...a not quite as serious post. Ye olde blogge has been a little on the grim side as of late, so tonight while I loosen up my mind for a big writing binge that'll probably end up being an all-nighter, I thought I'd try to lighten things up a little bit with some random thoughts.
Random thought # 1--Just got done watching The Voice. Christina--FIRE YOUR DRESSER. Child, you don't have any business prancing around in THAT outfit. EVER. Those thighs were eating those pleather shorts. Seriously.
Oh, the singers? For me no contest--the two bald ladies on Christina's team and the two guys on Blake's team. Best singer of the night--Beverly. Best performer of the night--Frenchie. Best moment of the night--Ce Lo singing Queen.
Random thought # 2--Two great things happened for me in the world of sports today. First, Tyrelle Pryor has ditched Ohio State for his senior season. (there is a God) Then, Mike Hamilton, the alleged athletic director at my beloved University of Tennessee resigned. (there is a God who wears orange and white) Personally, I think this is a great thing for both schools. Tennessee can now hire Phil Fulmer, who at least has integrity and knowledge of the area, and Ohio State can have the ultimate honor of me condescending to appear at one of their football games--which I swore I'd never do as long as Tyrelle *Mika Vick* Pryor played there. That being said, now there are serious grumblings in Columbus on the nightly news about tens of thousands of dollars Pryor allegedly accepted, and people in Knoxville are tossing pictures of Lane Kiffin into bonfires built with Hamilton's office furniture.
Ah yes, a great day in the world of college football. Now, if they'll only strip USC of their 2004 BCS Championship, my week will be perfect.
(Perfection attained in 3...2...1...)
Random Thought # 3--Right now, the cats are have a demolition derby in my living room. The favorite and current points leader is Thor, the 5 month old kitten, who is outweighed by the next smallest competitor by at least four pounds. The cats are all fine--it's the living room that's demolished. Thor was chasing Sapphire, our sedentary, portly Siamese and they hit a pile of mail and papers on the desk. Right now, our floor looks white instead of a warm, mellow aged oak color.
And because this is a perfect week, thanks to USC being stripped of their title, someone other than me is picking everything up.
And finally, Random Thought # 4--If I stick to my current writing schedule, What A Pretty Necklace will be completed in 6 days. Right now, Jack the Ripper and my ultimate villain are plotting the demise of my heroine--who, unfortunately for them, has developed a weapon they'll have no defense against.
Ah, steampunk! I think I'm starting to like you.
