\o/ Happy birthday to you, Bethany! If I manage to round up my writes, I'll get something done for you. If not, know that my thoughts and love and good wishes are with you anyway! <3

Current Mood: sleepy

So, my mail today was - I had almost forgotten I'd ordered it - the Storm Front graphic novel. Which I leafed through right in the post office and then grinned for a while because, apparently, it was made worthy for me just for the picture of Karrin Murphy facepalming. I'm so scanning that and turning it into an icon. Or asking somebody else to. :-P

Also, I finally decided to just go out and give myself a treat for completing NaNo. The result is one hat and three pairs of gloves/mittens. One of which (black simple mittens) I'm even wearing right now. I guess I'm humoring one muse, because I'm furious about another. Or something like that.

Also, my attention span/ability today is ridiculously shot to the ground.

Oy.

Here, have dwaggins.

Current Mood: sleepy

... yeah, for those who, like me, have been squinting suspiciously at the Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody and delaying playing it until it trips them up?

Watch it. It sure brightens things up!

Also, TGIFF.

<3

Current Mood: tired

For a bit o' crack: here.

Also, ugh, so tired. I can't really cook up the will to want things.

This, too, shall pass.

Also, happy Thanksgiving day to alllll my friends over there. Have a good family/turkey/what-have-you day. And, yes, I'm very, very thankful for my friends. Always.

Also, totally did not need loud muses moving in right now. Not that I'm not enjoying them, but damn, I have work enough to do. Still, I'm almost at 45K with NaNo, and will likely break 50K tomorrow night at some point. Pretty much on time. Will probably take 3-4K more to finish the outline, and I will, too, because I really really want to write those last two chapters/pieces.

Current Mood: tired

And Kiki is done with the translation of the text only of the monster! That still leaves setting up the graphics and tables, but! \o\ /o/

Now to finish the rest of the work for the day...

Current Mood: accomplished

But this sentence from my current translation had me laughing out loud in the office:

Countries such as X, where waiting times [for specific treatments/surgeries] tend to vary in the 2 – 3 weeks range, have never felt the urge to produce waiting time data, for principally the same type of reason that Madrid has less snow-ploughs than Helsinki.

HAH.

Current Mood: amused

Oh, fuck this week.

People, come on. Think a little more before doing shit.

Current Mood: pissed off

I have officially reached 2/3rds of the translation of doom - and today is the seventh day. (I said I'd do it in two weeks; hopefully, I'll manage the text translation in three more days, and have a few days to make it pretty and do the graphs and tables. Whee!) Still ahead with the word count (though need to do today's) for NaNo (18 007 now, and the next chapter outlined to manageable chunks, will start when I get home... or maybe after nap).

Ahem. That's the state of the Kiki. More or less. Oh, and I have been catching up with work-work, too. Whee.

Current Mood: sleepy

This made me laugh so hard that it scared my cat.

kikibug13: I like this song probably more than I should.
kittydesade: Oh? Why do you say you like it more than you should, though? :)
kikibug13: because it's morbid?
kittydesade: Eh
Morbid is cool
Several million goths can't all be wrong

Yeah, I've got nothin'. Maybe NaNo's eating my brain to be this amused, but... *still laughing*

Current Mood: giggly

Non-spoilery, but there might be spoilers about the latest episode of Supernatural in the comments.

I, apparently, find some things and situations way less funny than most people. (And find some way more, as anyone who's watched a movie or a play with me has remarked, after the fourth of fifth time my laughter rings out in the quiet auditorium.)

However, watching somebody pick on a particularly bad performance that I have watched about 30 seconds of altogether (... maybe a minute? Tops?) and doing it well enough that I can recognize it? Totally can crack me up. And lift my mood. Whee!

Current Mood: weird

Yeah, my daily tarot thing has been freakily applicable for days now again, and even more so, today. Is that a sign that I'm going a bit nuts, or that I'm channeling my NaNo muse a bit too much? :-P (Yes, I know that is somewhat nuts, too. >.> )

Right. Translation. Interspersed with catching up with shows from last night. Whee!

Current Mood: sleepy

Finally caught up with the Mentalist. Still love Jane. To bits. The dratsab.

I'd post to sws about just how irked I am with the so called Disney crack... and I realise that if I do, I'd get tagged by each and every single mun playing that. Um. Yeah, no.

Need to write. It was going well last night, not so, or at all, right now. Boo.

Still doing reasonably with both keeping up with stuff, and eating and sleeping. Even though what I really want to do just now is curl with the book until I finish it and/or drift off...

Current Mood: frustrated

So... if I am MIA, slow on tags, snappy, or something like that? It's not you, chances are that it's me. And it's not even NaNo's fault, well, not on its own - I just got dumped a 67-page somewhat specialized lingo translation (En-Bg) to do. Plus things picked up at work a bit.

I will attempt to organise myself and be adequate (and that does mean food and sleep, yes), but for a few days at least, until I hit my stride (or up to two weeks, until I finish the translation), no guarantees.

Oh well. Have dragons.

Current Mood: irritated

... because I'm a dork.

( And still nice to your friends pages )

Current Mood: crappy (but still amused)

He twittered a bit earlier: This gave me a happy. :) http://bit.ly/EGcBc

Current Mood: dorky

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and I could say, "I used everything that you gave me."

In other news, I'm in love with Tanya Huff's writing and, in particular, the Blood books. (Yes, I watched the Blood Ties series. Love that. Now on to the books, and I'm really enjoying them. A lot.)

In yet other news, still sick-ish. Do not want.

In other news, DST is over here. That's fair warning to you guys overseas, if my hours seem a bit more skewed than usual to you, that's why.

In other news, yes, I'm doing NaNo again this year. Now that the fic of doom is done with, I'll be back to working on outline and characters there. Whee. I mean, be warned, insanity is coming to you. Again.

Current Mood: sleepy

... Really, subconscious? Zombies Croats? Really?

Also *headdesks* Jag? Couldn't resist. How much doom does that idea spell?

Also, I'll be travelling tomorrow morning. YAY.

Current Mood: cranky

Give me one or more of my characters and one minor character in their lives (i.e. their mother, their father, their first crush, their crazy neighbor lady, etc. etc.), and I'll tell you 5 facts AND who I'd use as a PB for said minor character.
