Tooo many weeds

So, we spent the entire weekend (well, part of it at least) weeding the garden. Weeding is generally not a big deal. Pull out a few small plants here and there. Well, the garden was a prehistoric jungle. Huge flesh-eating plants. I think we've won though. Had to remove all of the plants, as well as the top few inches of dirt, the dirt with the weed seed.

I did have a chance to pick up a few sword dancing pointers from Brooke, belly dancer par-excellence. I'm looking forward to performing with my new copper dance sword. I've a performance coming up after the parade on the 20th of June, and might try to make it to the harem show before then.

Oh, and hey. I've been consistently keeping up with 1000 words or more per day in my writing project. I'm 25k in.

To go where no one has gone before.

Saw the new Star Trek movie last night. While I'm no trekkie, I did spend my childhood watching the reruns of the first series, as and I've watched pretty much all of the other ones. As well as the movies. This one definitely kept to the tradition of 'even movies are the good ones.'
I thought it was great. The actors they found for Spock, Kirk, Uhura, Scottie, Sulu, Bones, Chekov, well they were all right on. I loved the old-school Kirk, getting into fights, chasing women, and so on. And Spock, well, we've always known he's the most emo of the entire crew.
Kirk on earth, living in Iowa, well that was cool. Especially the bar fight and corvette.
The plot, well, it was a bit close to star trek nemesis, the previous movie. Romulans coming to attack earth.
There were plenty of winks to the original series, making it quite fun for long-time fans.

And Vulcan getting destroyed. wow.

Hey, i've started writing again.

I know you're not supposed to do this, but I've started a new story, and my other one isn't done yet.

I just sorta lost steam on the other story. It didn't have 'fun,' and it was a bit too dark. So, I've started off in another direction, writing a fun urban fantasy type o thing. I love the genre, it's fun, it's exciting, and it allows for a bit more 'creativity' than other more down to earth genres.

I've been outlining my story, and that is going well. It's just pouring from me. If I can get a decent outline done in a few days, I'll start turning into something more, which should be pretty easy once I have a good idea where I want to go.

Now, if only I can avoid lifes other distractions.

I'm writin' again...

Managed to turn out a whole 800 words today (well, I only wrote for 45 minutes).

Let's see if I can do it again tomorrow...perhaps 1000 words.

It's official "Cry Little Sister" day

Need a job?
