Or, on writing and the crazy worlds in my head ( Read more... )

So the guy came today, poked around in the exchange box outside, left for a while and then came back while I was out. Turns out what was broken was the little wall plug I got when replacing everything that got fried by lightning about a year ago. I'm amazed it lasted so long without dying sooner ( Read more... )

So yes, I've been sick (but am getting better). Yesterday, in the middle of gaming, my internet suddenly broke. This was due to a sudden and disruptive fault in the phonelines that knocked out our phones entirely. After some calling around to the phone company and then Telstra who actually own and (supposedly) maintain the lines, they told us that ( Read more... )

So, to be blunt and to the point. I was admited to the ER in Napean Hospital yesterday with fever, nausia, vomiting, severe lower intestinal pain and blood presure at around 100. The immediate fear was apendix, or worse, ohshi- kidneys. A day of blood tests later, they don't think it is that and is likely something viral that wont die. My BP ( Read more... )

I was linked This a little while ago, and it is likely the funniest little spoof I have seen in a long time. As are the build up movies to it. I highly recomend checking the creator's Youtube profile and watching the rest of the A.R.A.C.H.N.I.D. videos ( Read more... )

It seems that it is too much to ask just to be left the hell alone without a once and ( Read more... )

So as I sit here in my post-Nano-failure state, kicking around ideas and generally thinking, old hooks and ideas keep on bubbling to the surface, combining with new and exciting notions as I stir the molten stew that is my thought patterns. Mmm. Tastes like Grey Matter ( Read more... )

Well, I know I am not going to make it this year. Its a given. My heart was never truly in it to start with. But that has been my problem lately, motivation ( Read more... )

So I stumbled headlong into the week two downslide and plumeted straight to the bottom, then I kind of laid there for a few days, stewing. Sometimes you need a little downtime. It has been a while (like a year) since I bothered about a big writing task, and mentally, I don't think I am wholly up to the task of Nano this year ( Read more... )

This week is week 2 of Nano, and I have to ask just where the hell did all that time go anyway ( Read more... )
