strange day

[cornerofmadness]

It started off early with me going to the local vampire phlebotomist to have seven (count them) vials drawn. Luckily she believes me when I say I'm a difficult stick and uses the butterfly needle. She didn't even bruise me. Managed to get a RX that United Health will accept. Drop 210$ at the pharmacy. Do the wash and somehow it ends up being almost 2 pm.

I have a meeting at work. I go in for that. Get there early enough to finish grading my tests. Okay they might not know Darwin's name or even recognize it on a test but damn, they sure heard DocDana say that a mechanical reproductive isolation mechanism is penis shape and gave me ALL the examples (and made up a few they apparently thought I said) on the essays. Yep, don't remember DARWIN'S name for an evolution test but remember a Kangaroo has a Y shaped penis. Sigh.

CC and I were going to go out to eat and make up the lab test for this coming week. Well after the meeting some of the older prof's invited us to the every other week friday night wine and cheese party where we scare each other with what our students have done NOW (teaching is not for the faint of heart) Well, I still haven't eaten but after a few bottles of wine, I've decided dinner will be peanut butter with Dark Chocolate powder mixed in...

But the strange thing, one of the English prof's is a Spike fan. She has a stand up of him outside her door and the door is covered with Buffy stuff. Her, I must meet.

Now to pretend Nano is called tonight on account of me wanting to finish off that bottle of Pinot grigio in the fridge.

Nano is NOT called on account of Pinot grigio. You write better when you're...

Well, not going there. Children might be reading and I don't want to give them the wrong impression of you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I came to the same conclusion and sent you my thing for btvsats20. it's barely more than a page

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

A page isn't too bad.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

You have it. Forgot to mention the prompt in case you couldn't figure it out with the way I was whacking on it, was 'how do people see you?'

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Speaking of prompts, I'm sending knights_13 to talk to you. Try not to scare her off, 'kay? *grins*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Well I'm almost sober again so sure.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh, drat, there goes that great writing period.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm planning on dragging out the martinis soon

You know, I could break into the wine cellar smushed in under the sink but drinking wine in quantity gives me headaches. I really need some good old fashioned rum.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I write better with gin but I don't have that. Rum I could get

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yummy, rum.

Or JD.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I don't like JD. You'd like Mount Gay Rum, as I've said before. It's aged in old JD barrels

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Nubi was supposed to get us some, remember? He was the alcohol coordinator.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ever so true. I can't find anything here. Will buy what I want in PA and move it across state lines like my granny used to

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Just don't get Yukio in lockup, 'kay?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'll attempt not to

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I mean, you don't have the Packard necessary to outrace the cops.

I hope you didn't do that editing tonight - and be careful. It doesn't always increase word count if you discover you have to whack whole bits out, which I'm sure I'll have to do.

Spike did get to pull out a demon's tongue and strangle him with it. That was fun.

I have to admit I'm disappointed. I thought I was going to finally get to use my noodles. I got tired of waiting and ate them.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ah I'm not doing that kind of editing. I write in layers. Dialogue first and THEN go back and put in action and description. You'd think my adversion to putting that in on the first draft would make writing scripts easy for me but apparently not.

Go Spike.

Make more noodles for next week.

[myfeetshowit.livejournal.com]

I suspect script writing uses a whole different portion of the brain. Or maybe not the brain at all.

I've put in a supply of noodles. TOP - RAMEN - NOODLES. Be afraid, be very afraid 8D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what part of the brain it uses but it is harder than I ever expected to write script
