Sunday Afternoon Hodgepodge for August 9, 2009.

-I finally found Part III of "Detail Man", so now I can finish it. Hurrah for Google Docs. What a handy application. I'm hot and tired from a boat ride, and so I might not get to it today, but tomorrow looks promising, since I have to wait for the cable guy. Remember that glib prediction I made about the long-suffering innie_darling not getting her Halloween 2008 fic until 2009? Yeah. A bloody prophet, I am.

-Speaking of fic, I have to convert 5,000 words of my Rammfic RPF from pluperfect to present tense because too much pluperfect is like a mouthful of freezer-burned Chunky Monkey, and it's tedious to read and write to boot.

-The cable guy is coming tomorrow with his fiberoptic salvation, so unless the wheezing power grid collapses under the weight of a whopping eighty-eight degrees(Note the sarcasm of a native Floridian accustomed to heat indexes of one hundred and five, please), I'll finally have TV. Just in time to bear witness to the stupefying clusterfuck that is CSI:NY S6. You know, where writers plop Danny into a wheelchair just to masturbate the drama llama, while at the same time telling us that in the wake of Angell's death and his execution of her killer, Flack will cope by resolving to be the best cop he can be. Funny, I thought, he was already the best cop he could be, what with that spotless eleven-year service record. In other words, it will be business as usual, and Flack will be eye-fucking Haylen by episode seven.
