(personal/writing) Musings on a weird weekend

[vg_ford]

I got almost nothing done I wanted to, lost a crit (grrr) to the Internets and had to update my big computer yesterday, so it was a weird weekend, but all in all, I'm not as upset as I feel I should be. If that makes sense. :p

Went and saw "Rise of the Lycans" yesterday with Michael de Calais (who needs to get a LJ account!) and argus7hills - I really enjoyed it. Then again, I loved both of the other "Underworld" movies - this one followed in their footsteps. And Lucian...mmmm, Lucian. There was one minor consistancy glitch from the Sonia story told in the first movie, but we all instantly saw why they did it. No spoilers, but I really did like it. However, jackoutofthebox, SO not appropriate for the Halflings. Not yet. Very violent. (One guy caught a javelin in the face and got pinned to the wall. Even we went, "Oh gross!")

I have some things that I actually managed to get printed out to crit today. Unfortunately, I'd started a crit on Saturday and managed to not save it (not sure how, because I distinctly REMEMBER saving it, but I couldn't find it this morning), so I'm starting it over. Work has been major busy today, so it might have to wait until tomorrow, but I WILL get my two crits listed. Seriously.

And dammit, I'm making broccoli quiche tomorrow night. I have everything I need and it's laughing at me. Dammit. No more excuses. (Tonight I have class.)

This week, I'm going to be very busy with class/Birka prep (nope, haven't started sewing yet, of course), so I don't know how much writing I'll get done.

Oh, and it has come to my attention that a few folks got left off (unintentionally!) from the Mirrors filter, so I'll throw it open again. I'm writing a book transparently on LJ. If you want in and don't think you are on that filter, reply in comments.

Would you check to see if I got thrown off? I haven't seen a Mirrors post in awhile. Kthnx

Yep, you're on there!

Ooooh, sounds like a great movie. I enjoyed the previous two, as well.

I'd like to be on your Mirrors filter, please.

[vg-ford.livejournal.com]

Done! And yes, if you liked the first two, you'll like this one.

My household always says that it's not a real event unless you're being sewn into your garb on the way there. And we've got the in-car photos to prove it. (You'd be amazed at some of the stitching that can be accomplished by a carful of women in farthingales!)

Hehe - been there, done that as well! I don't know that I'll be that bad - although I have not yet hit fennel_fox's depths of stapling my hem in the car on the way to the event.

I have, however, done duct tape hems on the way to events.

the girls (14 & 13) and I went to see Underworld 3 the night it opened, there where a couple things that we went "huh?" to but as long as they keep Lucian in tight leather pants with no shirt then I don't care what the story says ;)

Oh yes. *drool*

Want to add me to the filter? I'm nosy.

It would be futile for Mike to get an LJ account. Although it would provide nice symmetry with the email accounts he checks on alternate full moons. :-)

Added and yeah, I know. *sigh*
