time of it and I'm about ready to throw something and it will probably be the keyboard of the downstairs computer or my whole netbook upstairs. Something is going to get thrown and then I'm going to be PISSED. It's not cloudy out. The lights are all blinking. Why won't you work? I get kicked FOUR TIMES from a conversation with Aster tonight and it's frustrating when I'm trying to get something figured out in spurts. Grrrrr... Plus I still have a headache. Maybe I should go to bed. Or finish my book. Oh, man! I need to finish my book! It's getting to the really good part but I keep putting it down in favor of silly things... like work! And sleep! How silly!
