Unrelated: I am on a radio show! One of my LJ friends is the HBIC on it! Check it out!
( So I am posting PICS! )

I am just now un-neglecting my neglected NaNoWriMo story. I was at a SERIOUS wall, like, holy shit. But now that I have taken some time off, I am reconnecting with the plot and the characters and good stuff is leaking out.

I just got to 7,000 words. Will I be able to finish in 12 days? Probably not. But I will continue to give her hell!

SOME PEOPLE I KNOW have hit the 50,000 already. Which is awesome and inspiring, and I am pretty stoked to hear about a victory so soon in the game. :D

In the very least, I'd like to get to the halfway mark. That would be sweet enough for me.

(This renewed interest is brought on by a completion of Plants vs. Zombies and a distressingly low gamerscore on Xbox Live)

I don't have anything interesting to say/going on. Ah well. So here's this!

With the upcoming release of this film, and my love of apocalyptic movies, I figured this poll needed to happen!
Plus the year 2012 is drawing ever nearer, and I need to know who will be willing to attend my End Times Grill Fest with Lots of Beer and Rosarys. Haha. Ah.


Poll #1484212 2012: Doom or not?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 15

Do you think the world (as we know it, at least) will end in 2012?

I love my husband. :)

I survived the oysters! They were mighty tasty, too.

Now I am going to play Plants vs. Zombies for ten years and royally neglect my NaNoWriMo story. Meh.

:)

Also, this Pipsqueak is mine, and its pretty neat:


If I were like 8 and I saw these things, I would have been filled with desire for them all! Luckily for me, I am an adult now and can have one before Christmas. :) The best part is that the Zhu Zhu pets are pretty budget-friendly. Yay.

I spent some of my first paycheck on these:


(lemonade!)

and


(oysters)

Today is a good day!

But adorable:

Sometimes work gets a little crazy and unfun (usually when I am not working in the cafe, but up front being a General Wench) and it makes me kind of sad. I understand that we are understaffed, but fuck! It gets rough.

So I try to think about people I look up to. Like... KIMBO SLICE. And I consider the fact that maybe he didn't get to where he is today by having nothing but good, easy days. A crappy day will still pay off as much as a good day, if not more.

And then I feel better. :)

My friend grandpas_weiner posted a long time ago about how she misses so much [life action shit]during sleep.

I agree!

So I stayed up all night writing a little, goofing off quite a bit and being awesome a lot.

And now I am making a breakfast of chicken thigh and potatoes and coffee.

To post something that IS safe for work, I present a picture of my friend Jeremy:



He's in the Kuwait desert there. Looks...sandy.

Now he is in Iraq, doing boring stuff. Still he is a Marine and has to run 3 miles with his full pack every now and then.

Jeremy has been one of my Uber Friends since 2003.

I hope nothing bad happens to him in that sandy hot place.

As of right now (in the ever-so-idyllic Laundromat) I have 1,111 words written.

Only 48,889 more to go!

D:

I posted some pictures of the piggles on my Facebook if you're into THAT.

Here are my best self-pictures of how I look after going to work to deliver cupcakes!:
( Woo! I mean, Boo! )

Happy Halloweiner everyone! :D

Luckily for me, I have today off. I'm going to bake cupcakes and bring them to people at work. Apparently they are dressing up so I figgered I'd go say hi.

I'm going to dress up, too! I will do a rendition of the Black Dahlia. I don't want to be totally nasty and graphic, so I will dress 40's-ish (oh imagine that right?) and have a fairly gross Glasgow Grin. So sorta Zombie Elizabeth Short. I'll take pictures and share!

I don't know what I will do tonight though. I have to work tomorrow morning so I don't want to go carousing too much. *shrug*

Now to have a special time with my DS. I got Call of Duty 4 for it! I probably should have waited until after NaNoWriMo for this, but eh. I'll be able to balance things out well enough. I think. ;)

Who's doin' it?

Add me up on there if you are, I am lindsaylu.

Whee! I am sort of afraid that my brain will not be properly functioning from work to really do a good jorb on this project, but it is worth a shot. I'll give 'er hell. :)

It is also kind of scary that October is nearly over already. Srsly, where the heck did this month go?

I DRANK TOO MUCH OF THAT TONIGHT.

IT IS A COMMON SIDE EFFECT OF WORKING IN A COFFEESHOP SITUATION.

I HAVE TOMORROW OFF.

I FEEL HAPPY.

Work + Minimal Sleep = :(
For some reason, we've been understaffed this week and it has been STRESSFUL. And INSANE. And I'm not fully trained yet, so that is SCARY.

All I know is I have Saturday off. Sweet, sweet day off. And I've already had people asking me to cover for them that day. No way. I've already covered for someone this week, which is partly why I am so exhausted! Daaaaah!

Daaaaaah. I made up for some lost sleep last night, though, so work tonight ought to be manageable.

I have two boy pigs who need me, and make a lot of noise when I come home from work.

(I have two girl pigs, too, but they prefer to get photographed in the daylight when their beautiful colouring is showcased in certain light angles, as many ladies do, you know.)

I also have a fabulous husband who adores me, takes care of me, listens to me, appreciates me, waits for me, puts up with me, loves me, and ( takes naked pictures of himself (hopefully) for me: )
