sailorhathorI made my dad pork chops and rice for dinner since it was Father's Day. He thought my card was really funny too. Numnum, those pork chops were good.
I actually have a ton of things to do tonight, but I've got the "one track mind" blues. I need to dry the laundry, feed my piggies, clean out one cage (though I'll probably put that off unless I really get in the mood), cut up a watermelon into small pieces (where you can hold them and eat them without making a hella mess), cut up a cantaloupe, job hunt, and clean my dad's bathroom a little. Then, to entertain myself, I can work on my web pages, write some, and color more of the art Nancy's done for me. The problem is, there's only one thing I really want to do, and that is work on particular stories, but they're collaborative stories so I have to wait for the other writers to put in their parts before I can do anything. I understand why there are delays--just real life stuff getting in the way--but that doesn't make my creative demon shut up any more. I've gotta find some way to shift the gears in my head so I can work on some of these other creative projects, to channel the enthusiasm elsewhere. Easier said than done! I can see this is going to be an ongoing problem until a particular story is done. :P
The only thing about this that I have such a problem dealing with is that my brain WON'T let me switch gears, so I wind up staring off into space unable to do anything, because I can't decide on something else to do for some amount of minutes or hours. I usually wind up watching tv/tapes, or snacking, or both. My brain is so slow. Hello my name is Laurel, I dressed myself today. ::drool::
I feel like this is all I ever talk about anymore, although I know it isn't. Blah. Bored.
Update! One of my friends got online and we wrote back and forth for at least an hour. Ahhhhh, that's good writing. It's like my drug. I got a fix. ::twitch twitch::
