.128 x waah i want a project

As title states, I want a project. I guess I don't really have time to start one right now with the end of the semester threatening. Exams are coming up, papers are coming due, I still have two books to read and two exhibits to see for the class with the retarded teacher...

But I really want a project. A writing community. I guess it's good that I can't afford to start one now since I should really get on top of my own writing before trying to inspire others, right? I like the look of the contest for the_dead_muse this week. It's about writing from a villain's perspective. There's not much I could do in Aerlun's world without coming up with a 'bad guy' on the spot... and anyway it might be more fun (or at least more entertaining for others) to write from a known villain's eyes. Like Scar! Or Maleficent! Chee =D Or maybe not a Disney villain. We'll see. I have to write it by Sunday though, that's the close on this one. I didn't enter the last one -- it was basing a fic on a song, using the lyrics in some way, and nothing ended up working for me.

I think I'll plan a project anyway. On paper. I can't really start it until I get a good image manipulation program for Mac anyway. Danny's downloading one for me, but it could take a few days. Or weeks. Or whatever. You might wonder why photoshop or some equivalent is necessary for a writing community... but there have to be prizes of some sort. And while I'm willing to spend actual money once in a while for big contests, I'm more willing to create image awards. Besides, I'm thinking that, should my project ever get big enough, cafepress could offer something interesting to add to the community... but to design clothes etc. there you need to upload images, and I'd need to make them somewhere.

I wish TV would go back to normal. The writer's guild strike really messed up my entertainment. I miss House and How I Met Your Mother and Smallville updating regularly. They have been showing new episodes sporadically... but still. And House hasn't been new in ages. Since what, the week after the Superbowl?

.129 x yessss finally!

Direct deposit! Finally! Holy frickin yay!

ETA: Also, after the curve, I barely got an A on my second GEOG midterm -- but it's an A! That's something!

ETA 2: Still trying to keep this short: I got another call from work at 5:30 in the morning from Achu saying I was scheduled to work this morning and didn't show up.. then at 8:30 or so George called to ask me to work this afternoon. I said no. I have to go work out my residency classification to attempt to keep in-state tuition this afternoon. But I'm thinking I should probably call to make sure of my schedule tomorrow, because I'm betting he changed me to opening and didn't tell me. Still, I'm tempted not to check and just fuck them all if they did and I don't show up, because they didn't say anything. I'll ask Danny what he thinks later.
