This is not a good mood.
Dec. 22nd, 2002 05:50 pmI was supposed to go to my mother's for dinner tonight. I was reprieved. The SSD got a bad Chinese dinner at one stage this weekend and has been puking his guts up. Poor schmuck.
Current writing project has me asking the following question -- if you cut open a vampire and poke around in its innards to see what makes it tick, is that dissection or vivisection? So far I've had votes for "vivisection" (as said vampire would be conscious and screaming through a ball gag at the time), "vampire autopsy" (since the creature in question is technically speaking dead -- well, fine, undead, but whatever) and one for "vampirisection" (thank you, Ryu and Nakanaide, you daft pillocks). And then what would you find when you did open up said vampire? It's all about the mythology and I have my own ideas on it and it's all a little gruesome.
Yeah, my current writing project is fucking warped.
So today involved grocery shopping, the EastEnders omnibus and here. Beta-reading and having an argument. General back to normal life and not having to be cheerful lest I wreck someone's holiday.
Mrrrrrrrrrgh with the bitching and the miserygutsness and the helpless flapping and the stupidity...
But hey, 12-Shot sent a Christmas present. And MintSauce sent a card. And I got a card from Wakaranai last week and even though it involves a cat that looks like Crookshanks wearing a set of reindeer antlers and offends my RSPCA-style sensibilities (to anything but Chihuahuas and overly-cute Lhasa Apsos) it was nice that he thought of me.
Happy fucking Christmas.
