Oh my sister, how I love thee. Let me count the ways. The first would be the telephone call that I just received to let me know that she's still trying to find a train home and is therefore unlikely to make it to the station until well after 11pm. I was happy to fetch her from the station when it looked like being 9.30pm, but when it's getting close to midnight...grrr. Am tired. Wanna sleep *pout*
Other stuff today went well. Got all the programs installed for the PHP/MySQL stuff and began reading the first chapter. I'm discovering that it really is true that when you know one (or three) object-oriented programming languages, you can understand 'em all. Woo. Having alreay studied SQL this year, I don't think that adjusting to MySQL will be too tough either. Go me :-)
Also did some work on Mage Murders:
Words handwritten today: 1,000 approx
Total words handwritten: 20,500 approx.
I broke the 20K barrier and I'm feeling pleased :-) I've also got Medreth talking to me, Y'Pennf dropped a rather fun scene into my head this morning and my secondary characters are cool. Even the political subplot is beginning to gel properly. It's going scarily well.
Lastly, I present the Teyla/Weir pre-slash thingy that got sparked from 'Poisoning the Well'. It's also up at my site :-) This didn't quite go where I intended it to go and I'm not really sure what to make of it, but I'm letting it out anyway. Other people can write wonderful John/Sheppard stuff that makes me laugh out loud and threatens to ignite my monitor with the sheer hotness (even in a fic that's just about a kiss,
mmmchelle). I get...this:
