kbkYesterday I forgot to take my drugs. Also I am bleeding. And have been eating badly. So today was not particularly nice physically.
But I bought a laptop on ebay the other day and it arrives, which was exciting, and I don't know the network key so it is not online and so I wrote over 5000 words of fic this evening, which is a fair chunk of what I need by July, so go me. Maybe I will not get internet for that 'puter till I am done writing a first draft, because it distracts me so. Then again. It possibly needs a new battery. And I didn't realise it had a trackstick, which I'm not hugely keen on, but it's livable. And it wasn't partic'lrly 'spensive.
Shadow Unit are having their season finale this week, and I am getting quite excited about it. Also, I can read that website at the office, because it isn't obviously a forbidden site (as livejournal is, poo) so I read the first two installments when I was supposed to be working, which was bad of me but immensely satisfying (and the stuff I was doing was boring as all hell, so, y'know). If you haven't been reading it, it is... hang on. "A mystery/suspense show, a cop show, a profiler show--but with a science-fictional problem at its heart." I like it a lot. Also a few of the characters have ljs, which is oddly satisfying (but I spent an entire weekend reading through the backlog, so beware time-suck).
God. I really need to tidy my room, and do laundry, and I have a whole lot of wool so I need to stop buying more, and, oh yeah. Today I completely failed to make the deadline for a job application, by sitting here for hours on end reading fic. I am made of self-sabotage, clearly. Which sucks. And I have failed to call my advisor-woman for yet another week. and and and argh. But! 5000 words! win!

But I don't think there's one of them I dislike. Well, maybe Reyes - the latest bit didn't help that at all - but damn, he gets some good lines.)
Oh god. I just thought. One more installment. I've been thinking yay, story complete. Would they be so cruel as to give us a cliffhanger? given that series finale is generally such? crap. crappity crap. dammit.

And I love the interactions between Daphne & Chaz & Hafidha, and Falkner's becoming more interesting too. Even Reyes being a complete and utter bastard is, well, expected, particularly by day 6 in the last story.
There's going to have to be some kind of cliffhanger, doesn't there? (I've only got day 7 left to go and I can't bear to start reading it yet--must draw it out! Even if it hurts!) I mean, even when they get Chaz back--and they will, dammit--he and the team are not going to recover from this nightmare overnight.
