I think I might actually have to apply a wall o' Irish tag.

Well, both game and chocolate Cadbury eggs did not happen this weekend. But blogging happened, the Grimm recapalypse got up faster than I think either of us expected, because we are that fucking awesome. And the boy gave me one of his snickers bars to compensate for the lack of cadbury. No, I don't know why I like those atrocious mockeries of confections, I just do. Also, there was more Hobbit. I do love seeing The Hobbit on a big screen.

Today's statement of intent: Two scenes of line edits at least, plus bashing on the outline for White Lightning's main story some. Actually probably bashing on the outline for White Lightning entirely, the side stories are going to be more integrated in this one. Brainstorming and outlining another story for submission to LSQ, something a bit lighter this time, possibly brainstorming and outlining a story for submission to Fireside, and when the hell did I get to doing submissions again? Seriously. I thought I was done with that, but apparently not. Here's hoping my ego can take it. Because that's the biggest reason I quit last time. Oh, and while I'm doing statements of intent, coding up the story I wrote on Twitter on Friday for no real apparent reason. Might as well get that up on the website.

I don't actually know how much of that I'm going to get done. Tonight there is also dinner cooking and Prophecy watching with a crowd on twitter, which ought to be interesting. Anna and I have seen it before, some of the others have seen it before, I'm not sure which other than the new kid's seen it, and in general, this ought to be interesting. That was a bit of a fucked up movie. Of course, the latter were both fucked up and fairly bad, so at least the first won't offend on the bad movie front.

Holy crap, I think I'm ready on time! That never happens!
