01. Give me ten one-word prompts for a fandom/character/pairing of your choice.
02. I'll write one/two sentences for each of those prompts.

Yes, this is probably a bad idea... but icarus_chained never ceases to amaze me with the AWESOME of such a simple prompt. Not to mention that she makes me wish there really was a CSI:NY/TMNT crossover. Even more than my cracky SG-1/TMNT crossover.

Anyway...

There's going to be an encore of The Wizard of Oz in theaters on Tuesday!!

6:30 is a fairly crappy time, due to my schedule... but the AMC in Altamonte is showing, so I might just have to detour on the way home... Here's the list of participating theaters.

For the love of Frank Morgan... I got ONE wrong. *facepalm*


Boondock Saints 2 is also hitting a second round of theaters. STILL none in Florida. Bastards.

The brother heard a review the other day that said the movie is for the fans. Non-fans just won't get it and it's crap, but the fans will love it. Duh! The fans are the reason it was made and that critic probably didn't get the first one. Clearly.

Hit 10,000 words last night/this morning for NaNo. And the prompt_in_a_box posts killed me... but I'm a masochist like that... %]. Now, to go distract myself some more...

I think I got 12to32 all caught up last night. Maybe.

I'd love to get the random scenes that are done figured out and posted, but there's still too many holes. And posting it as-is would do you no good, because you don't know where the story is/was at the time of the scene. And you thought following the boys and Shimmery was confusing! :p Even *I* don't know where stuff goes, sometimes.

Anyway...

naturalbluicons made the mistake of directing my attention to an icon table generator, so I spent most of last night neatening up the icon posts. I finally had to give up, for the sake of my knuckles and knees. I really need a proper computer desk and chair. *sigh*

I also need a second monitor at home. Work has spoiled me. Maybe I'll ask Dad to see if he can get a deal on two... *ponders* Not that I have anywhere to put a second monitor...

Today's plan is to get characteraday and tinman_fic updated. Posts for prompt_in_a_box are already done. If I can manage to come up with something for my last prompt, all the better! %]

Mom called five times in a hour - mostly in search of a triangular trashcan. Yes, that's my mom... *eyeroll* She managed to find something close enough at K-Mart, so she's happy. Me... I'm hungry.

Some slightly time-sensitive pimping:
* Challenge 24 is open at woz_stills
* VOTING is open for Challenge 46 at disneychrtricon
* VOTING is open for Round 3B at tm_challenge
* Round 20 at prompt_in_a_box closes TONIGHT.

EDIT: characteraday update is done. *dies*
EDIT 2: *undies* tinman_fic update is done. *dies again*

And I got some fic caught up, reading-wise. rissy_james, you know I love you. I will get it read. If it kills me. o.O

Not the bestest ever, but I am learning.

The Christmas season is upon us again, and Dorothy and her friends enter the contest of a lifetime.

The band that scores the most points in the 2009 Rockband Christmas competition will be the opening act for some very special guests at the Annual Claus Christmas Jamfor Santa.

As Dorothy and her friends start to practice, they find themselves in conflict about who’s playing better. They will never win if they dont start to work together. As they argue, an unknown power intervenes and sucks them into the land of Clauz. They must now go on a journey of discovery and adventure to find their way home once again.

But...it wont be easy. There is an evil witch standing in their way. And if she has anything to do with it, they will never see home again. Dorothy and her friends must work together and use their wits, heart and courage to make it home.

Come join us in the Land of Clauz.

I almost want to know....

Voting goes through to Saturday and it is CLOSE. Go and vote!

I have Pepsi - and found a second one in the back of the fridge - and a Snickers protien bar; was stuck in traffic - 3.5 miles in almost 30 minutes - it was AWESOME; and I now have 16 pages of Canada.

The brother just informed me that the call was good, but he doesn't know how it "really went". Duh, stupid. You're not supposed to... *eye roll*

I sped-watched the epic CSI crossover last night, between the computer and the DVR - and I was FAR too excited to see Wyatt Halliwell on CSI: Miami, and Badger on CSI.

