I just tried to go to work this morning and had to turn around and go home I got out of my neighborhood (barely) but the road that leads from my neighborhood up the hill to the main snow emergency route is almost impassable for my car which sits pretty low to the ground and was scraping the top of the ice every few feet. It's kinda ridiculous considering it's suposed to snow another 10-20 inched today into this evening.

So I think there is about two feet out there now. I can't get an accurate measurement because if the snow drifts and have I've been going out there every two to four hours and digging out my front door I don't know why I'm bothering since the pine tree infront of my house is so loaded with snow that the bottom boughs are toughing the ground (it's only the bottom branches too, the top of he tree looks clean by comparison) I'm keepingan eye on it, pine is pretty bendy and it doesn't look in danger of snapping or anything. Also, the plowed the parking lot at about 8 or 9 last night, but they haven't been back so it looks like they haven't come through at all. Not that it matters, I haven't swept off my car since 7 yesterday so it looks to be about a foot and a halfnon the car. Actually, I put my windshield wipers up when I cleaned off my car yesterday and now I can not see the tips of them above the snow any more which is dangerous if I forget there up and I try to sweep off my car again I may knock them off.

The Internet is down or something at my house be cause I can't access it though the wi-fi connection or with my computer which is hardline connected. I tried calling there service provider but they connect to a local office which is of course under 2-3 feet of snow as well. So if there is anyone in the office at all it's only 1 or 2 people handling All the calls in the area so my problem can wait, especially since I can still access the Internet from my phone with the 3G network, which is how i'm making this post.

Also, I just went outside and swept off the porch again and tried to get the snow out of the tree with varying degrees of success . It is still snowing outside but not a lot anymore, the tree will just have to thaw because I can't reach the part of the branches that are closest to the trunck and I can't do anything about the tiny pieces of ice that are clinging to each individual needle, that's what's weighing tree down.

In unrelated news I figured out how to find the rest of the characters on the phone like é and â and ç and ñ.

So, powers on, water work, nothing broken, everyone is in good health.

So as you may have noticed if you were paying attention I did not post a fic as I had hoped. I was not able to break pokemon's hold... However... I can report that I have not put any serious effort in to playing the game since Sunday...

That is because I got a new cell phone!!!

In relation to my fic writing the good news is that the phone broke my pokemon obsession, however now I am slightly obsessed with the phone. The good and bad of that is that phones only hold my attention for about a week... However the phone is am iPhone... So I may never get tired of messing with it.

I'm still getting used to the phone... Like for instance I can not find how to put the accent over the e in pokemon or how to get the shift or whatever so I can WRITE IN CAPS without pressing the caps key every single letter :-/ and I haven't figured out how to get my documents on the phone so I can work on them again (putting the fics on the phone would in fact kill two birds with one stone).

Right now I am just playing with the apps. I have been buying apps (I use the word "buy" loosely, all of the apps that I have right now were 100% free) for about three months before I ever had the phone. So far Amateur Surgeon Christmas Eddition is my favorite .... But I've got about 80 apps and I've opened about 15 of them.

Anyway, it's snowing... AGAIN. I am not a fan of snow, not since getting out of grade school... or rather not since I have to clean off my car and drive in it. Seriously the people of DC do not know how to drive carefully in rain, the lose their shit in snow I could seriously rant about this for an hour... But I won't I mean at least I don't live in Missouri... *grumble* I bet people in Missouri know how to drive in snow*/grumble*

So, um I spent 30 minutes at work today helping my assistant manager answer some really </strike>fun!</strike> ridiculously silly math questions... Which turned out to be for a job she's applying to. honestly I answered most of the questions I should have applied to the Job :-P also, I probably shouldn't have helped her in case they you know... expect her to know how to actually answer those questions. Shit maybe she'll get a job and hire me. ^_^ Anyway, the point of that story was to point out that even the fricken assistant manager is trying to leave! The new manager is driving everyone crazy everyone wants to leave. I should be working on my resume right now.

Anyway, what ever happens, happens. Que sera sera and all that.

Nothing has been resolved.

SO...

I'm not actually dead... but I have been severely distracted... a lot...

So I was off the last two weeks of the year I was off of work (vacation)

The first of those weeks I spent in preparations for Christmas, which was awesome... I think I ended up getting everything I asked for and a more than a few things I didn't know I wanted ^_^ score.

And the Second week was spent almost entirely in the company of my Boyfriend, whom I have not spent any proper time with since he started school in August.

Anyway, some of the things I didn't know I wanted would be the four DS games by BF bought me, which were A Witch's Tale, Brain Age 2, Pokémon Platinum, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2

So then I also got Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

( My antics in video game land )

Enough talk of Pokémon!

As you can see, I didn't even start the Kindgom Hearts game yet... and I got another copy last week so now I have two versions and a strategy guide ^_^;;

Anyway, as soon as I finish this post I'm going back to Pokémon. I have already decided that I will get back to writing on the 22nd whether I like it or not. I have a new resolution to keep to (it's the same resolution as last year actually, lets see if I can accomplish it.)

I just came to announce that I am not dead, just distracted.

Also, something more distracting...

( My job sucks. )
I am so totally ready to do whatever it takes to make this happen ^_^

Anyway, long story short I have a job to keep, a more personal task to get back to... I will however, at the moment go back to Pokémon ^_^

Also. WHITE COLAR!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me some fanficers are already filling in the gap on that episode last night PLEASE! PLEASE!! Peter and Neal could you be more Dom/Sub? If you can, don't, my TV will explode. Thanx.

