    Yep. A low phone battery never stopped Charles Dickens. :D

    I forget who said the least understandable quote of the past decade for those that preceded it would have been "Can you unplug your cigarette? I need to recharge my book."

    Wondering why I let myself eat so many Doritos when I know they make me sick after a bit and it's not because of the cheese on them. The "cheese," haha.

    Oh well. I'll just chug some water and hope that helps. And then do some reading on Norse gods. For science. Well, not science... my writing. Which is .... sciencey-fiction, so I guess it could be for science.

    OH MY GOSH SHUT UP AND DO IT ALREADY... :D

    If you can write posts (god I sound like my dad) without spilling your lemonade you can write on your story. Every word you typed above was wasted.

    If you want to write a story.

    I've been working on the outline for my short story and jotting down some ideas for future short stories. They're pretty vague, but I'll force the ideas to come to me. I have about a week and a half before I start classes again. I ain't got the time to wait!

    I did it. I got my laundry all folded and mostly put away--some of my cardigans are without hangers, but it's all right, we shall live and love forever.

    Now I'm going to lie down with some Forensic Files. I hope you all have a lovely night/day/whatever you need it to be.

    Making mood boards for my new apartment...

    Living room: black, charcoal, gray and some orange/yellow details. Plus dark wood!
    Kitchen: Black, white, light gray and perhaps some colourful details
    Bedroom: probably gray or maybe black... Do I need some colour in here as well?

    Yes I'm a Scandinavian with a highly tasteful - but perhaps a bit dull - sense of taste.

    We're not painting any walls. It's amazing what you can do with the right furniture's and decorations!

    I've rented apartments for 7 years - I know how to make a home out of a rented place.

    Writing. Well, was. Got up to a scene and realized, I dunno one of the characters names. As in, I didn't even name them, so I stopped dead in my writing tracks. Ah well.

    Tomorrow we're leaving. Gotta love plane rides.

    Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but what the heck is a mood board?

    I'm totally gonna go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing it's.... a board.... that reflects your mood.

    Don't quote me on that, though.

    Trying not to pass out as I sit here. First day of the new year went smoothly, the second one...not so much....not the worst though...I still do fell like that Ross meme. "This year was supposed to be great. It`s only the second day and I`m already a loser. " Didn`t get much sleep last night due to tooth pain, so woke up already tired. Then just the tooth pain came back, my body just got achey, was switching from being to cold to being to hot, and felt like I was gonna pass out. All while we`re basically sold out and cleaning trashed room from hockey AND a wedding. I fell like shit right now and tomorrows not gonna be any better. I should just go to bed, but it`s the second day of the new year I don`t want to not work on stuff just because life's already getting in the way. It`s already almost nine....

    We`ll see what I get done and we`re the chips fall.

    Inspiration board?

    Mood board is what they used to call it back at school. Then it was to design logotypes, advertisement and other things I was supposed to design back in the days.

    I've got pics of all the new furniture's plus colour-scheemes so I have a visual of what will work in the room. It's part boredom and partly easier to communicate with my better half of what's going on in my head.

    It's 7:30 am and still pitch dark in northwest Washington State. Workies are here to continue dismantling our outdoor kitchen and our deck in preparation for our major renovations. Our septic system is also being rebuilt. So I am up early this morning to monitor the action. Didn't get to bed until 2 am, so I'm operating on minimal sleep.
