Happy as a Clam ...
Nov. 2nd, 2006 01:57 pmDo you think clams are really all that happy? I've often wondered about that ...
...
*ahem* Anyhoo, let me just rein in my rambling mind before it wanders any farther afield.
The thing is that I'm happy at the moment. Happy, happy, happy. And, why, do you ask?
Well, I'm home now, which is nice. My mom was super sweet above and beyond the call of duty and cleaned house for me while I was gone. (Well, the part of the house cleaning I hadn't done yet, which was the kitchen floor, the carpet on the third floor, and two of the bathrooms.) But, the thing is, I got to walk in to a nice, clean house, which is so wonderful after a long trip. And, yes, the trip was really, really long. We took the redeye flight, which left Las Vegas at 11PM and landed at Dulles at around 6:30 AM. I can't ever sleep on the plane, so I basically pulled an all-nighter. Sad to say, it's not an unusual occurrence for me. I manged to get some anime watching done on the plane, though, and that was fun.
I felt like my writing time in Vegas was productive. I didn't get as much written as I had hoped, which, for me, is a given. I mean, I'm never satisfied, you know? But, the thing is, I think I just might be over my writer's block with regard to this particular story. I was writing a part where some really, really "not very nice" things happened, which was what had me blocked. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I just didn't want to write it, you know? Anyhow, while I was out of town, I made myself sit down and write it -- no matter how unpleasant it was. And, I think I'm almost all the way through the "icky" part. If things continue this way, I might actually manage to put this stupid story to bed, which, really, will shock the hell out of me, considering I've been writing it for longer than my daughter has been alive. (scary ... I know >.O)
And, my final happy, happy, joy, joy moment for today. Well, not "final" final, but final for the purposes of this entry. Waiting for me when I got home was a whole stack of production art goodness. Just makes me wanna fangirl sqweel all over the darn place. Hopefully, I'll have time to update in the next couple of days. We'll have to see if I get any computer time away from the parental units. But, I have Gensoumaden Saiyuki ... Saiyuki Gunlock (my wishlist genga, which is soooo pretty! *.*) ... Nightwalker ... CCS ... and Loveless. YAY! New pretties for me!
Yes, I really am this darn shallow. But, you guys already knew that, didn't you? *nervous laugh*
