*Yawn*

Yay for the upcoming weekend. More movie time -- if all goes well, we're seeing POTC III on Father's Day.
-M: Arrr, me hearties, t'will be a jolly good time.-
*rolls eyes*
-OD: Well, I saw you editing "The Gift and the Curse," I suppose that's something.-
I know -- part of it is my usual love of procrastination, part of it is having my equalibrium thrown off. I'm looking into pounding out Chapter 7 of "V.D." into its final form before bed, though.
-VD: *pokes* Yes, get on with it!-
I also started my short story for the backtothefanfic challenge. Got a page, along with describing what I think might the worst fictional clock in existence.
-VD2: O.o?-
Here, let me describe it:
Well, there's the cheesiest of all cheesy clocks. Two lovers kissing in the center, while Cupids on the hands circle them, bows at the ready. With a lurid pink heart frame, no less.
-VD2: *pictures it, horrified* That's -- that's --
-HD: *also picturing it, wincing* An affront to clockdom?-
-VD2: Yes!-
Precisely why I created it.
-VD2: You're horrible.-
-HD: Suppose it's better than "American McGee's Marty," though.-
Yeah, I haven't had those thoughts for a while now.
-DW: *growling* The move to "Silent Hill Valley" isn't an improvement!-
-HD: What, is that Hill Valley populated by mimes?-
-OD: *tentacles do the glass box routine* That's vaguely disturbing in and of itself.-
-DW: No, it's a survival horror video game about a town populated by monsters that exists on two dimensions -- reality, in which it's fairly normal except for a few wandering monsters, and the Otherworld, where it's apparently A FORM OF HELL.-
-HD: . . .-
-MF: What's worse is it's a MULTIPLE ENDING game, so instead of just the "yay happy" ending that "American McGee's Marty" got, she can design a bad ending too! Will you WARN us, Victoria?!-
Don't blame me, blame TV Tropes.
-M: *sighs deeply* Who got the shaft, me or Doc?-
-MF: Us, though Doc didn't come off much better -- her idea is kind of based on the second game. You just had to wiki it. . . .-
Wikis are fun!
-DW: For a horror game?-
*shrug* Look, guys, I like doing this!
-HD: . . . How do you expect to sleep at night?!-
I -- *pause* Crap.
-DW: *smug* Ahhh, yes, your overactive imagination DOES tend to bite you in the behind in these situations.-
Only in the dark -- I'll turn my little bedside lamp up brighter. And keep a book on hand.
-D: I still remember when your book of choice for "I've freaked myself out and can't sleep -- guess I'll read" was the Terminator 2 script book.
-TD: . . . Reading about killer robots calmed her down? That's it, you guys can't call me crazy anymore.-
Frankly, I don't know why it worked either. Austin crush, maybe?
Aaanyway, let's have a Sims update before fiddling and bed.
( No Horror Here )

I'm off to fiddle, then it's off to bed.
-VD2: Shall we start betting when she'll actually fall asleep?-
Hey, I'm currently reading a Dave Barry book! That has to count for something.
-HD: After this, I'm surprised you can write humor at all.-
That's what you get for appointing yourself a muse. :p
-HD: I believe I shall pour tea into your baseball caps!-
Ack! I'm sorry!