And Supernatural was kinda made of win. Sadly, I'm starting to recognize Canada's other 12 actors, as the one boy is mini!Lex on Smallville. And Badger was in next week's preview. And was that Jo?? *crosses fingers* Speaking of Supernatural, I am loving the fun being poked at the fandom. I do wonder what those guys are like on set, between takes...

To the Tin Man crew: moony_blues is taking a chance and left midnight_burn and I in charge of tm_challenge. \O/ We're going to brainstorm some ideas this weekend, schedules pending, but if you have any ideas for a challenge you'd like to see, just call me Johnny-5. NEED INPUT

Some pimping:
* Challenge 24 is open at woz_stills
* Challenge 46 is still open at disneychrtricon -CLOSES TONIGHT-
* VOTING is open for Round 3B at tm_challenge
* Round 20 at prompt_in_a_box closes tomorrow night.
* A no-pressure 100-word prompt table is up at characteratplay. The only rule is that there are no rules. Okay, there's a few rules, but it's more housekeeping than anything. Feel free to give it a gander. It's not specific for characteratplay, but that was the easiest place to host it. There will be a Tin Man specific table appearing at tm_challenge, soon... ish.
* characteraday is ALWAYS open and - always - no pressure.

In other news, I have two things to beta, tables to prepare for prompt_in_a_box, tables to update for characteraday and memories to update at tinman_fic. On top of that, I have to look into the possibility of other modly duties over at skyehawk.

And there's things to be written... *sigh* And we wonder why I have anxiety? O.o

Learning process, the duplicates are actually one normal and one of the metallo cap done as oil texture to match the painted look of the last supper. It doesn't show up as well as I'd like :( Live and learn.

BERFDAY!!

Happiest Birthday wishes go out to misshapenmuse (aka saphiralupin)!

I hope you have a great day!!

I can't find an embed yet, so have a link to Little Jimmy Dickens pulling a Kanye on Brad Paisley. :)

Just after I posted, I became slightly nauseous. Figured it was just because I'd been up so early and had the panic attack, etc., at midnight.

Ended up lying down for 10 minutes and woke up about an hour later.

#1 Was going to make me late for work. Since it was before I'm normally there, I sent an email stating that I was going to be late, but on my way. I figure email will get checked before voice mails are sorted through.

#2 Get to work to find an email stating that I need to call if I'm going to be late. Stomach ache returns in full force.

#3 Get out of work email and into Yahoo to find another email stating that emails were received out of order, so I'm okay for being late, since I did check in.

*headdesk*

Stomach ache hasn't gone away. I did eat a biscuit, but that only made things worse.

In other news, according to the nurse practitioner, I have anxiety. She used another term that started with a T, but I didn't retain it. Anxiety, panic attack.. whatever. Ether way, I'll pass, thanks.

Can I have the weekend now? I have fic to not write...

In other other news: It's about 50 degrees, dreary, windy and trying to rain. Makes me feel like I'm back in Wyoming. *sigh* Anywhooo... I was supposed to do Wisconsin, but I'm going to trade for Wyoming because I feel like making myself homesick! :D

Love to you all..

I usually avoid award shows. I just don't care. However, last night was the final CMA performance of Brooks & Dunn. So I recorded and fast-forwarded, and I'm glad I did. Brad Paisley, while not my favorite singer, was hilarious.

The Divorce duet about B&D was fantastic, the gag about McGraw and Faith -the perfumes- not mixing well was hilarious... and Taylor. Oh, Taylor. \O/

And I saw Kimberly!! *<3s Kimberly Williams-Paisley*

But Little Jimmy Dickens definitely PWNED the evening when he pulled a Kanye :D

( neverending bills drama )

And, to top it off, I forgot to reset my alarm because I had to get up and tend to the Cafe on Facebook the other morning due to a timing error so I'm up damn early. But I can't go in early, because it wasn't approved 24 hours in advance, etc. Which is crap, because I got to work early yesterday, too.

On the bright side: Jewel Staite Twittered this:

Just found out Dollhouse was canceled. "SUMMERRRRRR!!!

God, do I love running gags. Now, Dollhouse isn't the best show on TV, but I finally had cracked and was getting into the storyline. But, bad news as it is for Joss & co., I'm going to dwell on the epic *gigglesnort* of the return of "SUMMERRRRRR!!"

What am I going to do for a damn hour? o.O
