As of tomorrow

[la_marquise]

As of tomorrow, I am going to be good.
I will get to my desk earlier, go to the gym and get on with Teh Writing.
I will spend less time playing stupid games and looking to see if anything interesting is happening on the internet.

In preparation for this I have:
deleted Bookworm
stayed up far later than I intended looking to see if there is anything interesting happening on the internet...

Pigs may be sighted flying over my house, I but I intend to try, at least, because I want to finish The Drowning Kings, do the rewrites on Grass King and get to a point where I can start Gracielis no. 2 (which needs a title. But I have Ideas!).

The f'list is invited to throw brickbats at me if I seem to be loitering too much online.

Skirt of the day: green maxi-dress, in fact.

I did start making a heap of brickbats, just to have them ready; only then I realised that I don't actually know what a brickbat is. So I tried making a heap of cats instead, but they, y'know. Won't stay heaped.

Are you sure? Mine (well Horus and Ish) stay heaped very well in this cold weather. Or you could try spreading one or the other with something sticky (mayonnaise, treacle, pureed mushroom...).

Gracielis! Woo!

He has Notions about what he wants to do, so I am in thrall.

Ahhhhhhhhhh . . . .

[dorispossum.livejournal.com]

being good tomorrow - i know all about that sadly! :(

if you're down to trawling the internet, suggest maybe another push for Sakineh and Sajjad? (Lots of developments while you were away - see http://dorispossum.livejournal.com/8806.html and other posts for details. I know this is a case you've been committed to in the past)

I've sent more mails on this: I didn't phone because I was too tired to talk sense.

[dorispossum.livejournal.com]

the emails still help enormously (am just about to post again on this). As for the phone calls, after 3 attempts I didn't get to talk to anybody, as they'd set their switchboard to autoreject calls. paradoxically, i thought that positive, as it indicated they'd given up on trying to field calls after last weeks development.

anyway, like i said - thanks for doing the emails! And i hope the sleep blah improves soon.

I've never been sure whether a brickbat is a bat made from a brick or a bat for batting bricks (in which case it would need to be very heavy duty). Failing that can we send virtual bouquets instead?

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Bouquets would be nice, though only if I'm good.

[birdsedge.livejournal.com]

No problem then. Bouquets it is!
:-)

Yay books and writing! I will gleefully encourage you. I'm trying to do 1K a day. What is your goal?

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

1000 a day. We should definitely do it.

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! :D

[a-d-medievalist.livejournal.com]

I'll use a brickbat on you if you promise to reciprocate!

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Agreed!

[klwilliams.livejournal.com]

I want you to write for entirely selfish reasons: I want to read the results.

[mojave-wolf.livejournal.com]

Seconding this, tho also for your sake, of course.
=)

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the new regime!

[stina-leicht.livejournal.com]

i'm crossing my fingers for you!

[ex-triciasu.livejournal.com]

Can I come? I've been absolutely useless the last couple of days. I've been contemplating a post on the different varieties of slacking and what they mean...but too lazy to actually write it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Yes, absolutely. Maybe we should start a UK time zone in the War Room, if Catie and Laura Anne don't mind.

[aberwyn.livejournal.com]

A brickbat is the flat thing you use to put bricks in the kiln when you're going to bake them. Kind of like a cricket bat or a pizza bat.

Thank you! I wonder if I can find a picture to use as an icon.

Me, too. After I set up the ancient mac to replace the ancient mac at the store which appears to have had a severe head crash and died. This took six hours of today =/.

COmputers are out to get us. Along with cats.

[kateelliott.livejournal.com]

We can be strong together!

I have a whole envisioned way of organizing my life but I haven't been able to manage implementing it yet.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Definitely. We shall forge a new way...

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

This was my plan, too. We all need a 12 step program or something, don't we?

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

We do.
May I join the war room, please?

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. It's at http://tinychat.com/vjp2m daily, and everybody is always welcome!

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Thank you!
