Woot Woot and Yay!!

Very little has been going on with me aside from work and writing. But the writing is going smashingly. I'm taking all the notes I'll need to go through and revise this thing after I'm done with my serial killer. I'm really excited about him and how he's going to end up. All my characters are right where I need them to be.

My kitchen flood is mostly cleaned up. I'm hoping H will finish all the dishes tomorrow. We had to rewash everything in two cupboards and a drawer, which is 90% of the pots, pans and storage containers all full of disgusting filthy water. Maintenance didn't even bring by a wet/dry vac. Bastards!

Here's the Friday Five:

What made you happy this week?

Getting new socks from my Aunt as an early birthday present.

What made you sad?

My work friend having a terrible personal tragedy.

What made you angry?

H, being a minor jerk about something important to me.

What are you looking forward to in the next week?

My birthday party, and dinner with my Brother.

What are you not looking forward to?

Working Saturday 10-5 ick!

Holy Flip Flapping Crap!!

It's three days before my birthday, and I'm already being showered with gifts.

My Aunt got me some super comfy socks that I am loving to death. She also got me The Strangers which is terrifying, and the Horror Writer's Association's book about writing horror. I can't wait to dive into it.

Then, one of my admirers who shall remain nameless got me, get this...

An XBox 360!!! There's also an extra controller and chargers and stuff, plus a subscription to Xbox Live for a year. It comes with some games: Kung Fu Panda game and some kind of Indiana Jones lego game. Plus I got Left 4 Dead which is the newest zombie game out. I'm gonna set it up and get it working, but then I'll have to lay off of it until after the NaNoWriMo is over. Can't get blown off course now by kick-ass toys. Well, maybe for a little while, but then I'll have to catch up.

Anyway, I'm fairly blown away by all that.

In other news, my kitchen is slowly getting put back together after the Great Flood of 2008. I'll be making a pineapple cake later for the party tomorrow. Everyone loves my pineapple cake, so I like to make it every now and again. This will likely be my last party for a while unless I do something for New Years Eve. People should start thinking about whether I should have people over, or if someone else wants to do something.
