I have no idea why I was s... wait a second. No, I know exactly why I was so tired last night, on account of I said yesterday was way more physically involved than I thought it would be. So, idiot, that's why you were tired last night, maybe next time you'll think about just going to bed instead of staying up and pushing through to the next originally intended time mark on Person of Interest. Fucksake.

And then, you know, today the boy brought home girl scout cookies, so I had girl scout cookies for breakfast. Shortbread, so it could have been worse, but oi.

Statement of intent for today: Same as yesterday for the most part. Line edits, at least one more scene and trying for two, coming home and grabbing dinner since I'll be on my own and then starting with the Haven Herald, then Person of Interest after I get that done. It does look like we don't have any incoming today, unless we get ambushed by FedEx again like yesterday, so I should have some time to get line edits done. That and pulling stories from this journal to toss up on the web page as writing samples, short stories so I don't have to go through and edit them. Doing that, self, fiction index and individual short stories now that you've got the story format itself done, and then coding the pages for Black Ice and the desert and then editing shit from there, posting it, etc. Okay? Okay.

Right. That's at least a broke-down list of things to do regarding the website. At least writing at this point is pretty much, line edits, line edits, cuppa coco, line edits. And, you know, doing day job work. But mostly line edits, line edits, almost got shagged, line edits. We can blame this on Mister E, who seems to have turned into Giles this morning.

Well. For today's German practice, I made myself a home page in fucking German. Now I just have to do it in French and Spanish, and then I'll be all set to give myself conniptions about how many languages that, yes, I functionally know. Mostly functionally know. I really, really need to get to the point where my grasp of German and even French, to an extent, is more conversational and less textbook. Then again, my speech online tends to be faintly textbook English, too? More textbook than a lot of people, anyway.

For Russian, not so much progress made. I discovered that I cannot, in fact, code in Russian on UltraEdit, which probably means that trying to just paste Russian language into a field and have it appear on a website is not the best way to go about things. ...

Or not. Or I could just beat up the internets for its information and then it figures it out for me. I love the internets.

Right. That makes today's Russian practice translating my home page into Russian, and possibly a little more if I feel up to it. More line edits probably after UPS goes, but until then, packing and website fuckery! That sounds about my speed for the day.
