Ride On

Got myself a one-way ticket
Goin' the wrong way.
Gonna change my evil ways
One of these days.
-- AC/DC, Ride On

Okay, it's not a Larry-caliber pun. Cut me some slack.

So the proverbial bug's still up my literal ass with regard to my writing. I finished touching up what I have for my latest story tonight, and it's ready for me to forge on ahead. Did some light editing to a few points as I transcribed it (in its latest form) into my favorite journal. Formatted it according to the decision I reached with Coyote the other week. Even managed to write the scene that's been intimidating me all these months, and I'm fairly happy with it... though the bulk of what had been intimidating me about the scene has been shuffled off to bookends that'll be added to the story in its new form after I finish the main body. So there's that. Oh well... we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, I've started the next scene, which very likely will be the last of the story, so we're getting there. Progress.

Things I Hate That the Rest of You People Seem To Love for Some Damn Reason:

• Salma Hayek
• Dark City
• The Goonies

What else am I missing, guys? I know there's more. Does Dark City even count? I barely remember the movie. I only remember hating it, actually. And I watched it the week of a really bad breakup. So maybe it's an association thing? I need to rewatch it. Been meaning to for a long time. But, you know. Hate. It doesn't have Salma Hayek in it, right? In that case, it may be safe.

Got my new hard drive from IT today. It was in my hot little hands less than 24 hours after I reported that the old one was failing. Most impressed with them, and more than a little surprised. Spent most of the work day getting the computer back up and running, and was mostly successful in keeping the changes from being visible at all to my users. Probably the only change any of them will notice is the password to access the machine. The new security policies on the box prohibit the old one. I managed to cheat and give it an empty password, which will hopefully mitigate the inconvenience.

I had a long conversation with fiberferret about erections tonight. My friends are awesome.

Which reminds me, I've decided that we could all get rich by starting a Porn Insurance company. Our (very reasonably priced!) Porn Insurance policies will ensure that, in the event of our clients' deaths, one of our agents will remove all their porn before their moms find it. Who's in?

Already linked this on my website, but there's... carry the one... one of you here that I might have missed, so go watch this video. It's work-safe, but wear headphones. I'm told that her vagina is 8 miles wide. Metaphorically speaking. Or something.
