Word order with expressions of time and place

Ich gehe heute Abend in den Supermarkt.
Gehst du heute in die Buchhandlung?
Flynn geht heute Nacht in Grid.

If the direct object is a noun, it follows the indirect object.
Schreibst du deiner Mutter viele E-mails?
Ich bringe meinem Freund meinen Notizen.
Flynn schenkt seinem Sohn einen Computer.
Ich leihe meinem Freund meinen Rucksack.


If the direct object is a pronoun, it precedes the indirect object.
Ich leihe dir ihn gern.
Ich schreibe ihr sie oft.



Ugh. At this point I think I should just throw my Faust into my bag and do word order exercises that way. Bleh.

Trying something different; in order not to get bogged down by things that I already know, I'm going to mark things off in the table of contents as I have trouble with them and make sure to go back through them when I need to review later. And, you know, hopefully if I remember to do consistent tagging things that'll help. But at least that way I'm not getting fed up with review by doing the same simple things over and over again, and then stopping the review when I get to the more complicated ones.

You'd think this was silly and self-evident. But no. You'd think wrong.

Oof. Slowly starting to regain writing equilibrium, among other things. Writing smaller chunks of stories helps to build those muscles back up again. Even if the smaller chunks of stories are bizarre, depressing, or both. I need to work on a couple other things, too. Writing samples, at the very least, and finish another story that is by now way later than I wanted it to be. Actually two of them, but only one has a deadline.

It's still freaking hot out here. I have no idea what's up with the weather considering it's made about a twenty-five degree (farenheit) jump from last week to this week. I'm actually surprised I haven't gotten sick yet, either, what with the going from indoors and air conditioned to outdoors and, well, not. Glad, really. But surprised. And it looks like it's not supposed to cool down at all the rest of this week. Bugger.

Slowly gearing up for the Supernatural convention in a couple of weeks. Which is to say, I have my tickets and I have my pass and I have my photo ID and my bus ticket. And I feel a little bit guilty for not having the enthusiasm that probably every other Gold Package ticket holder has, but goddammit. If this is going to be my only chance to collect the damn autographs, then I'm going to take it. Because apparently with autographs I'm a bit neurotic or something. Must have as many as I can. (And the truly sad thing is, out of the six people plus the two big ones I'm only getting five. I got Corin Nemec's at Dragon Con. And we stood around and talked for a while, and he was absolutely adorable. And it was probably a friendlier, quieter atmosphere than this. But oh well. I could be wrong. I've never been to a Creation Ent con before!) Anyway, so there's that. I even have a Ramones shirt and I'm going to go out and look for sunglasses and maybe a leather jacket or something so I can dress up as Pamela Barnes. Because I have no life. No, seriously. Lifeless.
