Perfectly Positive Monday #5
It’s another glorious Monday. It’s not below freezing. It almost seems like Spring is here. Yay!
Writing Life…
I just need to add a few lines to chapters seven and eight. Then I can move on and figure out how to rewrite nine. I’ve rewritten it a number of times and it feels… I dunno, too soon. It’s a great scene but it’s in the wrong place. My favorite thing I’ve written in chapter nine is this:
She picked up the book next to her feet and played with the edges of the pages. “Tell me about your life, Conor. Got any dirty secrets or illegitimate babies?
His head snapped up. “Uhm, no.”
“Huh. That’s boring. Let’s try something else. Are you into any of the following?” She began counting off on her fingers. “BDSM, Clown fetishism or toe shrimping?”
Flushing an adorable shade of pink, he took a long time before responding. “I’m not even sure what two of those things are. But I’m going to go ahead and say no to all of them.”
“Good, good,” she leaned toward him. “Now that I’ve warmed you up with my famous charm, what are doing these days? For a job?”
I think it’s my goal to mention as many sexual fetishes/positions I can in one novel 😀
The Rest of Life…
Season four of Archer is on Netflix so life is officially decent. But the best thing was getting my Android fixed. For two years I’ve had problems with my cell phone. I took it into the phone store and they were like, “Bummer, want to look at a new one?” It started acting up again so I went in to look at a new phone and the very nice guy behind the counter was like, “First you need a new battery. Also, it’s no wonder you hate Droids now, you have model X. That is the buggiest, worst Android ever made. It needs to be updated but its so buggy you can’t update it online.” So he took my phone away for a half hour, updated the OS on their computer and gave me a new battery, all for free. Now it’s like a completely new phone! Seriously, the look of the desktop is different, the texting is totally different. It’s awesome. That saved us a lot of money. Which is good, because my poor little 2.1Ghz desktop PC is dying. She makes weird wheezing sounds and has quit running Sims 2 altogether. Minecraft is running like an arthritic, old lady in a sack race. So, we ordered a custom desktop PC last week and it cost quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. But we are getting a BEAST with a lot of ram, a faster processor, 2TB hard drive, graphics card with 4G on board memory. It’s sweeeeet. Should be here by the end of the month.
Shit I love…
Archer’s Krieger. He’s not an actual doctor but he is dangerously unstable and has access to millions of dollars worth of lab equipment. He just wants what any clone of Hitler would want; to tape bum fights for his own sick pleasure, make genetically modified animal versions of himself, and use his unwitting coworkers to test the highly suspect drugs he’s making.
Finally got around to watching Season 2 of Sherlock and I’m sad I didn’t do it sooner. The sheet scene just killed me.
My new skin care routine for my sensitive, combination skin is working! Very excited to not feel so rough and scaly.
