Well. Um. The new year certainly brought a new charge of energy. (The new year of my faith, that is, obviously not the secular new year.) I've got some plans I'm slowly implementing, I'm doing better, my energy is up. I like this feeling.

Let's see. In the category of things that are awesome. First: John "Nuke 'Em" Sheridan. Really, Bester's damn lucky he never pissed Sheridan off too much. Then this happened, for which there is not enough capslocky glee in the world. Anne Rice is throwing down against Stephanie Meyer, for which there is not enough popcorn in the world. I actually like maybe two of Anne Rice's books, and still waffle on reading Stephanie Meyer's at all on the basis that I'm pretty damn sure I will loathe the heart out of them, but that doesn't mean I have to think better of either of the women themselves than that they are incredibly silly and a touch vapid. And, hmm. There was one other thing. Oh! Yahoo coughed up a picture of a lightning-touched volcano. Which is infinitely awesome. Boom de ya da.

I suppose I should get back to work on writing, my one fic, my Lucien (Underworld) fic although for that to happen he has to stop being so purple I want to throttle him, and bashing my OBB into shape. My posting date for HBB looks eminently do-able, that one's in much better shape, and I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this juggling all the writing thing. Of course, the moment I say that is the moment when I take on too much and it all piles on top of me, but until then I'm going to enjoy not actually having too many projects for me to handle.

The icon is because this has become one of my new mantras. I have so damn many things to do, the only way for me to keep track of it all is to, well. Set 'em up. Knock 'em down.
