  • Running a little late. Morning tubby time for Kaylee was not a great idea, in hindsight. #
  • Rt @turbine LOTRO: Welcome Back Weekend March 26-31: returning players play for free, AND, +25% bonus XP on mob kills for everyone. #
  • Someone tell me the third flower in the vase is green, so I have a reason to kill a few people. *rummages around for spork* #dollhouse #
  • Man, there are days when @finnras really tickles me. When he’s being a bastard… and when the world’s being a bastard to him. *snickers* #
  • Adrift: Mak’s not happy about being offered in trade to a Drift tribe. Hmm. Probably shouldn’.. http://tinyurl.com/cz4f23 #
  • Whoa. Shot past the page count I needed for the revision on Hidden Things. Must have got my words-to-pages math wrong. Awesome. Awesome +2 #
  • Even killing 10% of the new stuff during the revision-pass, I’ll make the publisher happy. Me? We’ll see. #
  • RT @thecreativepenn “StoryMash, ‘the future of collaborative fiction’? http://storymash.com/ #writing” Interesting, and familiar… #

  • Internet Explorer: From Hell’s Heart I Stab at Thee. In the Face. With ceramic sporks. Sporks of Hate. Hate-Sporks. #
  • Re: @indieauthor – I think Twitter is adding… things. Or rather /trying/ to. Unfortunately, these things are made of LEAD and FAILURE. in reply to indieauthor #
  • I have some Hate-Sporks left over from face-stabbing Internet Explorer earlier, if you need them for Twitter. @indieauthor, @jamieharrington in reply to jamieharrington #
  • A flurry of activity on not-my-projects today has left me mentally drained and with a sense of not actually having done anything. #
  • Game cancelled, due to co-parent being sick and needing me to take Kaylee. No game sucks. Upside is Bonus Kaylee and Sunday ‘off’. #
  • Adrift: The armed locals apparently have guides in the group that know the core of the Drift, and are wil.. http://tinyurl.com/c9sglw #

This is the Fail Bear

fail_bearTwitter has a Fail Whale… I have this lovable guy.

I will be trotting him out after days like this, during which I wrestle for several hours with things that shouldn’t really be broken in the first place, only to finally ‘fix’ it by putting it back the way it originally was.

  • Inexplicable insomnia. Seriously, WTH? #
  • Spent 1am to 5 learning uke chords for various Julia Nunes covers. Flag Pole Sitta was definitely the easiest. Her originals? V. v. hard. #
  • “It is ‘apposed to be SPRING. I want to wear a short-sleeved DRESS. The FLOWERS need SUN. Why is is COLD?” – My daughter, berating THE SKY. #
  • A smart company monitors Twitter for mention of their product & connects with that person. (Ning. GoToMyPC.) A dumb company? Link spam. #
  • Damn near have the entire next scene written out in my head, but can’t write it down. V suspicious that the characters don’t want to do it. #
  • This is a problem, due to conflicting facts: 1) I kinda like the scene. 2) The characters are almost always right about this crap. Dammit. #
  • I shall work on the next @finnras while the book characters decide if they’re going to give me a hint. /glare #
  • RT: @amandafrench: RT @MikeDoughtyYeah: “I want to replace FAIL with THWART.” #
  • Adrift: Mak puts his hands up, but doesn’t look surprised; means he /could/ have warned me. Startin.. http://tinyurl.com/c26cbr #

  • Sunday morning bot-exorcism. Cleaning bots out of my follower list. #
  • Hmm. Disappointing lack of bot followers. You all seem to be real people. *Poke* Yyyep. Real people. #
  • Lasagna Update: as good — perhaps even better — reheated the next day. Leftovers for work week are GO. #
  • Adrift: Smudged handprints reveal a maintenance hatch; we’re not the first to use this route. Door .. http://tinyurl.com/c9mfue #
  • Did some xeriscaping in the front yard this afternoon in lieu of writing. Weather was just TOO nice. Procrastination, but productive. #
