shipperxMy brain is dead. Dead brain cannot think any more.
In theory today was my day off, but due to deadlines and having been called to help others on other projects to the point that I'm slightly anxious about making my own deadline, I worked a half day today. However, by the time I ate a late lunch, went to my sister'shellhole house site with a construction detail (that I stayed at work late last night to draw), searched for coffee pot for my mom, and hit the farmer's market (for some super delicious silver queen corn), I made it home at 6pm just like always. I'm looking forward to sleeping late in the morning.
On other issues...
* I've been struggling with Chapter 3 of my fic. I think I've managed a superfluous ficlet out of it, because the scene I've written doesn't actually fit into the chapter. It gives background to my story but slows the pace such that I think it has to go. I may post the scene as a companion ficlet, though. That still leaves me with the need to write the actual chapter. I have the original rough draft of the chapter but some staging has changed so significantly that I'm having to do major restructuring. Don't know whether I'll make this month's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wip_out deadline.
* Ever have a commercial break your heart? I saw a commercial for the new XF movie and there was a line in one of the commercials where Scully says "I don't work with Mulder any more." Wha-wha-wha-what???! Nooooo! (Okay, that's my visceral reaction. My more sane reaction was that I kind of expected that. The fanficcer in me kept insisting that if I was Chris Carter, I would have had Mulder and Scully estranged so as to give some emotional tension to the story. However, the M/S shipper in me whimpered.) I do hope that this movie doesn't suck.
* On the other hand, a few of the Hellboy II commercials crack me up.
And I have some comments about the book that I just finished reading, but I'm too tired to put coherent sentences together. Maybe tomorrow.
