Hey, remember King Absalian the Blind from Dust? I've been glancing over Old Timber since someone asked about it, and I just realized that I originally used the name there, for a Telmarine lord that fled Telmar after the old king was killed and the new king took over.

*facepalm* Smart, Bed. This is why you keep notes of your characters' names. I've done this before once that I know of them -- there's a Royal Guard named Hazhir, but the first time I used the name was for the Calormene ambassador at Cair Paravel in a commentfic.

On the other hand, looking at Old Timber (the Caspian in the Golden Age story) makes me remember just how much I need to rewrite. *sigh*

I am twenty-five words away from the minimum wordcount on my Theocritus essay. TWENTY-FIVE WORDS. (There is a very strict wordcount -- 1199-1299 words. I currently have 1174.)

*sigh* I should actually put in one more paragraph, but I'm still shocked by twenty-five words. Also, I can't think of anything else to write that doesn't risk going over the word limit.

And then I have to go gird my loins and go up to the Language Learning Center in Newcomb, which I went up to, then promptly fled before entering because hey! Tulane changed rooms, and this makes me incredibly bitter, and we have gone over what a headcase I am before, right? Except my Japanese listening homework is due tomorrow, so I kind of have to go in, oh, today. (Or tomorrow morning, but dude, I don't want to skip my Natural Disasters class, or even part of it. Not that it's a particularly interesting class; I usually spend it writing porn. Wait, that doesn't narrow my classes down any.)

Must do these two things. Must do these two things. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BEDLAM.

Meanwhile, I am stuck looking over my Amazon wishlist and figuring out what I want to buy. Why is everything I want only available in hardback? *makes faces*

ETA: Paper done and printed, although I realized right after I printed it that I hadn't proofread it, but hey! Let's hope it's good. Unfortunately, Tulane continues to hate me an enormous amount; I went up to the LLC (for the SECOND TIME -- let me emphasize that it is on the fourth floor and there is no elevator) and there is only one CD and it is IN USE. I'll go again in a bit, I suppose.

lassiterfics, I blame YOU if the following exchange makes it into Dust:

Susan: "Remember that time we were in Tashbaan?"
Peter: *winces* "I try not to."
Susan: "Oh, right, that was the time you got the clap from that tarkaan with the huge --"
Peter: "SUSAN."
Susan: *not missing a beat* "-- sword, and Lucy nearly spilled her cordial laughing when she had to dose you."
Tirian: "I feel my life would still have been complete without this knowledge."
Peter: "I miss the days when you said you didn't remember Narnia."
