windy days aren't good for raking yards

It's been a while since I've made myself a to-do list, but I think today needs one.

Get This Stuff Done:

• Finish STBB pinch-hit fanmix


• Do chapter 24 Botany homework


• Get my Wii Fit on, yoga-style


• Clean the flat surfaces in my room (because everything that can have stuff on it, does have stuff on it)


• Write for at least ten minutes (warming up for WriSoMiFu, lol)

This is not too much stuff for me to reasonably accomplish today. I can totally do it. I just have to not be a lazy ass. :D

what's the male equivalent to a bodice-ripper?

You Should Be a Romance Novelist

You see the world as it should be, and this goes double for all matters of the heart. You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer... And while you may be a traditional romantic, you're just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories. As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates - you could write it.

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

Blogthings: We're Not Shrinks, But We Play Them On the Internet

this made me lol. Oh dear. I make fun of romance novels and yet I basically write the fandom equivalent of the really purple Harlequin types...


I just worked out on Wii Fit for like 45 minutes. I am a hula-hooping fiend, as long as I don't actually have to use a hula hoop! xD Sadly, our washing machine is still broken, so I can't do my laundry like I had planned. Practically though, that just means I have less to do before I can reward myself, so it's a win in the end.

it comes with a price

One thing looking over the other STBB fanmixes to date has shown me: I am a terrible music snob. This shouldn't really surprise me, but every time I get confirmation of that, it makes me feel a little bit bad. There are so many other things I could be judgmental about, but music is the second most frequent. (Spelling and grammar is the number one snap-judgment area, of course.)

That said, this should be easier to do but the one thing I didn't get done on my to-do list today was finishing the mix. Partly I got distracted by reading other things. Other very long things.

Tomorrow is Halloween and I have absolutely nothing to do related to the holiday. My plan involves more Botany homework (I can be totally caught up if I just do two chapters tomorrow and one on Sunday), possibly getting stoned and watching Cosmos, and going through the rest of the yoga poses on Wii Fit tomorrow. I did the first two rows today, I'm working up to the harder poses. I may not even change out of my pajamas. My mom bought me an adorable robe at Bath and Body Works yesterday and I could live in this thing, it's so comfy and warm.

My plan for the rest of the night is much simpler than even that simple list, though: I'm going to go read HGttG until I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Hooray for reading books.
