Picture Perfect Morning
Aug. 11th, 2004 06:41 pmWhat the hell am I doing up so early? (7:30 am when I started this post) Simply put, I couldn't sleep. It's supposed to be 107 degrees here today, and the heat is already so stifling that I couldn't rest. I guess there's a good side to everything though-- I have both a reason and an excuse to park myself in front of the computer and finish WDKY10! Yes, yes, I must. Besides, WDKY11 is just begging to be written.
Why the subject line? Well, it's a nice morning, to be sure, but really, it's an earworm. From Edie Brickell's album of the same name, and the tape I think I just broke in Grandpa's Kenwood Stereo. It's a great stereo system, but I guess there's a reason why everyone said it was broken. For one, it doesn't have any of the usual buttons a cassette deck would, so I was inspecting all the labels and trying to figure out which one PLAY was. Well, I must have gotten it, because the tape got locked in, and when I finally jimmied it out, there was a rip and a dent in the audio reel. -_- And I only have one copy of that tape. I have yet to finish downloading all the songs, too, so until then, I am screwed. And pissed, too. GRR!
*sigh* The other things on my to-do list and list of angst-festives include Dragonfayth and BEA. Of course. When are they NOT on there? Dragonfayth needs some additional tweaking where the skins are concerned, plus I have yet to install akaVertigo's Help Page-- that is a "Guide to Fic Writing" of sorts. I'd like to get input from anyone and everyone involved in the fic (esp. Yu-Gi-Oh) business. Rant, rail, suggest, whatever. We just want stuff to put up there! ^_^
BEA... I still don't know why the members haven't joined. I guess Batchmembers and the alternatives don't want to work for me, so I'm stuck inputting ALL the info by hand. All of it. PAIN IN THE ASS. But once it's done, it's done. BEA will be back, for real. So I guess I should just get to it, and not give a damn about whether I'm the 001 member, right? *kicks database* Stupid PHP!
Finally, since I'm rather close to posting WDKY10, I'm going to include my replies to the reviews from Chapter 9 here under an LJ-cut... that way, I don't have to add to the 160+ KB that is the Chapter already. I've decided to shave off all my author's notes, review replies, and the like. I'm just keeping the essentials-- title, chapter title and number, contact info, disclaimer, and fic. ^_^
Here we go! ( It's NOT Chapter 11, dangit! )
Hey, does anyone know where I can get Thalia translated lyrics? I mean for her songs that AREN'T in English, like the one I'm listening to. Fred's right, this song is so beautiful and sad. My Spanish sucks though. I only know the one line... "I never learned..." (or something like that).
Now it's 6:30pm. It's taken me a while to finish all this... but I did end up taking a 3 hour nap to make up for my mere 6 hours of sleep last night. Went to the Macaroni Grill with Baba and Grandpa, since it was their anniversary. I convinced the waiter to give us all this huge chocolate cake. It was delish. Baba and I both drew all over the table cloth. But they need more crayons-- they only had Roasted Red Pepper, Mac & Cheese (Orange), and some brown color whose name I forget. I wonder if TMG had those specially ordered, or if Crayola really has crayons like that? o_O
