beckymonsterAm still about - just been roaring around doing other things in the last couple of days. Haven't written a damn word since Thursday. Something for which I think the muse is thankful for;) I will make my deadlines and I will continue on my other stories too. Hell, the bunnies are multiplying as we speak...
So what else have I been doing?
- Christmas shopping has been committed (makes a face). I have the non-fiscal stuff for everyone sorted out apart from the Father Unit. Will speak to the Mother Unit about that.
- Went to Brighton for the day. Great for shopping, the sea and seeing some really *weird* sights. Such as a body modification shop with a line of dildos in the window!
- Went to see Casino Royale. A full review will follow but... is now a good time to admit that I have a weakness for blond secret agents? Illya Kuryakin, Alec Trevelyan and now the Daniel Craig version of Bond. Dear lord, I think he was trying to go for Hugh Jackman's record for the amount of time spent onscreen with no shirt on.
- Working on putting together my Librarything list done. Bit like the DVD list (see right) but this one is for books... and therefore is going to take a hell of a lot longer. One reason is that I can go into a DVD store and not be tempted (mainly because I think "oh I can get this from x online store, cheaper"), which means that my dvd collection is about a third of the size of my DVD collection. Books are a lot harder; it's nearly impossible for me to go into a bookshop and not (at very least mentally) walk out with at least one book. And because it's a bit too much like work!;)
So if you want to be nosey - click on the linkie, stage right!
Other than that - did some tidying up both in RL and on LJ. Including some thinkie thoughts regarding my 'usual' bugbear. I think I have a solution but that's between me and me;)
