It's the second-to-last hour of the round! It's so happy to be here! Look at it, stretching out before you, bursting with minutes. How will you fill them?

I formatted my draft so that it's ready for submission! Sadly, homework was not accomplished. But there's always this hour! :D

Congrats! And yes, homework does have a way of not getting accomplished. But then, drafts have a way of not getting ready for submission, and you conquered that! So I have every faith that you will conquer homework, too!

Bah humbug!

Sorry. Do you need tea_rush? Or how about chocolate_rush? (I've been thinking about that one myself . . . )

[juliet316]

Chocolate_rush sounds like a plan.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

I have just had a successful chocolate_rush! I hope yours is also going well. :D

[juliet316]

I'm doing some pizza_rush before chocolate_rush.

Not having much luck getting back to writing . . . maybe I'll play with screencaps for a bit.

Sounds like a good plan! (Not a good plan for getting fic done, mind, but still a good plan!)

The landlady arrived, and I helped walk her dog! (She has this adorable tiny Yorkie that I hadn't seen in several months. Did I mention ADORABLE? ^_^)

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Walking the dog counts as a fic_rush accomplishment! Especially if the dog is adorable. : )

I'm up to 442 words of a 1000-word-minimum fic, so I'm pleased to see that much progress! I have a lot of dialogue already sketched out in notes, so I know I'm going to make my word quota easily.

I have to pause in order to research what the things are called that you put over your ears when you're firing a gun at a shooting range. Ear protectors? *goes to investigate*

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Whoo, well done!

Good luck with the research!

[sid]

Evidently they're called earmuffs, which is what I originally wrote and then thought "That doesn't sound right!" LOL

[lolmac]

You can also refer to them as "hearing protection" as a general class of item. Or, if you want to deflect the image of fuzzy warm things, call them "shooting earmuffs".

[sid]

Fuzzy and warm, in the military? Heaven forfend! I'll just introduce them, along with the goggles, under the umbrella heading of "protective" and that should do the trick.

[juliet316]

Could also call them noise cancelling headphones, or something similar like that.
