ysobel: A vibrating bunny, from bunny comics (bwuh?)
I do not guarantee that this will make any sort of sense whatsoever. Am on just enough pain meds that my brain is all fuzzy (but not enough that I can /enjoy/ being brainless, dammit). But, a summary of things:

* I have maintained my streak at 750words. 18 days and counting, so far. I suspect the first time I miss a day, it will be harder to get myself back into it -- momentum lost, and all that -- but still, not bad.

* I have also gotten stuff written for [livejournal.com profile] brigits_flame (for all of the two weeks I've been participating, which isn't really as long as it feels like). Though I swear I am the only person in the world who could possibly come up with a vampire story given "Strawberries" as a prompt. (Well, maybe not the only person, but it did make me go bwuh.) Stuff's posted at [personal profile] pen_and_ink if you want to follow along.

* My left shoulder is being very cranky, probably due to new computer adjustment wackiness and also to the fact that I'm using the mouse more with my left hand than my right and possibly other factors I'm not considering. This is the reason for the aforementioned pain meds, which don't actually make things stop hurting, which perhaps means that I should talk to my doctor about using a different sort of pain med, because "making hurty stuff non-hurty" is kind of a priority for pain meds. ("not making brain go boom" is nice but not as high on the list... but really, this is kind of failing at both.)

* As a result, I am afraid to knit. Which of course means that this is when knitting sounds like the /awesomest thing ever/.

* Also afraid to bead.

* Also also, I probably should get off the computer. But I can't concentrate on anything (internet is nice and shiny and distracty; offline stuff like books are less so) and staring at the ceiling is boring even when it's through spinning fan-blades (er, not that I spent twenty minutes staring at said ceiling-through-fan-blades as though it were the most fascinating thing ever, or anything)

* Also, ow.

Apparently I haven't posted in a while.

(Yes, "a while" is a few days, which is a rather narrow definition of whileness, but it feels like lots longer.)

GW stuffs: am slowly getting back into things. It isn't as bad a transition from WoW as I thought it would be; my fingers still remember the GWy patterns, although I /did/ change the toggle-inventory key from I to B since I never use observe anyway and I am not used to pressing I to see my bags. Anyway. Main playable chars are now clothed, albeit with just basic stuff -- the HoMs (HsoM?) make me sad because they show the awesome armors I used to have -- and I am working my nec through EotN content for what seems to be the first time. (Also I have a baby dervish. Spinny!

WoW stuffs: am kind of meh. It's cyclical. I will get back on the yay train eventually. Still doing weekly raidstuffs, but not much else; I don't even feel motivated to do randoms for the badges :/ (Or to work on the char on my sister's realm, who ... probably will never catch up to be co-playable. Their guild has killed the lich king. My char is only 70, and my highest-geared character (the 80 I've been playing for a while) doesn't have the right stuff for completing ICC.)

Knitting stuffs: So it turns out that needle knitting is not entirely a lost cause. I have been able to work on a shawl, albeit with super bulky yarn and 13 straights. The catch seems to be that I can only do it holding by the base of the left needle (rather than the usual hold closer to the tip), which means that for one thing thinner needles don't work, circular needles /really/ don't work because there isn't enough rigid length (minds out of gutter plz) to hold, and I have to let go of the right needle in order to do the loopy part of the stitch. (Technically, letting go of the needle with my right hand has been standard for me, but it wasn't a problem when I could use one or two fingers of my left hand to hold the right needle in place. Which I can't do any more. It works if there's enough grab between yarn and needle that the stitches hold it secure, but slipperier yarns or needles would be a disaster, and beginnings of rows are kind of awkward even with a good yarn/needle combo.)

Spoons: Have nowhere near enough.

Health: mild tmi ) Also have been running more headaches than usual, some of them migrainey. Bother, etc.

Writing: Haven't been doing any. Ought to. Want to. Well, sort of; there's the abstract "want to" of wanting to have written, and the more specific "want to" of having things in my head to write, and I've lost the latter, which makes the former kind of harder. (I also still owe [personal profile] blueraccoon WC fic.)

TV: Have somehow lost enthusiasm for all my current shows -- I'm several episodes behind on Mentalist, SPN, White Collar, Chuck, can't even think of what else. And I kind of don't care. The only show I'm watching is Bones (reruns but new to me); I have in fact watched Bones /instead of/ a new Chuck.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Boo!

And yes, it is kind of pathetic that I've spent a lot of the day refreshing a web page in order to get pixels... *grin*

(Speaking of pixels, thank you to [livejournal.com profile] dawna and [livejournal.com profile] it0376 for the vgifts <333)

In other news, I did not get the SPN story done that I wanted done, but I did write other stuff, so that's a yay. (Although I'm not quite sure how to respond to story feedback, when the intended, and apparently effective, reaction is "ouch". *snicker*)

Aaaaand um. I have nothing else to say, so have a picture of me with a spider on my head. (It isn't a real spider, which is the only reason I can tolerate it; I am strongly live-spider-phobic.) Also same spider, same me, different pose.
