Imma lump

[lar_laughs]

When I tried to recount my previous evening today, I was unable to. I remembered that I had played several rounds of Mahjong. I cleaned out my tinypics folder and made a banner. I washed the dishes (I KNOW! It's like I'm diseased!) and did a load of laundry. I didn't write, though. I didn't read. I watched TV (at least five episodes of Farscape). What a lump!

Okay, so I need to finish at least one story tonight so that I can say that I've accomplished something this week! I've been writing Bitter Girl at my lunchtime but nothing else.

Hooray, hooray! I get to work tomorrow. It's the weekend that starts Spring Break so I really doubt we're horribly busy. Well, as busy as Saturday's get. Bet you a dollar and a half that it's mostly cough syrup. Everybody needs their cough syrup. And their potassium iodide... idiots.

I'm watching Revenging Angel Season 3, Episode 16... and all I can say is CRICHTON IN A PLAID SHIRT AND JEANS. Yum. Okay, Crichton in ANYTHING is good.

Pilot: I don't get out much... so I read.

Yeah, buddy. I hear you.

I've decided to quit going through SG-1 episode by episode and just jump to season 9. Or maybe season 8. I just want more Ben Browder. And a fair bit more of Claudia Black wouldn't be such a bad thing, either.

Not gong to lie, this makes me sad. :( But if your going to jump don;t watch season 8. It's the worst season the show had.

I'm sure I'll go back and watch it all but it's been slow going and I mostly need to know characterizations right now so I can write the characters (in what I'm sure will be SGA/SG-1 crossovers) and read fic.

Ah that makes sense. :)

Don't mind me. I just see so many people jump ahead and never go back. It makes me sad as I love those seasons.

And so many people dismiss seasons 1-7 and praise season 9 and 10 for the Vala and Cam that it's gotten to the point 9 and 10 have been ruined for me. :/

No, no! I'll go back. I'm just missing out on so much by not knowing everyone! I've read through the wikis as much as I can but it doesn't help me write the characters.

I'm just so far behind!!!! At least watching Farscape has put me a little further ahead on my list of scifi fandoms to understand.

I've been FOUR WEEKS dry of writing. I tried not to count.................. then I called it "recharging". *facepalm* Who knows? But I'm starting to feel a proper creative itch again.

Bitter Girl kind of cracks me up.

My sister likes to remind me that I first loved Ben Browder when he was the "bad" boyfriend on Party Of Five. Ah... Ben. :)

He was on Party of Five? It wasn't a show I really watched.

I suppose this is a recharging time. Writing 20k in one month (that actually begins and ends and has to be a real story) took a lot out of the muse. She is tired. Four weeks? How do you manage to stay sane? *grins*

Four weeks of.........watching movies & playing Sims. The movies actually are half-points to story telling analysis I think. Er... could Sims be character management? LOL.

It was a dark time of the soul. But not an artsy dark time. confusing to non-creative types. I tried to explain it to a friend and only succeeded in making her think I had a second head.

I was a nominal viewer of Party of Five. I loved Ben. And Matthew Fox (not much changes--haha). But there really wasn't a lot of TV back then. One season of Space: Above and Beyond. One season of Brisco County Jr. I guess we had X-Files. And Deep Space Nine. *scratches head*

When you play Sims, do you write out their story in your head? Is that just something I do? I think that's why I get stuck playing that game for HOURS. I actually don't play it anymore. It's like a void! But I do miss it! And I totally think you could call it character management.

I couldn't even tell you what I was watching at that point! Even looking at what was on TV during that point isn't much help. Friends, JAG, Sliders... Golly, how boring my life must have been back then! I think I watched a lot more movies back then than I do now!

The muse is cyclical. She needs time to soak in ideas, throwing out the rif-raf to find the gold, refining it. Do you mean dark as in non-productive? The muse is like the moon. She waxes and wanes and sometimes crazy people make her crazy but she always comes back. Always.

When I read artsy dark time, I totally thought of those "blue periods" that artists go through. *grins* As opposed to "black periods", depending on what color ink you're using during that time.
