Awesome Things That Aren't What I Should Be Doing...

I promised myself that this weekend I would write the last part of my CM fic. But I haven't even started it. There are 28 people with the fic on alert, and that number has been growing steadily. I haven't updated since the week we got back from camp and it's starting to feel like I never will. I really should have learnt by now never to publish anything that isn't finished!! Oh well. I have three other fics that I have finished but haven't published and I'm just feeling very slack.

I've written some of my best stuff in bed in the morning just after waking up with a fully-formed idea, but that hasn't happened since I wrote Well Adjusted. This morning, rather than writing, I read two and a half scenes from Hamlet. Oh yes, very productive. I'd really like to do it for SWS this year, there's some great scenes, the one between Hamlet and his mother in particular could be good. But it's not really up to me.
After that nerdy period, I spent awhile lying on my bed just listening to U2. I have a large collection of their stuff, and as much as I love my alternative stuff, I just didn't feel like Pixies or Sonic Youth or Hole this morning. I mean, the first song that came up on my iPod today was 'Good Sister/Bad Sister' and as much as I love that song, I skipped it and ended up with 'One Tree Hill'. And I was just like, 'Oh yeah, that's how I feel today'. So I switched over to my CD player and just listened to one U2 CD after the other. You know, I only found out like three days ago that 'One Tree Hill' is actually about the One Tree Hill in Auckland. I thought there must be another One Tree Hill somewhere in Ireland or something. Anyway, now I have 'Shadows and Tall Trees' stuck in my head, but I'm not complaining because it's a great song.

I don't write this bloggie for your benefit, you know. You probably don't understand half of what I'm on about. And the other half bores you. Too bad. You want intersting? Okay then, here's something you may enjoy.
