Lazy, lazy

[maderr]

Got up at six...went back to bed at seven thirty cause I could not stay awake...woke up a little after nine ^^;;; Oops. Felt good though.

Am slowly wading through getting laundry done, though folding it and putting it away will be a seperate endeavor >.>;;;; I'm so lazy about laundry. I hate it.

Should probably eat something today, hmm.

My latest goal, or attempt at a goal, is to put one book on lulu a month. We'll see if that pans out, cause it's a lot of work with everything else I'm doing. But, atm, I have fairytales 02 and Always There ready to go. I've ordered both, I'll release one when I've got the all clear. Sandstorm and DwtD 01 are currently with betas, so I guess those will appear in April and May, though I couldn't tell you which will come first. That is wholly upon my darling editors.

Right now have managed a measly two pages of Weathermage, but thats certainly better than the flat nothing I've done the past week and a half. Also poked briefly at Treasure rewrite and the Kidnapped rewrite. Hopefully, those will cooperate with me shortly, cause it would be bomb to get the point where I could start putting LG and Kidnapped stuffs on Lulu.

Ah, well. I guess we shall have to see.

Hey, if this pans out like you plan, my coworkers may be allowed to live! Seriously, you save their lives. I love your books.

Now that is something for CNN: "'Gay porn saves lives!' new study concludes."

If anyone deserves a day of rest, it's you. I'm only sorry it's not President's Week.

I hope your muses cooperate so that you can post something and rescue me. I'm currently sifting through mounds of peer reviewed literary trope and my eyes are starting to go a bit squiffy. I really wish the High Lords of Academia would speak in plain english, not this hijacked and incomprehensible academic-rhetoric - I can actually feel the superfluous big words seeping into my brain and making me a less likable person.

Okay, seriously, why is Heathcliff a Romantic hero? I posit his only redeeming quality is that he dies at the novel's end.

Also, I hate passive voice.

I'm gonna, uh, stop rambling in your journal now and get back to my research. (Which I am definitely not avoiding, even if it is going on 6 hours of boring, dry academic gargling.)

Aha, sounds like you need the break more than me. Gods, I swear academics write their papers in plain english and then go find a Thesaurus of Incomprehensible Big Words. Maybe they get some cheap thrill out of it.

Why are most romantic heroes considered romantic heroes? Maybe it made sense at the time.

I don't recall anything passive I've read, but just the thought of it makes me wince.

Mmm, and I reminded suddenly that I owe you comments on Greg. He is still much love, never doubt I love everything you've posted of late ^_^ I am just slakz0r with the comments of late.

Haha, naw, it's my own fault - I could have spaced this research out over the weekend but "fun" got in the way. Damn that "fun" anyway! The only bright spot is that there is this really funny essay called Jane Austen and the Masturbating Critic which is an imagined dialogue between a regular Austen fan and an English professor. They make out at the end. (This shit is peer reviewed, ahaha, I love it!)

From what I can tell, people respond to the passion, grief, and lyricism of Wuthering Height. Even though Heathcliff is an incestuous, wife-beating, puppy-killing necrophiliac. Rochester, (from Jane Eyre) in his cross-dressing, bigamist ways seems only slightly more appealing. Darcy, ah, Darcy. You are forever Firth in my heart.

Aw, no worries. I love hearing your comments but they are not, like, mandatory for my survival.

He dies at the end? ;_;

[aggybird.livejournal.com]

Yes, bitter and broken and twisted and thwarted in his love! IT'S SO ROMANTIC.

... okay, apparently I haven't read enough bad literature, because I was seriously sitting here wondering how we went from Smartass Orange Cat to Romantic Hero. o.O;;

Oh YAY! This is such great news! I CAN'T WAIT!

[gossymer.livejournal.com]

OMG, that reminds me - I need to get Fairytales 01 in print *__* Will buy it together with 02 when it comes out :)

Am totally ignoring the laundry basket in the corner >__>

Weathermage, WOOT!
