Mm. Yep. That's what I'll be doing tonight. And then fanfic reading, go~ Also...my new remote, which matches the puter. Now if I could just figure out why both remotes have decided to stop working... It wouldn't work, then worked once, then... Won't work again. Muy confused. :(

...And that is all.

...Note from this point on, it's me chattering on writing for posterity and giggles (not so much) when I realize I should have painted an L on my forehead and been done with it.

So, just sort of analyzing the first 15 days of Nano...

Number of days goal was met: 11
Number of days goal was not met: 4
Number of days goal was exceeded by 500+ words: 5

Highest one day word count: 4024
Lowest one day word count: 18

Average per-day word count: 1800

...And then I immediately failed to make my goal on the 16th. Good job, me.


...It's not fair that every time I hear a couple songs I got "OH HENHAE MUST WRITE." And despite the fact that I have advice in my head for many writing situations, including the "Oh crap what do I do I have so much to write and no idea where to start..." (punctuation omitted for brain spasm purposes) ...Which is more or less the feeling I get when I open up the HenHae and the HanKyu as well. And in theory, I know how to kick myself out of that.

...Though I think I've figured out how to ease my mind on the HanKyu...and that's just not to write more than a scene or two on the trip from the house in the forest to Kyu's home, because it's really not that important. This is important to me, because...

I haaaaate writing journey stories. The first real novel I set out to write, besides being kind of limpid character wise, was about 50% just a journey. And my brain went "EEK, shut down." I wanted to write the second story so badly because no one was traveling. Not even the mermaid plot tempted me like that one. One of my favorite GW ideas, of Heero and the wings, also was mostly journey and I'll note that it never...got finished.

...The current SiHan is a journey story. More or less. But it's not going to be novel length. I'm coping. But I still get knots in my stomach. I need to read a whole bunch of books where people travel. But is there a genre for that? :| Sigh.

Okay. Back to the real world...

Jealous! I hear the Blu Ray extras are quite awesome. I have to walk to Best Buy ASAP to get a copy of this.

I am watching the extras as we speak... though I'm not positive what it has that the others don't. Still.

Though. First time I've heard a producer type person refer to two main characters and how they "fell in love, in a way" and then pull back. Not in the romantic sense! Butch and Sundance!

...I can assure you I was rolling all over the couch. Good one, bud.

(I teared up at the end again. ahaha.)

I think it has extra clips and diagrams of the ships or something. I'm not sure. I read the article a couple days ago and I've been drinking.

First time I've heard a producer type person refer to two main characters and how they "fell in love, in a way" and then pull back.

Yes, in a way that makes them want to declare their eternal, undying love, get naked, and engage in hot monkey space sex. We all know, Mr. Producer Man. (I totes ship Bones/Spock in the original series, though. ...Okay, and Kirk/Spock. I'm equal opportunity.)

Ohh, I see.

Yes. Yes, you have that exactly right, haha. I mean, really. You can't focus the movie on them so much and not expect it. More for us, I suppose~ It's bad, cause I have things to write, I can't spent my life investigating fic. Sigh. I really need to watch more of the original series... I've seen veryveryvery little of it. Perhaps when I'm finished with this watch of TNG I will actually get there.

...Though. It appears the first season is available to watch on Netflix instantly for a time. Might have to step that plan up...
