Okay, I'm not sure if I'm stick, comma, still, or sick, comma, again. What I really want to do is just curl up and watch Warm Bodies because oh my god this is the funniest fucking movie ever. Instead I went to work, and now I'm zombieing around with my body too cold, my nose too runny, my head too spaced, and definitely feeling sick.

Spent last night sneezing and sort of doing edits on Gods and Monsters, which thankfully did get finished today. If I'm very lucky I'll be able to finish a lot of writing tasks today, and on time to do the sewing ones this evening. Thus, this list is for my own edification and because I have a brain that is covered in ick right now.

( List )

Yeah, I wish I had more things interesting for you, but I'm just too sick to process thoughts right now. Warm Bodies was hilarious. Go see it.

Tetsuo costume is finished! Entirely! I need to figure out a makeup scheme, but that shouldn't be too hard. I might start experimenting this morning and if people tell me "you look like shit" I know I've succeeded. Because really. Tetsuo spends half the time looking like a zombie, and that's without the creepy cybernetics. (As it turns out I completely forgot that I'd be leaving for work early and wouldn't have time, but oh well. I can research zombie makeup and try again later.) Huntress cloak has its hook and bars, it could use another snap but I have no fucking clue where my pack of snaps has gone. I had one there a week ago, I saw it.

And today... ye gods. Today is going to be interesting. Assuming I have time I have to spin up a bunch more natural yarn and then ply it for dropping in an indigo vat, I have edits to do on Gods and Monsters and then drafting the next one, which I hope to at least get three scenes into. Then poking both at this new thing that seems to have erupted over night and maybe some at Nerd Girls, which I've been neglecting. If I have time. I more expect to be able to poke at Nerd Girls tonight when I have my Campbell open in front of me, but whichever.

A week till Dragon*Con. Little less than. I can't quite believe it's that close, though. I guess that means some light/quick machine sewing tomorrow night, and that should take me to just doing the leotard on Saturday or Sunday and then, ulp. All costumes done? In time for Dragon*Con? That's never happened before!

This is, of course, not including all the writing I have to do. And the batch-making of burritos so I don't have to worry about that for the next two-three weeks, if the pots in my fridge right now are anything to go by. Plus the batch making of spaghetti and chili, which at least all I have to do there is dump things in pots and remember to stir every half hour. Plus the cleaning of the house. I think that's it, really? But argh. Oh, plus formatting and finishing of stuff to put up for sale, and mostly it's down to all the fiddly little things and I just need to set it up and knock it down. Which isn't bad. But keeping it all coordinated? Argh. Maybe that's what will happen around lunch in between Russian. Getting my calendar organized so it doesn't all crash together.

Goddammit. I will get back into routines if it kills someone. Preferably not me.

The problem, and I think this is why it took me so long to get into this routine, is that once I've taken more than a day or two off I start losing confidence in my ability to retain this information. Which is silly. Currently my mind is working on retaining the grammar structure of, um. Six? Different languages, and considering I'm learning the grammar structure of three of them at once, it's not doing that bad a job. I can do this. So fuck you, caterpillar.

Guitar, at least, is coming along. I'm getting faster on the two songs I know, and I'm contemplating what third to pick up but so far I haven't managed it yet. Back to chord changes.

And ... something. I was discussing with a friend earlier about books, and why men are allowed to have rampant sexual tension between them but god forbid they actually fall in love or decide to be in a relationship (I'm looking at you, Laurell K) and seriously, where all the lesbians at? Or any of that. Hypersexed paranormal urban fantasy type stuff is all the rage these days, which should mean we see more non-heterosexual monogamous relationships too. But instead it seems like, okay, non-monogamous, maybe, but not non-heterosexual. It's either male-female, man-woman, or it's male-male-female-male-male, woman and her harem. Or maybe I'm just reading all the wrong books.

Bah. Clearly this means it's time to write some alternative sexuality shit. Where's my space opera threesome.
