ayascythe: Pink Reaper (HP ~ Invincible)
My current emotional status: impatient. Monday, ergo: HP 7.1, can't come fast enough. Also slightly anxious and chaotic. My mind is all over the place, because there are various things and projects I'm involved in and then there's the bachelor thesis.

My current NaNo-status. I don't think I'm going to make the full amount I set myself as a goal, but maybe two thirds. Which is okay, I guess? *sighs* At least I have some social media literature now.

My current fandom-status: I saw Glee (this morning, stuffed into the time between getting up and going to work, because I don't have the time otherwise), yes, but I don't have much to say about it either way. I'm not a big fan of Gwyneth Paltrow, because I think she's a boring actress, but she was alright. I just wished the kids had sung more and not just her and Mr. Shue.

... I'm sorry this journal has become even more uninteresting than before. I'll try to cut down the whining, but I guess I need a place where I can post my progress.

Some thoughts about last week's Glee ep (2x06) )

My NaNo/bachelor-count so far:

 
2868 / 15000 words. 19% done!

Which is far less than I should have at his point, but I lack decent literature and even more decent time to actually write. :(

Yoko Kanno is a musical genius. 'Nuff said.

Each time I watch the Deathly Hallows trailer I get those goddamn goosebumps and the picture of burning!Hogwarts tugs at my heartstrings. It's ridiculous. The movie's probably not even that good, but just the fact that it's out in a few weeks makes me go "Gah!", because it'll be one of the last big events in the HP fandom. Before, you could always say "there'll still be the movies", but now? *sighs* Oh HP fandom, why am I so overly attached to you?

It's November and that means autumn pre-Christmas time lots of tea and dreamy times with fantasy books NaNoWriMo! I started writing a chapter for my bachelor thesis this week and am already behind my actual schedule, because I find so little time to write during work. Also, I'm only writing crap. Meh.

(This is only the estimated word count for this month, I'll probably need just as much for the second half.)

Which reminds me ... *tries to write a few more paragraphs*

It's almost NaNoWriMo time! Anyone participating this year? I decided to take this as an opportunity to write the draft for the first half of my Bachelor thesis, because I love the concept of NaNo (someday, I'll manage to use it to write an acutal story/novel) and because I seem to work a lot better when I have a deadline coming up, as imaginary as it may be.
Furthermore, I'll be at least writing something ... It feels like the moment I started working again my last bit of imagination went out of the window. :( I mean, I haven't been very creative this year either way, but when I try to write a drabble or a few sentences now it all ends up being boring, meaningless crap. Meh. I want my mojo back.

In other news: McDonalds food apparently doesn't rot. Err ... okay.

Still on hiatus, but I just wanted to drop a few news here:

1. I'm finished with my NaNo-monster and it's up to ~10200 words now. *mind boggles* Now I just have to edit the entire thing, because some of the writing is just abysmal.

2. I saw Dr. Parnassus in a sneak preview yesterday. Squee. Great movie, crazy and flashy like an LSD trip, but also a modern fairy tale. Absolutely worth watching. (Also: Heath Ledger. <3)

3. Hopefully tomorrow internet again.

I feel pretty much like this but also terribly excited and motivated. Tomorrow ends my deadline ... and I'm so going to finish this. *rubs hands together*

Also, I'd like to announce a little involuntary hiatus:

Due to a change of our internet provider, I will be internet-less from 1. to 3. December. I will check the important stuff, when I'm at Uni, but if there's anything you think I'm missing ... feel free to link and/or spam me. :)

Writing.

Somehow, my word count - total as well as current - seems to develop a life of its own. O_o But I'm almost there ... *wibbles*

Just for myself. Maybe I'll be able to do it in time (meaning till the end of November). ^^

  • It's NaNoWriMo! Anyone taking part this year? Or just using it as an opportunity to do some writing? I think I'm going to try and finish at least one story this month. There are a lot of oneshots I've been struggling with this year, but especially one of them I'd like to see posted/finished in the near future.
  • I got myself the Narnia RPG. The layout of the rulebook is very pretty, the system seems easy, but well thought out - could be fun! I like that there are a lot of rather untypical races you can play: not only humans and dwarves, but also half-dwarves, dryads, fauns, centaurs, Marsh-wiggles, talking animals and ... no (!) elves. Hopefully, we'll try this out sometime as soon as I got the drill of all the rules (since I'm the only one who read the Narnia books, I'm already destined to GM). And I'm totally going to play a talking, fencing mouse. (Reepicheep! ♥)
  • Sharing meme, snagged from [livejournal.com profile] entchenmv :
For one week, recommend/share:
Day one: a song
Day two: a picture
Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day four: a site
Day five: a youtube clip
Day six: a quote
Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy

The Max Payne 2 Theme, which is a track that you actually can download legally and for free (at least I did at the time). I haven't played the game, but the theme's a wonderful, wonderful instrumental piece of music. Very melancholic, very dramatic and very inspiring. Especially for every World of Darkness RPG currently existing, it's a perfect BGM.
