Ugh

No internet for three days = no way for me to feasibly catch up on what/how you're all doing. So I throw it open to you:

How are you all? What have you been up to?

I can tell what I've been up to: hanging with Pip watching 80s movies and spending too much money (I should never go shopping with Pip, she's just a bad influence). Yesterday my parents and I attacked the back garden and it is now tamed and safe. I can get to the shed without the aid of a machete and a tent, which is nice. Except I never have any reason to go to the shed. I also spring-cleaned the house on Saturday, so everything is shiny and lemony-fresh.

I haven't much writing yet this weekend. That's what this afternoon is for - finishing the draft of Moths. It currently looks like this:

 

5322 / 7000 words. 76% done!

I keep underestimating how long it's going to be (originally I planned about 5k), but since the word limit is 10k, I don't think I'm in danger of going over. After that I might get cracking on Silver Kiss, which has been burning me up ever since a certain housemate texted me the magic words "werewolf fight club" on Friday night.

Heigh-ho, I can has plague! Again! The first time in a week, I felt okay and went shopping and then the very next day it hit and then I spent most of the weekend in bed watching horror movies, but last night I dragged my butt out to an accoustic pub gig for Jeff Martin (ex Tea Party frontman) and I think my plague has been awesomed away. Mostly. I got to hug Jeff. He did not smell like a sweaty, possibly boozed, rock dude. And then I stayed up all night and read part three of an epic bandom AU, only to go to bed and be woken up by my neighbour who wanted to see if a pair of sunglasses on the fence belonged to me. But I have dinosaur-shaped sprinkles for the muffins I fully intend to bake.

And I'm pretty sure the desktop PC is frelled, and I don't know how to fix it. Thank goodness that the vast majority of my shit is on the external drive and my laptop. All that's stuck on the desktop is a torrent I was trying to finish. I need to take out all the plugs and put them back and see what happens before I wander down to the PC store and be all "um, halp."

My life, so exciting.

My boobs are falling off, thankyou for asking.

Otherwise things are OK, though. Eating a lot of stir-fried pork this week, for some reason...
