Wednesday Update
Okay, who told me about the band Hidden Citizens? Was it someone here? I want to thank you because they are the-bomb-dot-com. Angsty, emo hard rock anthems are my jam and angsty, emo hard rock anthem cover songs? FUCKING SOLD.
Am about 1k words into the next Guardian fic. I wanted to get something down before I left for Con*Strict, so that's a relief. Had a hard time getting started because my brain can be annoyingly linear and I couldn't write the parts I knew were going to happen (the sex) before I wrote the things I didn't (the build-up/UST). As I mentioned in a comment tonaye , apparently my writing needs adequate foreplay. mckitterick talked with me a bit (so convenient, having a live-in writing instructor) and something, not sure what, sparked an insight for that first, crucial paragraph. Thanks, my dude.
Finally watched Good Omens and enjoyed it very much! I can appreciate David Tennant and Michael Sheen's performances while still mourning the loss of less-white casting. Can't lie, their chemistry is fantastic and sorry not sorry those characters are so in love. I thought the middle two episodes dragged a bit, but not enough to stop watching. The scriptwriters did a good (and necessary) reworking of Shadwell's character but I was disappointed how they (visually) cleaned up Madame Tracy's character at the end. Was that in the book? I don't remember, but even if it was, I could've done without it.
It's been a long time since I read it andmckitterick never read it at all so that's the next read-aloud project. The two other books I've read to him are Jitterbug Perfume (problematic but I love the language of it) and Little, Big (best. novel. ever.). I assured him I am not going to attempt any accents.
ETA: speaking of Good Omens, I almost forgot to share that this happened on Tumblr.naye, have you seen that? When fandoms collide.
In Health Shit, I'm back to sucking up 60cc of ozone. *knocks wood* After today's session I have three weeks off since my schedule conflicts with the clinic's during vacation time of year. It'll be helpful to track how I feel with that much time off. Am still weirdly uninterested in food which will probably serve me well while traveling so not complaining.
Motivating myself to do food prep somckitterick doesn't starve while I'm gone is difficult when I just want to write or art. It's such a fucking pleasure to do things for fun again.
