dust and water

So I am struck by the realization that chapters in Dust would be longer if I actually added in the sex, rather than the subtext. Then I remembered that I'm writing a Tirian POV, so it wouldn't actually help this chapter so much. *sigh*

( Be Like Water tease of the day )

And yes, before anyone says anything, I voted. I actually voted last week; my entire county is mail-in, and my mother sent my ballot here. I am relatively sure it's not going to get nailed for coming with a New Orleans postmark, because they said it was fine when my dad went in to get his absentee ballot.

Forget Dust, Water needs black powder. *sad* But they don't know how to make it, so. Stuff just burns instead of exploding, even if the explosion would be so much cooler.

revelation of the day

Glozelle is awesome, and Caspian kind of hero-worshipped him before the whole "I am going to shoot you full of crossbow bolts" thing. That pretty much put a damper on that relationship.

18,210 / 50,000 (36.4%)

this is not a new thing

Peta and Caspian are freaking awesome, and I love them.

Also, Glozelle? Still awesome.

Oh my God, I don't think I can watch the election coverage and stay sane. *whimpers*

ETA: Oh! You know what makes it even worse? My state is on the Left West Coast, and I won't know for ages yet who our next governor is going to be! ARGH. *runs in circles*

ETA2: YAHOO YOU ARE NOT HELPING OH MY GOD.

nearly as exciting as voting!

Just signed up for Yuletide, for the first time ever! And y'all know what? King's Quest is a fandom!

Look, I loved King's Quest as a kid. Loved, loved, loved. Hell, I used to carry the user manuals around and read them for kicks. The eps I had were VI and VII, and I used to play them all the time. I had forgotten just how much I loved that game until I saw it on Yuletide. And according to Wikipedia (okay, I know, scary words), it got re-released for play on XP! Except. Would that work on Vista? Because Vista is what I have. Really, I just want to be able to play VI and VII, and especially VII. *wistful*

Fuck.

For the love of God, let us have taken the governorship in Washington, at least. I hear the campaign in Washington has been really nasty, and I'd like a governor who did not make a laughingstock out of my graduation requirements OR the wishes of my county, thank you very much.

i, um, a miscellaney at midnight?

HOW IS YAHOO!MAIL HAVING PROBLEMS? oh my god i could have important e-mails! at midnight, yes, i know, shut up.

sorry for the ten million posts today, including the first politics ones of the year. no more. until the results from the -- oh, god, why do i look, gregoire is leading. NO THANK YOU PLEASE. i would like a governor who respects my county's opinion, if it's NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE.

i mean. i was not going to talk about politics anymore. *beats head into wall*

i would offer up peta/caspian in apology, but right now peta is unconscious and caspian is exhausted, so there goes that.

proper capitalization to return tomorrow, with sanity. or insanity, rather. HEY GUYS LET'S TALK NARNIA? HOW 'BOUT THEM PEVENSIES?

whoa. whoa, washington voted yes for legalizing assisted suicide. dude, i remember when we were talking about this in my ap junior english class. we are the second state in the country to do that! right after our crazy pal to the south, oregon.

dude, if this gubernatorial race plays out the same way it did last time, i am going to be pissed. it was messy last time, the campaigns have been brutal this time, and everyone's bet is that the race will be messy this time. (same two candidates, by the way.)

okay. politics? over.

HEY. LET'S TALK GLOZELLE/PETER GUYS. BECAUSE Y'ALL KNOW THAT GLOZELLE IS EXACTLY PETER'S TYPE.

insanity, i know. please to be pretending this post didn't happen, thanks muchly.
