TV and Writing

I decided to stop watching Law & Order reruns yet again. I periodically give them up so I won't spend so much writing time watching reruns on TV. But in addition to them being a huge time waster, I think all that violence is actually bad for me. Over time, I seem to be convinced that violent B&E's, tragic accidents, and all manner of incidental murder is lurking around every corner. I'm fairly sure I'm going to die every time I get into a car; and every time H leaves the house, I'm sure he's about to be robbed or hit by a car or something else terrible. As such, I'm going to stop perpetually watching shows where these things happen several times a night. I suspect that it will be good for me.

Speaking of writing time, I'm 1-2 chapters away from being finished with the third draft of The Cat's Apprentice. I'm also really excited about outlining the next project. The writing in general has been going fast and really, really well. Yay!!! Everything is being locked posted over at wednes_writes and is available for your reading pleasure as soon as you join.

As for television, FOX cartoons were quite funny tonight. Family GUy in particular was harsh and laughworthy. I was glad to see new King of the Hill (which I did not know were coming until today) Although Peggy Hill's insecurity and ignorance are fairly tired gags even after the long break between seasons. Everything else on FOX cartoon night was comedy gold.

ROME also served up the craziness. Lots of naked men tonight, hot ones. And I'm really glad to see that the Vorena are likely to be found. It would have been really horrible just to have them sold as slaves and that's it. I guess we'll get to see the new Octavian next week. That'll be awesome. I'm trying to resist going over to Wikipedia to read up on my Roman history so I'll know what's coming. I have a feeling Marc Antony and Cleopatra are totally going to get together. Though I would not be at all bummed if Atia happened to die, I don't think she will.
Also, Extras tonight had Daniel Radcliffe as the guest. Apparently he likes cigarettes and women and that's basically it. Anyway, it was damn funny.

This was kinda fun

H has been gone all day, not sure what he's up to. I'm going to try to work on my last chapter and maybe get a bite on the outline for my serial killer story.

Are YoYo's a stupid gift for male wedding attendants?
I think it's a cool gift, but I never know.

I'm also not sure if I want to plan for the ceremony outside or in the loft at Cobblestone Farm. Since it'll be October, it may rain, but it may not. I also don't know where I'd want to set it up. I hate all this decision making stuff. I wish I had someone around to help.

Tomorrow I will find out who my new job developer is. Hopefully it will be someone who knows how to develop a job for me. I'm sick of being not quite right for every single job I apply for. I have a bunch of wedding stuff to buy and I won't get my badass blue and silver cloak if I don't have a job. ;-[
