Been a nice past couple of days-- went on a long drive and wrote a bunch of story notes.
Also, bought Slipstream, which gave new meaning to the word 'weird', but in a good way. I'm probably misinterpreting it wrong or something, but I thought I got most of what was going on-- there's where a scene's getting rewritten, here's some dialogue that's being tweaked, a few snippets of things that influence the later story, etc. I told Chris that I recognized some of that stuff from my own thought processes, and this is what followed:

Chris: "That's how your brain works? I'm scared of you now."
Me: "As well you should be."
Chris: "My brain's more like, 'Hm, I should go get lunch-- ooh, motorcycle! I don't want to go to work today-- ooh, motorcycle!'

In Kaylee news, she slept for 8 hours last night. 8. Hours. Ahahahaha, sleeeeeeep.

Yeah, I've been tired lately. Can you tell? ;-)

And when we were over at mom and dad's house, I picked up a copy of one of dad's magazines, read part of an article in it-- which succeeded in raising my blood pressure a bit-- and then held it up in front of Kaylee.

Me: "Kaylee, you know what this is?"
Kaylee: *URK*
Me: *snickering* "Hey dad! I held up your copy of National Review, and Kaylee threw up!"
Dad: "Hm. She does take after you."

Get down here so we can drive to the Sundance Film Festival.

I mean it.

I don't hear your car pulling into the driveway; what's up with that?

I know that it would all end with me managing to trip over my own two feet (while standing still) and falling into a snowbank, but at the moment I'm feeling fangirly and I don't care.

Weekend

Brrr. If I have to deal with weather like this, I'd rather be cold at the Sundance Film Festival (largely because I want to see Slipstream immediately if not sooner).

Anyway, the weekend was fun. Went to visit Ashley in El Dorado, and I met her roommate Amanda (she of the cool jewelry and eerily accurate tarot readings). We went to Wichita on Saturday to check out Ashley's job at KWCH, and by the time we left the station, it was snowing heavily. Which wouldn't really have been a problem, except for the fact that some people didn't realize they couldn't go 65 anymore.

The heart attack of the day came when a truck on the other side of the median took a turn waaay too fast and went off the road and into the grass, coming right at us. Very, very fortunately, our side of the ditch was a bit too steep for him to maintain speed. Immediately afterwards:

Ashley: "Well."
Me: "Yeah."
Ashley: "You awake back there now, Amanda?"
Amanda: "Yep."
Ashley: "Who votes we should just stay home tonight?"

We had been planning to go to a dance club, but after that, we figured that hiding out in the apartment until things got a bit saner sounded like a good plan. After dad heard about it, he said, "What did I tell you about excitement being overrated?" I told him I still thought it was an inaccurate statement-- excitement like 'yay! I'm getting published' would be just fine. 'Oh god oh god we're all gonna die' excitement is the type I can do without.

On the way back to El Dorado we saw a car with its hood up off in the ditch-- unlike several others we'd seen like that, no police were around, and no one was trying to push the car out, either. So Ashley tried to stop, but she was too close and the car just skidded. So we went a bit further until we found a place to turn around, and then went back. Turns out the guy did have a cell phone, so he'd called for help and everything was fine. At least, until Ashley tried to get back out onto the road and discovered that her car was stuck, too. So the couple we'd stopped to help had to push us out. ;-)

We also watched Serenity, and made a belated-birthday cake for Devin. (Ashley bought a new airbrush and was dying to try it out). It's a heart-shaped cake with black icing and little pink candies on it, with "REDRUM" written in the center. *s* Pictures will be posted as soon as Ashley sends them to me.

And that's about it. Until next time...
