A new job and an old series ☆
Jan. 20th, 2011 01:35 amWELL.
So. My first few days of work have gone swimmingly. Aside from being a bit tired due to adjusting to a new sleep schedule, and the fact that the commute is... less than desirable, I have absolutely no complaints. At least, not any complaints about the work. Plenty about the weather, though. -40C, again? I'm getting really sick of having to catch the bus in that. But as for the job itself, everyone I work with is really nice, and good gods does it ever feel awesome to be doing physical work again. Unfortunately, I have to wake up really early for it, and go to bed early as well. This makes it really difficult to talk to some of my friends. But, well, there's always lj comments and letters and non-instant roleplay and such. It's not the same as talking directly, being online at the same time, but it's not so bad.
This week I haven't been writing much of anything, but once I get back into the swing of things I'll probably manage it. Who knows, maybe I'll get into the habit of taking my notebook to work so that I can pound out a half-page of fic over lunchbreak. I'm nearly finished drafting something, but it'll take some work to make it presentable. Expect to see it in like two months. (I wish I was joking, but logically speaking, it takes me forever to get around to finishing anything.)
What I have been doing lately, while trying to finish knitting those mittens, is re-watching an old series from when I was a kid. The series in question is Eerie, Indiana, which involves around a pair of kids seeking out to investigate and document all the weird and creepy stuff that goes down in their strange little town. I just -- Oh man. Yeah, I've already flailed about it enough on twitter, but anyway. I'm just having so much fun watching it for the first time in many (many many) years, and it's not just because of the nostalgia factor, either. It's actually a pretty awesome series.
( Did I seriously just write over 1000 words of flailing about this? )
Maybe I should take some time on my day off to read through some urban legends or ghost stories or tales of creepy things in attempt to scavenge up a decent idea for some Eerie fic. I'd probably be able to at least find something I can use.
