Hm.

The etouffee was...okay. Pretty good, but not special. I gained a half pound yesterday.

HOWEVER. I found a site that mirrors Joe's Crab Shack's recipe, and it's far different from the one I made yesterday and sounds way better. THEREFORE, when (notice my adroit avoidance of the word "if," there), I reach the magic weight of 130, I will try that recipe.

In writing news, as soon as I figured out my hook for the A&tS story...I stopped writing. ARGH. I got nothing written yesterday. At all. Partly because I realized I've got too many characters to wrestle with in an under-5,000-word story. So, I've excised my student group from five to three. I may drop it farther, to two.

I've got Wednesday Write with snarking_boojum this afternoon. He's got the CatFeet fic for me, and I've got the WerewolfFic for him. He says he figured out what's wrong with the CatFeet fic, which is great, because I don't have a clue, other than that there's SOMETHING wrong with it. I just hope it's an easy fix. *wibbles*

I don't know if anyone remembers me squeeing about the baby Dronkeys in "Shrek 2" last year, but The Evil Empire WalMart has some little plushies to go with the Shrek 1&2 DVDs. Just in case, you know, anyone wants one. *eyeshift* Not that I bought one yesterday, or anything. *cough* Also? They had "A Knight's Tale" Special Edition in the $5.50 bin.

You know what wins? Using one of kenrand's business cards as a bookmark for "The Golems of Laramie County." *nods*

"LOST"... Dude. Just... Dude. o.O

AUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH...

I got the CatFeet fic back from my Writing Buddy tonight.

*cries*

I don't know if it's salvageable, to be honest. I'm going to do my best to beat it into submission, but whether I actually can or not is an open question. I guess I'll beat it into as much submission as possible and then start sending it out anyway--because just because I think it's bad doesn't mean an editor will. *shrug*

However, I'm in the position I want to be in, writing-wise. I have one in-progress, one in editing, and one with my Writing Buddy. And four out looking for a home. I should be hearing from Asimov's any time now.

I broke 1400 words on the A&tS fic. I HAVE ALIENS. Which I may or may not change the appearance of. I have dropped my students from five to two. We have entered the Museum. Go, me. 3600 words to go...

Da Boy lost his third tooth today. And we are off to see Spiderman 3 at the drive-in in about...five minutes.
