I needed more sleep for this day

[selenay]

I have had around five hours of sleep due to a humidity-induced headache so today is all about the caffiene and the hiding from people who expect intelligence from me.

The hiding isn't going well. Co-worker M wants us to spend two hours in a conference room trying to make a report for Project Doom work. His naivety in thinking that anything Project Doom-related can be fixed in two hours would be even more adorable if I'd had more than five hours of sleep.

Why yes, I am deeply cynical about all things Project Doom-related. We just found out that the part of Project Doom that our part is reliant on is three months behind so I may actually still be working on this in August next year.

August next year.

Just...yeah, I don't know.

I have tickets for the Bourne Legacy tomorrow evening. It was a pre-emptive strike because Mother wants to go (and will be all puppy eyes sad at me if I go on my own) and was starting to talk about maybe waiting a week or two until the rush had died down.

No, mother, that is how we nearly didn't see Spiderman and only finally saw it the week before it left our theatre. Just no, mother. We now have tickets. Thus, we are going.

It appears that I'm incapable of writing anything serious now. Thus much of last week's writing time was devoted to crack fic of the most cracky form. Uh oh :-D

May the Force be with you for tomorrow night. *crosses fingers n' toes*

Also... *sneaks up on you and fluffs pom poms above your head* There's nowt wrong with ALL THE CRACK. :D

Only ten hours and ten minutes to go :-D Did I mention that I'm now seeing it with Mother and a friend of ours from church? *shakes head*

This could be bad.

I'm resigned to my crack writing. It does seem to be a lot more fun than being sensible :-D

Woo! \o/ ... O.o Oh, dear. I was remarkably restrained considering. I think I'm the postergirl for 'SCREAMING INTERNALLY', 'cause daaaaaamn I couldn't take my eyes off the screen and consumed 5 pieces of nicotine gum. *gulp* GOOD LUCK. *pats The Condemned on the back*

YAY! CRACK! \o/ I might end up paring the AU down to a PWP 'cause there's this one thing and it's making my head hurt the longer I DON'T write it. *whimpers*

[selenay]

My internal fangirl will need to be very, very internal :-D I am slightly nervous about how well that will work...

There is nothing wrong with a PWP! Nothing! *waves pom poms manically*

Indeed. *nods* You'd better take some chocolate. And have the Baileys on standby for when you come out. I need a DRINK after that. Seriously, I hoovered up a strong Long Island Iced Tea in under a minute.

I'll give it a go when I get back. My major problem has been the plot was TOO BIG and didn't have the right focus. I think if I cut it down to a PWP I can get the major how n' whys in.

[selenay]

That's a very good plan. When the plot is too big and you can't focus on it, paring it down to something more manageable is a good plan. And who says there can't be motivation, hows n' whys and hints at plot in a PWP?

[fahrenheit-f430.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I've got it down to a mini plot with two doses of smut by mention and one actual dose of smut. Hopefully this'll be better than going out with a plan for an intimidating wordcount and numerous chapters.

Congrats on the maternal management! (I had this long rant in Sunday's LJ entry about how Mom wants to watch just about everything I want to see with me -- but has been spending this entire baseball season trying to watch every Rangers game, which eats up her limited TV-viewing time -- and now that I'm unemployed and looking for TV to watch while I knit, I'm finding the DVR is full of stuff that's been earmarked for me to watch with Mom and almost nothing I can watch by myself. I have to hide my Netflix disks from her. And maybe at some point lay out for her the problem I'm having.)

I sincerely hope that if Project Doom is going to take up that much calendar time it won't be eating such a big proportion of your day-to-day working time -- like, that you have lots of less frustrating things you can be productive on, while letting Project Doom be backburnered waiting on other people to get their shit together.
