liptonrm_backupIt's Good Friday and what did I do today? Let's see, I ate chocolate (OMG the fudge Reese's peanut butter eggs are the bestest thing EVAR!) and took a drive in the country to enjoy the burgeoning spring and read inappropriate fic. I should be ashamed and yet I'm not, at the moment. I'm strangely euphoric.
Must be the mood swings.
And now iTunes brings me Barenaked Ladies! WHEE!!! *does a goofy little dance*
I am stuck on my Ron fic 'cause he's supposed to blow up at his family now but the Weasley's are intimidating, yo. I'm not used to writing so many people into a scene and so it's aggravating. It's the catalyzing moment and so is nerve-wracking for the narrator. So instead of writing I ate a pastry. It was tasty.
I have decided that I have the most fun with Lost when I pretend what I would be doing during the episode if I were on the Island of Mystery. Like during Wednesday's when Bernard suggested the SOS on the beach I shouted "Like in 28 Days Later!" and only Hurley got the reference and nobody else paid any attention cause I'm always saying random stuff like that. Also, I've been taking care of Vincent because dogs are always able to boss me around like that. I am a sap.
I really want to be a producer so that I can turn good/interesting books into movies/mini-series. For example, Julian May's Pliocene Exile series isn't the greatest thing ever written but it would make a great mini-series. And I could do an adaptation of Ursula LeGuin's Wizard of Earthsea that doesn't suck (and I know that Studio Ghibli is releasing an adaptation but it's animated and so a different sort of thing). Oooo, and I could do the extremely faithful, non-singing adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. I adore the classic movie but it's not like the book really at all.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to break into the Hollywood system. I imagine it has something to do with moving to L.A. and working in someone's mail room which probably isn't going to happen anytime soon, what with law school and everything.
Did I mention that the Da called me on Thursday and offered me my old job for the summer? Yeah, apparently they're 'letting go' of the girl who replaced me. I still have no idea if I'm going to take it, if it's officially offered to me, though I'm leaning towards yes (money and health insurance are huuuuuuge draws).
My high school BFF is having a 'reaffirmation of her vows' (she's the one who got married at GenCon and didn't tell anyone) and I really want to get her a set of LotR goblets from the Noble Collection, even if they are $200. And then I talk myself out of it. I should just do it and stop angsting.
There, enough babble. As a gift this Good Friday eve I give you And the glory of the Lord from Handel's Messiah as performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Philadelphia Philharmonic.

athis family now," and was like WHOA UNEXPECTED.3. I would get your references! Or, at least, I would after a few second, when I totally miss them because my brain is funny and then I'd remember that I'd seen that movie and be like, "Ha ha ha ha 'HELLO!!'" and then you and Hurley and I would go get snacks.
4. Hollywood doesn't know what it's missing, baby.
5. Um... Yeah, that's all I got. Must clean a tiny bit before I go meet Debbie for pre-family drinks. Woo hoo! My frequent diner card is buying us champagne and dessert tonight!

Date: 2006-04-18 06:10 pm (UTC)2. Now I have to write the fic where Ron blows up his family. That's the angst that keeps on giving.
3. Snacks sound good. I think you, me, and Hurley just have to take over the Island. It would be more about the snacks and the snark and less about Jack and Kate stuck in a net.
4. I was discussing this with the Baylors and they were all, "And if Cynthia moves back west and then we move to Arizona we'll take over the world." Or something to that effect.
5. Have Fun with Family!
