amused[08:05]
jmeadows: maybe I should shower and see if this book wants to tell me what it wants to do[08:05]
jmeadows: :|[08:14]
matociquala: hee[08:14]
matociquala: foolish withholding book.[08:14]
matociquala: I should shower and eat, I mean feed, this cat[08:21]
jmeadows: aw, kitty[08:21]
jmeadows: the shower failed me[08:21]
jmeadows: and did not reveal the book[08:22]
jmeadows: but did reveal a wad of hair stuck in the drain[08:22]
jmeadows: urk[08:28]
matociquala: URK![08:28]
matociquala: The internets, however, save me.[08:28]
matociquala: Because I can order my mailers from Office Despot online and get free delivery tomorrow.[08:28]
matociquala: And so the ranch was saved.[08:29]
jmeadows: yay internets![08:48]
matociquala: Okay, now that the ranch is saved, I can wash my hair and put on pants.[08:59]
jmeadows: *returns*[09:02]
matociquala: clean![09:03]
jmeadows: yay![09:03]
matociquala: shiny![09:03]
jmeadows: did your shower tell you my plot?[09:03]
matociquala: Um.[09:04]
matociquala: Is your plot girl meets seahorse scrubbie, they have wacky adventures with rubber ducky?[09:04]
jmeadows: hm, not as far as I know[09:04]
matociquala: Then it must have told me stillsostrange's plot. *g*[09:05]
jmeadows: heee[09:05]
matociquala: I figured out part of my Chill plot last night in the car, though. So go me.[09:05]
jmeadows: yes, that sounds like stillsostrange's plot :D[09:05]
jmeadows: oooh! yay![09:05]
matociquala: Because right now it's just a series of unfortunate events, and it needs to be a plot.[09:05]
jmeadows: *nod*[09:05]
jmeadows: when do you have to start writing it again?[09:05]
matociquala: Aaand I need to put pants on and braid my hair and switch to the laptop and get some Work done.[09:05]
matociquala: Um.[09:06]
matociquala: Sometime after Viable Paradise.[09:06]
matociquala: I have a bunch of short stuff to do now.[09:06]
jmeadows: (that's what always bothered me about the title of that lemony snicket book, aside from anything named lemony snicket -- a series of unfortunate events isn't plot.)[09:06]
jmeadows: *nod*[09:06]
matociquala: And I might start rewriting The Sea thy Mistress if I have time.[09:06]
jmeadows: *laffs* yes, if you have time o.o[09:06]
matociquala: Because I know what happens in that, I just have to write the grownup version, and not the This Is My Second Novel Now With Angst! version.[09:07]
jmeadows: *nod*[09:08]
matociquala: See, I figured out that if Tristen knows about The Thing In The Basement and isn't telling anyone, that's tension, and tension is like plot.[09:09]
matociquala: And Tristen might know about TTITB, because he's old.[09:09]
matociquala: And that gives him something to think about besides Widower Angst[09:09]
jmeadows: new angst is good[09:09]
matociquala: Because right now all the book has is Widower Angst and Divorce Angst and Bad Breakup Angst[09:09]
matociquala: Bear, your issues are showing. *g*[09:10]
jmeadows: *offers paint*[09:10]
matociquala: Hee.[09:10]
matociquala: *paints it over with Abusive Parent Angst*[09:10]
matociquala: *adds a nice contrasting trim*[09:10]
jmeadows: this just gets more and more fun! :P[09:11]
matociquala: What do you think about something in a Valiant But Inevitably Futile Death?[09:11]
matociquala: Or should I save that for the drapes?[09:11]
jmeadows: drapes, definitely [09:12]
jmeadows: Why not try the floor with Missed Opportunities?[09:12]
matociquala: Oh, that'll tie it to the kitchen.[09:12]
matociquala: Score![09:12]
jmeadows: and the kitchen is...?[09:12]
matociquala: Mostly What Could Have Been.[09:13]
jmeadows: ooh, that's perfect[09:13]
matociquala: With the counters in Deep Regrets.[09:13]
matociquala: *rearranges the deck chairs*[09:13]
matociquala: Pay no attention to that iceberg behind the curtain. I mean drapes.Okay, gotta work now.
