If you want to laugh over how the 'other side' lives, i.e., your husband, boyfriend or significant other, while you're indulging in all the Twilight stuff out there, definitely check out this blog.
Twilight Widowers Anonymous
It's hilarious! And I pimped it out on the podcast, which should have a new episode up sometime tonight.

April?? WTH?
When did April sneak up and kick me in the ass? Not cool, April. Our friendship is over. No more enjoying your showers or looking for Easter eggs for us. We're done. You're supposed to at least let your 'friends' know when you're coming, not just show up and crash the party. Did you lose my cell number or something?
Besides my anger at April, life is... eh. Work, boyfriend, reading, podcast, occasionally writing, trying to find a balance between all that and keeping up with my friends - the list can go, but I'll stop there.
I finished Chapter 16 of 'I've Been Looking For You'. Now I'm just waiting for vjgm to validate it so I can post it over on FFn. Also working on Chapter 12 of 'Resident Geek' and outlining my Twilight Gift Exchange story so I can start working on that in between my other stuff. (Dear lord, why do I agree to more?)
We recorded episode 12 for the podcast this past Saturday, and it should be out soon. I'm really excited about this week's subject cuz we're FINALLY talking about slash! (One of my favorite subjects. Hah!)
The boyfriend's camping, starting tonight. I'm going to have three blissful nights to myself! (You'd understand that excitement if you lived with someone and you value your personal space every once in a while.) I'm hoping those nights will be spent writing and catching up with everything I need to do.
Here's to hoping!

Holy Headache, Batman
I'm getting sick.
Gah!
I can feel my nasal passageway closing by the second and the headache that won't die pounding away between my temples. And what really sucks about all of this? I have to pull a 10 hour work day tomorrow.
Anyone want to trade places?
On the RG front, I found and downloaded a copy of the Player's Handbook and I'm slowly making my way through it. I have to stop every five pages or so because my head starts hurting too much. (Partly from the headache and partly because D&D is too damn confusing when you first start out.) I just thank my lucky stars that I played WoW for as long as I did and can understand the basic jest of it right away. It's the little things that drive me up a wall. Like, the three basic principles from which all over rules stem from. One) Simple rules, many exceptions. Meaning, there may be a rule that says you can't learn advanced sword skills without first learning basic skills, BUT if you're a... whatever you may innantely know advanced sword skills. Two) Specific rules beat generic rules. Basically, if there's a rule that says you can't use a power when it's charging and you have a specific rule on your arcane blast that says you can. Then you can. Three) Always round down with fractions. (This one I'm actually fine with.)
It's freakin' principles one and two that make my head spin.
So... what they're trying to say is anything can go, as long as you keep track of it and know when you can break the rules.
Which is confusing as hell to me.
Rules are rules, people. You're not supposed to have so many damn exceptions to every rule. If you do, then they shouldn't be called RULES. They should be called guidelines.
...I may feel a little strongly about this, in case you couldn't tell.
Anyhoo, the chapter is inching along. I think I'm going to focus on IBL4Y whenever I get stuck on something for RG and have to wait for Dolle to get back to me.
Oh, and the seventh episode of the podcast is up. (The one where I get interviewed. Egads!) We got some awesome graphics up on the page now. Makes us seem more legit.

I'm going to kill my internet
I swear, I am. It keeps dipping in and out. About every five seconds, it looses connection. And then gets it back. And this just keeps happening, over and over and over... and over.
GRR.
VERY frustrating.
I even tried to overcome this crappy internet connection by going to Panera Bread to use their free internet for the podcast episode recording. But Panera Bread failed me. Apparently they kill their wireless around their 'busy time' (ie, lunch time) to make the freebie lurkers move on.
Double GRR.
And I'm not kidding or exaggerating. My internet connection died while I typed this up.
Yeah... not cool.
I've been writing a little of RG's next chapter. It's pretty slow going because every new paragraph brings five to ten questions with it that I have to ask Dollegirl (my D&D expert). And there's a certain scene that comes along later in the story which will not get out of my head, so I had to write it all down. Very unusual for me to write an entire scene like that outside of the story sequence.
The boyfriend's out of town today. I miss him. *sigh*
Anyhoo, that's all I've got.

Eek
I forgot to post the last two days. My bad.
So, we recorded a new episode of the podcast. It's up and everything. We had a special guest on: withthevampsofcourse! She's rock awesome and I love her to death.
Also, I've been working on the next chapter of RG and I'm almost done with the pre-edited version. Just two more steps to go through and you'll get a new update!
Caitlin was interviewed for the Twilighters Anonymous Podcast and she briefly talks about our favorite fanfictions and plugs our podcast. Her interview is in the first part, near the end. Check it out.
That's all I got. Later.

OME, an update??
The fifth episode of the podcast is up! I know we're late this week, but there's a good reason for it.
I finished the second book of Mortal Instruments and now I'm waiting here, semi-patiently, tapping my fingers on the desk, for the third book to be released in two months. TWO, damn it.
And the major news of the day, I posted Chapter 15 of I've Been Looking For You. It's up on Twilighted and FF as of now. (Ugh, the drama! Hah.)
I feel almost like an evil scientist for posting something so angsty and then just leaving it on a cliffhanger. ...and I'm loving the reviews I'm getting. *insert evil laugh here*
Until tomorrow, mwah!

Procrastination, What's Your Function?
I'm procrastinating... again.
There's just something about my first story, I've Been Looking For You, that holds me up every time I want to start writing again.
GRR.
On to other news, we recorded episode five of the podcast yesterday. And then Caitlin, Claire and I proceeded to waste the rest of the day talking to each other about random things. (Danielle had to leave.)
I have to work today (just like any other weekday) and I'll try to work on Chapter 15 tonight, if we're slow at work.
Love.
*EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm starting a new series called 'The Mortal Instruments' by Cassandra Clare, thanks to several recommendations from various people. AND, drum roll please, I'M GOING TO TWI-CON!
That's right, folks. I secured my place at Twi-Con 2009.
...are you going?
