Apollymi ::||:: Dark Passion Play

I guess everyone knows I've been following the Harry Potter Lexicon debacle.

Well, from the commentary I've been seeing coming down on SVA and RDR's side, all I have to say is that I hope I don't end up making a lot of money with my writing. It seems that most of the people supporting him object to JKR winning because she has a lot of money.

Soooo apparently, by that logic, copyright only matters if you're a starving writer. Never you mind that if you're a starving writer, you probably don't have the following for this kind of wankery scholarship.

Onto another subject: I'm a little ticked at Dreamhost. It ended up taking 20 hours for them to update the password to one of my email addresses. It's working now, but still... It's only supposed to be "a few minutes", in their words, not nearly a whole day.

But on a happier note, I have a pleased orange tomcat in my lap who is giving of much love. He's very warm though, and it's very hot today. He may have to be evicted soon.

We got one load of laundry (Doc) and all the sweeping and mopping (me) done. For tonight/tomorrow, that leaves cleaning the kitchen counter and sanding the door jams where the kitties have relieved their stress.

Well, I'm obviously back in Florida. I'm still not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I had to come back to earn money. On the other hand, my sister can be a lazy mofo and not stay at a job more than two months. Why can't I? But on the other hand, I know money is good and, if I want to continue to have money and spend money, I can't be like my sister and steal, beg, and borrow money -- I have to earn it. But I really want to be at home or at my grandparents' right now.

This is a dilemma.

In other news, the wank that never ends has made CNN.com. Yep, CNN, late as usual. We've been following it on Fandom Wank since November. Because Cleolinda is cool like that.

I don't know about LJ. I'm still debating on LJ. I might do a post in the next week or two, and determine how much I want to stay there based on said post's responses. In other words, leave it in the hands of the LJ FList. Maybe with a pretty gigantic Friends Cut, I could be persuaded to return on a more full time basis. There is a great deal of venom that circulates that list. Not like here. Here, we have kitties.

Since I was at the grandparents' having fun and stuff all weekend, I got no writing done. In fact, I barely got any reading done. I barely finished Dead Beat, but now I'm finally started on Proven Guilty. My gods, that book is HUGE. Maybe it'll actually take me a bit to finish it.

And I've been typing for a bit over an hour (I keep getting distracted), so I'm going to shut up and bugger off now.

Ciao!

This isn't a real update, since the most I have to report is that Paula doesn't seem very happy and I really hope I'm not part of the problem. But mostly, I want to say a few random things.

I have new icons! This is one of them (and cleverly relates to the rest of the post). Okay, they're all the Ninth Doctor, but what can I say? I have a favorite.

I asked katsuko the other day, if I was a Marauder, which one would I be? She was quiet for a while, long enough that I had to ask, "Not James, right?" Finally she responded, no, not James. Apparently, if I'm any of the Marauders, I'm Sirius. I can definitely live with this.

I'm 49 pages into the transliteration for Dance in the Vampire Bund. I need to do 40 pages a day, like I did Tuesday, a few more times, and I'll be finished. Then in three months, I can get paid. Hurray for getting paid. (I almost typed "laid" instead of "paid" there. Amusing typo.)

I have a headache. Chocolate and caffeine does not help it. This sucks.

I'm re-re-re-reading (probably a few more "re"'s on there, but I got tired of typing it) the movie tie-in book to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I like it. It ties in the first movie and the future, in addition to telling the story of the second movie.

My keyboard's left arrow key keeps sticking. It's very annoying.

We moved my desk at work. I am now in what I like to call the Seat of Power: the main desk in the Admin Office. Très spiffy.

And that's about it. Ciao.