And another season of American Idol is underway... It's way to early to make speculation... to wit, this time last season I was thinking Danny Gokey and the friend (the one he auditioned with and made it to Hollywood with but did not make it into the top 13) were going to be the slash couple of the season... with some sort emo/hurt/comfort/best buds turned more twist going on... instead Danny Gokey turned up to be the Villain of the season (well if not villain than Asshat) and I didn't even see Adam coming until like the week of the top 11... ^_^ when he did Ring of Fire.

^_^ Also, I just started watching Leverage, which I like a lot... but not in a "slash" way... but in a "YES I totally see why people want to cross this show over with White Collar" way.

OK, some fic by the end of the month I hope.

... and when he winked at her she felt her heart make a drunken stumble out of the doors of her chest to the car parked on her sleeve. She could already tell he was a bad idea, but she was way too inebriated to care...

But honestly, that just amused the shit out of me, and it has absolutely no context. It was kinda like a rabid plot bunny, only it was a rabid Purple Prose ^_^

And it's never, ever going in anything I ever write.

(Yay D.C. Council and Mayor Fenty For Legalizing Gay Marriage)

Also, D.C. and its surrounding... most of the east coast actually... is under two feet of snow. And Snow is not exactly my favorite weather condition, especially since I am the young and spry one in the house, so I'm doing the shoveling.

Someone parked in the space I cleared out for my mother's Mini van last night so I and My 64 year old mother (64!!!) spent and hour and a half outside last night in the freezing cold digging out another space for her to park and as my Christmas good dead, I did not bust out the windows of the car that was parked in the original space that I took and hour to clean out.

However, if someone is parked in the second space I dug out last night I will spend another two hours putting the snow I moved from the space last night to in front of the space and then I will pour water over it so it will freeze solid. I do not want to**, it will be even more work, but I am sufficiently pissed off about it, and sore, and tired.

(** Don’t start nothin', there won't be nothin')

Also, I feel like writing, but I appear to be still sore and tired (see above) So lifting my fingers to the key board is not as easy or fun as I would like it to be at the moment... Also, that's just a sorry excuse.

What I'd really like to do is read something long and preferably is some form that I could curl up in a chair with... a book.. Ah yes, I remember those.

Anyway, I failed NaNoWriMo, again... umm not my worse showing, but definitely nowhere near my best. But I wrote my first lemon, sorta, so... that's something.

I do not wish to leave the house today, but I kinda havfta...Also, I haven't don't any Christmas shopping... and it's looking less and less likely to get done in the next three days.

I don't know what I'm doing...

*sigh*

I like haven't watched Smallville in like years like... since Clark broke Lex out of Bellview (Bellreave?) and totally fucking ran away because he was afraid someone was going to see him CLARK ABANDONED LEX IN THE FUCKING DRIVEWAY OF THE INSANE ASLUM! (I am still so pissed)

Anyway I haven't watched that show since then, I've maybe seen like thirty minutes of the last four... five seasons... shit I don't even know what season they're on. I haven't even thought about trying to get back into since Michael Rosenbaum left...

So why did I just spend like 15 minutes contemplating the best way to go about watching this episode?

It's definitely gotta be the picture of Dr. Fate and Stargirl... gotta be it.

Anyway, haven't not watched the show in so long would it even make any sense to me at all at this point?

Or did the Star Trek Slide Show in the bottom right corner totally make me nostalgic and giddy?

Anyway, Absolute Justice.

Also, I've been seeing Michael Shanks EVERYWHERE I look today. It's werid.

I was completely avoiding posting in shame of my shameful finish and the shameful showing of my shameful, shameful NaNo count. I don't want to look it up now... I'm pretty sure I never hit 15,000 *shrug* I tried *shame*

Anyway, I totally had to post to say I am utterly and murderously in love with The Hatter (from the syfy miniseries thingy... Alice.) Seriously, Love... character love my gosh. I haven't even finished watching the second part yet. I'm going to sleep, I'll watch it tomorrow.


In other news I am slightly obsessed with Adam Lambert ^_^ I love him too!

*filled with love*

Haven't written more than written more than 400 words in the last three days. Dunno what my word count is, don't wanna know. *shame*

Still haven't preordered Adam's Album... *procrastination*

Still haven't practiced my flute enough for the two duets I'm supposed to play with my nephews for Thanksgiving. *embarrassment*

Still haven't transposed the Piano sheet music for the duets to the flute sheet music I can easily play. *lazy*

Am actually three weeks behind of my Heroes episodes *baffled*

Trying right now to rectify one of those.

Will try to rectify another in a little while.

Will rectify one tomorrow.

Will have to rectify the other two before Thanksgiving, obviously.

I don't feel like writing right now. I am no where near my word could.

OMG!

I didn't ...

oh iI just realized my the fingernail on my left pinky is too long and it's interfering with my typing o.O

... I didn't get anywhere near my desired word count yesterday, although I did my daily word could down to. I don't know what my word count is so far for today but I'm betting it's less than 400 and I don't want to write anymore today. I don't want to work on the the Vamp!fic that I've spent all month working on (except for those two days that I wrote a fanfic of my origfic.) and I don't want to work on Dangerous Bonds, which I've been sort of poking at the last three days, and I don't even want to look at Strange...

what do I do? if I don't finish writing today, get at least 1,600 words, I'll be in dire straights.

Maybe I'll trying procrastinate for another two hours and make a solid swing at it.

*crossing fingers*
