Aaaahahaha.



I still have MASSES of story left to write, though. Damnit. So let's just... keep on chugging...

Bawwww, my arm still hurts.

*flop*

At least Seemy's started behaving. 23000-ish words. I'M SO BEHIND, cry cry. (But then I shouldn't use my VALUABLE WRITING TIME to SLEEP THROUGH grr)

I'm getting SO behind on this thing. -_- Hopefully I can catch up over the weekend.

13740 words so far. (1217 words for chapter 4, not yet posted)
13740 / 80000 words. 17% done!

Just stuff! ^_^

So, what did you say had been happening today?

• 08:32 248 words before work. (~10min) #
• 13:58 1337 words (~25 min at lunch). YAY #
• 23:58 AAAHAHAHAH 7021 words JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT #

...and finally, the weather. Today in the east of England, the weather will be outside (and probably frickin' cold again).
This has been your pre-set broadcast of Keaalu's twitterings for today. We now take you back to the scheduled broadcast.

AND IT BEGINSSSS WAHAHA.

Adverse Camber, Chapter the first!

3938 words (ok I added a couple of extra words after I counted it, while I was HTML'ing for ElJay). Hey, it's a Sunday, I get to be busy, and I'm "buffering" for those days (i.e. ON CALL BOOO) that I don't write much. :) And I'M NOT BEING DISTRACTED BY A DIFFERENT STORY, woohoo. (Although I will try get that "hanging" last chapter of Warped finished off asap, anyway.)

What I've written so far has already thrown a surprise at me, so... go figure. :P Lars has finally admitted to her "oops" to me, and Seem is all WUARGH at her/me for it. OH WELL. Yay for characters taking over. :P

...and now... to sleep.

*zzz*

So, what did you say had been happening today?

• 16:44 WAHAHAH NANO BEGINSSS. 2407 words already! #
• 16:45 Lordy I'm so bad at updating this thing. I only seem to do it when I'm "out and about" and only have a mobile to hand. ¬_¬ #

...and finally, the weather. Today in the east of England, the weather will be outside (and probably frickin' cold again).

Title (chapter): Warped (29)
Series: Transformers, G1-based (“Blue” AU)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Pretty much have one more chapter to go on this one. I hoped to get it finished before November, because my juggling two stories just isn't going to be pretty - at least, it wasn't last year. Oh well! Roll on NaNo. :P

( ‘‘Warped’’, Chapter Twenty-Nine )

OK so I perked up a bit now.

I have looads of stuff I should have posted ages ago so I may go and "back date" some entries with photos (like OMG CLOUDS). Anyway.

Yeah, so, went to London yesterday. The shopping was fun, the rest of it... not so much. I went to the British Museum to check out the "Moctezuma" exhibition, and could I find it? NUH. So I wandered around a bit going "I seen all this before -_-". (Although it probably didn't help that I was walking along going I hungry and there'd been delicious smells from restaurants outside as I walked.)

I'm going to go back in November, mainly to see the new Darwin Centre but I might go try and hunt down the Aztecs at the British Museum, too.

I DID find a pretty awesome tea shop in Covent Garden. (I might have started buying Christmas presents as well ¬_¬ but Shh!) I love the area around Seven Dials.

Buuugh.

Why is it that the "first proper day of rain" we've had in ages JUST HAPPENS to coincide with the day I decide to go to London?

Sucky day. -_- Depressed. I'll answer posts later. Sleep first. *flop*

( Trick or treat nonsense stole'd off Jill )

Uuuugh today does not bode well.

1. On-call. Auuugh I hate weekend on-calls (but I like Sundays less than Saturdays, so it could be worse.)

2. Missed bus, TWICE. Last night it was really late, so I assumed I'd missed it and nipped in to get some taxi money to use today. As I came out... I got to watch it drive off. ARGH. Then it rained on me.
This morning, it was early. Usually, the 6 comes pretty reliably at 20 and 50 minutes past the hour... except at 8:20 (the one I wanted to get, typical) which comes at 8:15. (why? WHY? pls to be rationalising ur timetables, Ipswich Buses.) And even THEN it was early.
So... I walked in. ¬_¬ The rest of the staff are all queued up in the corridor outside waiting to be able to get in when I get there and I'm all "sorrryyy bus miss get, had to walk. YES I AM FLUSTERED, I just had to walk 2.6 miles in 40 minutes. BUT I MADE IT, IT'S ONLY JUST 9AM so shh. *unlock, unlock*"

3. It's 12:53 and the work is done, this usually means it'll go crazy later.

Edit @ 13:45 :

IT'S GONE CRAZY BUARGH

I just had a call from a midwife with an MI query, is loratadine ok in breast feeding? Answer: Pretty much, low levels in breast milk, she can continue to breast feed.

