Round 13, Hour 5

[lolmac]

Aliens have stolen Sid's wisdom teeth!

Idlewild has joined a cargo cult!

Skyler is a potato smuggler!

Curu is a tooth-stealing alien!

Chibi is, apparently, actually writing!

A-Alto is asleep!

Any other headlines?

I'm up to 1015 and I'm still on the second scene. Tallahassee just crashed the SUV.

Hey, I didn't do it on purpose. ;-)

And it is much harder to differentiate Bartok's voice from Q's than to write Mac vs Jack. The lines are different, but the delivery is so close to identical that none of my usual writing methods are working.

It may be time to watch "Spock Vs Q" on YouTube again. Hey, I think I have the transcript somewhere...

...But it's the kind where you get to drink and wear silly hats, and as a result, the writing goes well.

I think I am going to finish my bourbon (um. Or not even. I overpoured,) revise some more, then hit the sack. Sometime before midnight would be peachy.

Tsonga and Youzhny are out.

[lolmac]

Wow. Your wisdom teeth were individually named? Cool.

I have moved on to eating the potato.

Unfortunately, I have not moved on to writing. But I am still wearing the hat!

[lolmac]

In vino veritas, let's see, in zea zaniness?

[lolmac]

It's a good thing that the potato was not wearing the hat.

(Now I have Sondheim's 'Finishing the Hat" running through my head.)

[sid]

Hee! Good guess! Wrong, but good!

In usquebaugh unutterable silliness? I always like to have a gaelic counteroffer.

How is research?

[lolmac]

Humph. Bourbon is not usquebaugh.

I have, for the moment, told the Research Demons that I'm doing what I can for now, and I shall simply have to plunge ahead and fill in the missing details (like what the freakin' landscape looks like) later. I think I've crawled through about 200 words since then. It's a start!

It's a whiskey! I embrace the liquors of the new world with the heartfelt passion of a woman who likes to have a bottle of everything on hand. (Well. Not quite everything. Ask me about the Asti Spumante Christmas Revelry.)

Oh good, yes, writing is good. Often times reality bends itself so the research will later fit your writing anyway. More or less. With a little fudging. Just ask Sveta and Svana.

[lolmac]

After what they did to Mac? I'm not asking them anything!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Pfft. He had a natty hat and a useful knit belt tie thing. I'm sure he got out of the Moldavian Secret Police Dank Holding Cell just fine.

And at this point it's all bourbon and no revisions. Big surprise... but at least I will sleep well!
