Tense With No Reason Day
Jul. 2nd, 2014 09:24 pmI think what happened is that I really want it to be the weekend already (even if we are supposed to get thunderstorms of doom) and thus school feels like a prison -- especially when I have a bunch of RP replies and suchlike to do in my free time. Caught up now, at least, except for one message that I may or may not complete this evening. We'll have to see what happens. (Person has been duly warned reply may be delayed.)
I'm actually doing the housesitting thing right now -- surprise night out on the owner's part means surprise night in for me here. Been pretty quiet, at least. Last thing I wanted today was an emergency situation. Not when I'm feeling a bit twitchy, kthanx.
Things of note today:
-->My morning RIpta bus? Got in early. I'm serious -- somehow, we managed to get in a full ten minutes before I had to get my other bus. I was in absolute shock. And very worried this meant I'd have to deal with a really late afternoon bus. Fortunately, this was not the case -- though we got the weird little trolley bus again, and there were periods of worrying beeping on the way home. (I've come to associate beeping with bus breakdowns -- happily, nothing of the sort happened on that ride).
-->Weyr Wednesday happened, so we have lots and lots of pictures of dragons. Current and Firework, Pearl and Jade egg, Jade and Sulfur egg. The Jade is named Tai, after Jason Tai, lead composer on A:MR -- there's a track called Jade in the soundtrack, sooo. . . I also hatched a Nightshade, which I have named Solanace after the scientific name for the nightshade family of plants, Solanaceae (whole thing wouldn't fit). Current attempts are Wisp and Ruby, though I gotta wait for the Rainbow/Gold to enter the nursery before I can try again for the latter.
-->Got in one Hearthstone win after my shower today -- Valeera (Rogue) win against THE SLOWEST MALFURION (DRUID) EVER. I swear, there wasn't a turn that my opponent didn't let go to the fuse (the hurry-it-up alert when your time's about to run out). I dunno if they had lag or were just not paying attention, but damn it was annoying. Felt good to kick their ass. And fulfilled two quests while I was at it.
-->Finished up Chapter 9 in "In the Land of the Dead" and started Chapter 10 -- which is the Bumby-centric chapter. I've actually got some good chunks of this written already, but it'll be nice to link it all together. Then I can start proper editing and maybe get that up sometime this century so I can move onto "Remembering You."
And now I should get back to answering tags and at least starting to draft a reply to that one message. . . G'night, sleep tight!
