Ooh, shiny!

After about a billion false starts, I've managed to get myself a shiny new-looking layout!  Huzzah!

Also, for some reason, I've been working all weekend.  But I'm so close to cleaning up twenty years' worth of data, dangit, and nobody's ever seen this data decoded in this much detail before!  It's gonna be awesome.  And I can always spend Monday and Tuesday graphing.

Fic's coming along extremely well, too.  Now, if only I'd stop falling behind on my beta duties.  *sheepish*  I should have all that done by tonight, though, and I might even get a good section of the FIC OF DOOM done as well.  Hoping to post the first chapter this week.  Fingers crossed, knock wood.

I just sketched a teensy little phone box on my electricity bill.  Then I added a speech bubble that says "VWORP VWORP VWORP".  It looked lonely, so I drew it an anticyclone with an occluded front for company.

I don't think anything sums up my geekiness better than that.

Travel plans?

I'm seriously considering taking a week next February (the one where we don't have classes) to do a little bit of travelling.

I've got a bit of money saved up, and I think I could actually come up with enough to stay at an okay hotel for six nights, wherever it is I might want to go (within reason, of course) and still have spending money left over.  I've also got about a billion air miles saved up, so I might be able to squeak through without airfare, either.

It'd probably have to be somewhere in North America, but I can live with that.

I'm getting all excited and looking at hotels all over the place and whatnot.  Considering the fact that the last place I travelled to 100% solo was Osaka, and I was sixteen at the time, I'm not particularly worried about getting all the accomodations and connected flights sorted by myself. 

I'm thinking possibly San Francisco (never been to California, and my parents love that city to death and never ever stop talking about it).  Somewhere I've never been, anyway!

And yay!  Got the SCENE OF DOOM completely written!  Now there's just... one... two... two and a half (ish) more scenes.  Shouldn't take more than 2,000 words to finish this chapter up.  And I'm finally pleased with it again.  Yes!  *dances*

Aaand... another meme

I saw this one around a while back and never got around to doing it.

You take the first letter of your name and have to come up with something that begins with that letter for each category.

This brings back fond memories of "Scattergories", where I had to come up with an animal starting with "n".  My reply?

A "notter".

( It's like an otter. Only not. )
