Ducks: Queen of Frickin' Everything

I'm here in my ratty old La-Z-Boy, with The Pig on my lap (he's following me around like a puppy, poor honey. He thinks I'm going to leave him again.), watching Firefly and debating whether I want to start watching soaps again after having weaned off them for the past week.

I slept in my own bed and used my own bathroom, and I'm back in my usual environment, with the usual relative quiet. It's really nice to be home again. The only downside is that I miss my girls and I miss wireless internet. *sigh* The former more, of course. But the latter a lot too. It takes for-fucking-EVER for things to download! I had forgotten just how slow! And then there's the whole "can't connect when there's a problem with the phone" thing, and we have problems with the phone whenever it rains hard, I swear.

PLUS there's the additional, "Can't use the phone when someone's online" thing, which is a pain when my parents are getting ready to go on a trip themselves. *sigh*

Just because I have already written off LJ/6A doesn't mean all of my friends have. For those of you who continue to struggle to save fandom's place on LJ, synecdochic has some excellent advice on how to actually be heard. As amusing as the cat macros and singing "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" are, they really aren't productive.

So... Karl Rove has done all the possible damage he can, and now he's leaving the de facto presidency White House. Is this where I cry? 'Cause... nuh uh.

Dude! I haven't watched my soaps in a week, and it looks/feels more like a YEAR! Jeebus! I had forgotten how fast the craziness moves in Soap Land. People have like, been born and died, married and divorced, gotten locked in vaults or something. I don't fucking know, but eiyee! It seems like people have aged a lot, and someone who was newly pregnant last week is now showing.

It's like a Hell dimension -- time moves so weirdly there! It's full of demons and weirdos who like to torture you! And demon spawn brought about by mystical pregnancy!

Man am I tired. *yawn* I still haven't caught up on my friends' list, or had time to get any real work done. I'm gonna sleep the day away tomorrow, so I may not make a post then, either. Then Wednesday, I have treatment, and I'm always sleepy after that, so it may be DAYS before you see me again! *hugs you* I miss you! I miss being able to string thoughts together in a semi-coherent fashion. I miss Open_on_Sunday -- even if I don't get around to posting drabbles this week, I have to make time to comment!



1.) Fluff-a-thon fic - due Sept. 2
2.) Otherworld (original, sequel to THE VEIL)
3.) City of Night
4.) Bargaining Fixer

There are other ficathons coming up, and another novel desperately overdue, but let's just focus on those for now.

Which makes me even more tired. *sigh*

I think that's a sign that it's time for bed. 'Night!
