Comic Sans would have helped.Quote:

In all fairness, he seems to be a very boisterous, good-humored, charming vampire, so I'm not sure we should be alarmed, but I feel like it's better to have all the facts on the table.
I posted this on FB, but I'll mention it here too. We just got the script. One of the writers is Taran Killam.Quote:

I'm halfway through the script. It's a fairly typical 'normal-guy-meets-his-girlfriend's-wacky-family' kind of plot. I may be wrong, but there is a boorish, loud-mouthed character that seems to be tailored for Taran Killam. Kind of like that character he played on SNL who wouldn't let things go when someone made a simple word flub. There were some moments that made me laugh.
Woke from a nightmare. I was at a party in Los Angeles, a house in the hills. Brad Bird was there. We were talking and all he did the whole night was tell stories about a legendary Disney employee named Watashi.
Watashi.
:lol:
The most surprising part of this is that it's not Watashi who had this dream.Quote:

This month has been really good for me in terms of getting on a good schedule of working on my creative writing / research / outlining. Unfortunately, it has created a terrible time crunch for me on evenings / weekends. As a grown woman with regular work hours and no kids, it's rare for me to feel like I really need to budget my time. If I don't have time to do something, I just need to cut out the slacking off / internet / entertainment time. But that's down to almost nothing (when I'm not at work; sad but true).
Something must go, and this week the thing has been sleep. I really operate best with 7-8 hours and I'm down to 5ish. That's not sustainable at all long term.
So what gets cut? I'm not willing to give up my garden. I can't afford to have someone else clean my house. I still need to eat and take care of my cat.
I'm thinking I may need to cut down on my reading (for pleasure, not reading for my writing research) and the thought makes me sad.
I may also need to seriously pare down what shows I will be watching in the fall.
I've cut out several blogs I like to follow that are particularly time-consuming.
And I've started saying no to more social engagements. Not all of them; I don't want to be a hermit. But if someone calls me last minute just to hang out and I have already laid out the work I am doing that evening, I've started taking a deep breath and saying that I'm too busy. That's huge for me.
I don't want to burn out, so I've figure out things that are fun for me to do while multitasking on other stuff. (For instance, this weekend I am watching a couple films that I need to see for research purposes while canning peaches.) But I'm not going to allow myself a whole weekend-- or even a whole evening-- off from writing. It has to get done, and if I care about it, I will prioritize it over other things that I also care about.
Or a puma!Quote:

I love the internet sometimes.
Spinal can always ride off into the sunset on his motorcycle after they repo the pumas.
Wait wait, are we talking about the cats or the shoes here?Quote:
