"Run mad as often you like, but do not faint."

So, I was working on the history project for settiai, and closed down HomeSite thinking I was done. Then I opened it back up again as I realized I needed to use it to update Shattered Globe. Oops. Likewise, I had an LJ entry all typed up and ready to go, and then I forgot myself and clicked on a link, promptly erasing the whole damn thing. Oops.

I think I'm going slightly mad.

Today was, in the beginning, largely a waste of time. My darling cuddly sailor boy came over, we snogged, got dressed, went over to Primerica to talk to our manager... who wasn't in. No problem, we thought, we're early after all. And then she was late. And then she was later, and we decided, the hell with this. We're going to go get something to eat. So we were on our way out when the UberYuppie showed up and started babbling to us. And then someone from the front desk called down that they had her on the line... ugh. So we got held up there.

But then we went for lunch at the Subway up the street from my apartment, and then came back and cuddled for about two, three hours. And that was not at all a waste of time. I love my boyfriend.

Today's been moderately productive, although it took a little while to get my sorry butt in gear. Did some work on the timeline, finished it up a little, it's here if anyone wants to take a look. I don't recommend going anywhere that isn't the timeline or the country view, though. A good portion of the links are broken as the pages themselves haven't been written yet. Taking a break from coding now, although I did update most of the revised chapters of Shattered Globe. After this entry I'll revise Chapter Four and upload medelliagray 's picture. Yay pictures!

Was up far too late last night talking to almightyhat about French whores at the turn of the century. See, we've got this whole round-robin story thing going on with movie!Hyde (I think? We should clarify that) and some French whores. It's all very Threepenny Opera, if Macheath were 8 feet tall with arms like a gorilla. We put up another post, did our character briefs, and looked around for information on what a French whore would have cost back then. And we actually found a price guide to Paris whores for 1995! It was so weird... it was like this sort of travel guide. Only for whores. The things you find on the internet, I swear....

I spent a little time when I was waiting for my supervisor in tallying up how many random original characters I have that I've written stories for, or about, or in general. I think the grand total is 120 or some odd. Something stupidly high like that. I really need to start organizing them, putting them in dossiers or something like that. I started making up a sort of a form. Not sure how well that's going to work, but we'll see.

So now I'm sitting around and listening to classic rock, getting ready to go back in and rewrite some of Shattered Globe. Already. I haven't finished the damn thing yet and it already bears rewriting! And I haven't even rewritten the other two stories I have up on fanfic.net marked for re-writes. Ugh. Ok... well, hopefully I can be more productive tonight. Besides, I think I'll give it a week before I start posting in Understanding again. See if anyone actually has something they want to see happen in the Matrix epic.

EDIT: And then again... in the interests of getting the lovely piccie up before poor Medellia dies of old age, I decided to post first and then repost the edited version later. :)
