annathepiperToday was a bit vexing at work, another one of those series of annoying little things adding up to just give me a stressy, annoying day. Inexplicable issues with test cases failing, forgetting to run configuration test cases that I needed to make other test cases work, and then being confused when those other test cases didn't actually work... bleah.
On the good side, though, I have noticed distinct improvement in my hips and my back thanks to the chiropractor visits; I have been able to walk a lot more easily downhill to the bus stop lately, and my back doesn't feel nearly so stiff. Yay!
Also on the good side, went and saw Hidalgo with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mamishka tonight, and that was pleasantly fun and about what I expected: not a spectacular movie, but certainly worthy entertainment! Viggo did not however quite manage to chase the shadow of Aragorn out of my brain, though. I kept flashing to him speaking Elvish in LotR every time Frank Hopkins started speaking in Sioux, and it didn't help much to see grassy plains full of galloping horses and having my brain keep going "What business does a man, an elf, and a dwarf have in the Riddermark?" I kept expecting Eomer to ride up looking cranky. ;) (I must be sleepy. I let this LJ post sit for a bit, then I came back to it, and all I could think of was the beginning of what might well be a joke among the Rohirrim: "A man, an elf, and a dwarf walk into the Riddermark..." Ahem. Er. Sorry.)
Anyway, 509 words tonight. Which was more than I was expecting given the distraction of a movie and a bit more RP with Ynderra on Two Moons--but hey, it satisfies tonight's quota! AND, it takes the story over 20K!
Written tonight: 509
Chapter 3 total: 3,804
Story total: 20,252
And speaking of writing, this quiz sounds about right. Not that I've actually written any Buffy fic--but I have written other fanfics. ;) And, as previously posted, I even have a couple in progress right now.
This is what you want to do with your life - well,
not fanfic in particular, but writing. You
write fic for the experience it provides, and
also because you probably write obsessively.
You probably scribble plot ideas on napkins.
Writing is your life, and you're hoping to
someday convince someone to pay you for it.
Best of luck!