THEN THE POLICE RANG ME OH GOD WHAT (literally as I hung up from the midwife, I put the phone down and it started ringing again.)
Luckily, just wanting advice on whether sildenafil (Viagra) (lol typo: "sildenafail") is a CD or not. "No, but it is a POM", says me. (I did geek out a bit over this, I should admit, and squeaked a bit. Hence Vecks gets to be the user-icon. *shame* But! *quietly* yay polizei ^_^)

Title (chapter): Warped (28)
Series: Transformers, G1-based (“Blue” AU)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Lordy, I never thought I'd *cough*"celebrate"*cough* the first birthday of this thing. Ehhe. ¬_¬ Sorry this is taking soooo loooong, but I'm NEARLY done.

( ‘‘Warped’’, Chapter Twenty-Eight )

And now... for the on-call. BUUUUGH

Argh, typical; I want to go out, but I managed to wake up late (alarm clock fail) And better than that it's RAINING.

*flails arms*

Well, I'M GOING ANYWAY.

( Ahrt beloooow )

And is it octopus' or octopus's?

WHYYYY do things always seem so good on paper? >:( Then you use them and ARGH FLAWS BECOME APPARENT

CASE IN POINT! Toilet Duck "FreshDisks"
They're supposed to be some "better than a rim-block" alternative to a rimblock, right? As in, instead of a manky plastic cage with a blob of green soapy crap in it that you hang over the rim of the toilet bowl, so it can "freshen" the bowl every time you flush (yeah right, cuz finding somewhere in the bowl they get a good floosh of water over them is QUITE EASY), you have a tube of green goop that you squirt at the bowl.

Sounds good on paper! Those cages get disgusting and this is all super dissolvable goop, no mess etc. Right?

WRONG!

a) IT DOESN'T STICK. About one flush after I used the thing and it had sluuuuuurmed down the inside of the bowl, so instead of a little "floret" of goop I had the world's biggest bogey splodged on the inside of the loo. GREAT.

b) HOW THE F'CK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO USE A LOOBRUSH WITHOUT SCRUBBING IT OFF??!

Argh. *flails arms*

Edit: OWWW ARGH FUCK OW

THREE TIPS:
a) if rearranging a pan of things (like potato wedges, for instance), when you balance it a bit off centre on the cooker top, don't scoot all the weight into the unsupported end.
b) don't put it into a 200 degree oven and expect it not to be hot.
c) when it starts to fall off, TAME YOUR REFLEXES AND DON'T TRY AND CATCH IT WITH YOUR GODDAMN HAND
d) don't suck the injury because goddamn does your mouth ever feel like a furnace.

OWWW ow ow ow burnded. *stands with finger under cold water*

Edit2: ONE GOOD THING: CHAPTER IS NEARLY DONE!

It's a bad thing when characters who exist solely in your head are heckling you to get it done, ne?

OH LAWD

I just went on Artbeads.com

WHY DO UK BEAD SHOPS NOT SELL PRETTIES LIKE THESE

I have to do more shopping. ¬_¬

Don't you just love it when you buy something off the internet, but they're out of stock of what you wanted, so instead of asking you what you'd prefer to do (i.e. "here's some alternatives you can pick from or would you rather have a refund?") they send you a replacement... that looks nothing like what you bought?

As in, you buy a charm in the shape of a bird wing... oops, out of stock, so they say "sorry we're out of stock have this instead it's pretty too!" and send a shell, or a spiral, or something? Which you totally can't use because it's not the frigging shape you ordered.

Yeah, when I say "love"... I might just be being a tad sarcastic.

Edit: Yeah ok it's not a big deal. It was 2 items out of a 30-item order, and the replacements were pretty close, just... not exact. ¬_¬ Sorry. ^_^ I just wanted to whine about it. I shouldn't have gone "ok so what WAS article 3529 that they were out of stock of... NOOOO NOT THE PRETTY WINGS bawww *flop*"

I found this on a blog somewhere, and it's SO weird.

Watch this clip, and try and work out what he's saying. (No, it's nothing as complex as a whole sentence, just a sound)

Then watch it again without looking at it, and try work out what he's saying.

http://www.media.uio.no/personer/arntm/McGurk_medium.mov

Then watch it again, KNOWING what he's saying, and it'll STILL sound like it did first time.

SO weird.

OK. So. First flight, it was dark. Kinda bumpy, too, and the descent wasn't too great.

Second flight, it was late evening and the sun was just starting to set. It was really grim and dull under the clouds, looked like drizzle was about to set in, that sort of thing. I was 90% ignoring the weather, because OMG TAKEOFF FUCK YEAH. (One of my colleagues hates it, she says it feels like you're going straight up, but I get a complete rush from it).

Cloudtops are awesome. I'm so glad I had my camera. :D

PICS LATER. NOT YET THOUGH CUS I HAVE TO FINISH THE STUPID CARTOON.
