Awwww, man. I really want to watch Peyton Place on TCM tonight, but I'm so close to locking down the rest of Titanic that I probably shouldn't take my mind elsewhere.

It was crazy--I was up until three am last night writing, not just futzing around but actually pounding it out, and then I was up at eight this morning writing connective tissue. It was weird--I finally had one of those mornings where I could say, "This needs to be written, so now I will write it," and I would just fill in the gaps. Of course, it's still overdue as all hell, but... there you go.

We're up to 39 pages. It'll definitely be 40, maybe more, by the time it's done. That's about twice as long as usual, although I'm sure "Rose!" "Jack!" "Rose!" "Jack!" takes up a good bit of that space. I was a zombie in class--not because I was tired, but because Uncle Tom's Cabin was completely crowded out by all the Titanic miscellany.

My head hurts. I'm hungry. Where's dinner? I want cake.*

There's a list in my memories section--I can't remember if "Lost" or "TV" is the most updated, but it's one of those. I can't get to them right now--LJ says the feature's unavailable--but you can eventually get to memories through my user info page. : )

(Thanks!)

Voila! (http://www.cafepress.com/losttees.17643831)

But seriously, you could get anything and you just want a button? I think I've received more from your recaps than that!

If someone's willing to pay for a warming box AND postage for two pounds of brownies sent overnight express to Sweden, all in exchange for finding me pictures of a shirtless Will Shockley on the Internet . . . that is a person who really, really wants some brownies.

NO CAKE FOR YOU NEXT.

...connective tissue?

Clearly I am not up on all the writer phrases.

I am a Kate fan too...why do so many people not like her?

Hey, t-shirts wear out. Buttons are forever. : )

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Ooh, she's writing tendons!

[sydelbow.livejournal.com]

Nobody needs to see this man without his shirt.



Also, MAN I WANT BROWNIES NOW. :(

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yum!

Oh, that's just an expression of mine, I guess--I write out of order, pretty much. I just write whichever part comes to me whenever. Thus, I end up needing to write connective bits to string them all together--like how people got from point A to point B and all that.

My dad and sister once got drunk on my Mom's birthday and shipped a piece of cake from Germany to California. The odd thing was that it took only three days to get here and, while smashed a bit, wasn't even all that stale.

It's just that one really doesn't associate Prince and Titanic. It's not like I watch a tragic movie and think "Purple Rain".

However, whatever makes you write, I am cool with.

Next thing you know, you'll have paparazzi hiding in your bushes claiming you were the Other Woman in Brad and Jen's breakup.

We had a birthday cake last night...wish I'da saved you some, I coulda mailed it and you'd have gotten it in the condition that Harry's cake was in when Hagrid carried it in his coat pocket.

I wouldn't really send cake in the mail.

And while we're throwing out compliments, I sent your Phantom in 15 Minutes via link to a friend, and she said it was one of the funniest things she's read in a long time.

[duncanatrix.livejournal.com]

OH! And I meant to ask: is this Wednesday new Lost?

Re: Not Cake.

[kira002.livejournal.com]

Okay, check your LJ email then.

BTW, so far Sawyer and Charlie are neck-and-neck for bestseller status.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awww, that's great! Tell her I said hi. : )

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I believe so, yes.

[brenah.livejournal.com]

Yes, this Wed is a new Lost, and Alias if ya follow that show. :)

I really need my Lost fix....2...more...days...

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

It makes sense now, it does!

Plus it sounds technical and impressive. ;)

[andromeda-77.livejournal.com]

I doubt any of my friends would even have a clue what Peyton Place is. You rock! ;)
Oh hey - did you get any comments about your new glasses? (forgive me if you've posted this already. I'm working backward through my flist as we speak)

Heh. Your standard disclaimers will make tasty snark[1] for the FAQ.

[1] Some notes on snark. You pursue the snark for three days on the hump of a Bactrian camel (either hump will suffice) until, on the dawn of the final day, during the solar eclipse, in the moment that the moon first occludes the sun, you pounce. You must have at the ready your snarksickle stick, a sort of medieval lance originally intended to allow twelfth century pages to retain their machisimo while transporting blocks of ice to the kitchen. The ice blocks were speared sur le bout of the snarksicle stick, and it is in like manner that you will pierce the snark. The custom is to roast the snark on its stick, as with a spit. The best kitchens will be equipped with spizzisnarks, the special spits that imbue the snark with the remarkable attribute connoisseurs call zang. A snark with true zang, it is said, while so tender that it can be licked up directly, has a sharp (almost painful) piquancy and bite unmatched by any other turquoise food.

Awww man... now I need to clean the cake out of my floppy drive.
