Day #4

[jadesfire]

It appears I'm writing a Criminal Minds/Numb3rs EPIC crossover. What is it with crossovers that makes them be so long, anyway? I've got some vague ideas bumping around in my head, but the story keeps trying to be in Charlie's POV, which would be fine if I actually knew the character. I'm not really more than a casual viewer of Numb3rs, and I've watched episodes from random seasons in a random order. Added to the fact that Five are always reapeating the same episode when I tune in (how do they know?), this could prove tricky.

So can anyone recommend "must see this" episodes for Charlie characterisation? I can hear his voice, I just don't know what to have him say, if that makes any kind of sense.

Anyway, enough of my blithering.

*glares* Why haven't more of you been over to the gen battle and written comment-fic? Or the fluff battle? Come on, folks. 4300 characters really isn't that many!

Today, I am awesome because I stayed awake through a whole course about serials AND I finally got a battery fitted to my watch, which has been dead for about 2 years. I've also managed to cross off a heathy chunk of stuff from my list, although I'm procrastinating terribly about the rest.

There's always tomorrow - I don't want to use up all my awesome all at once ;)

What about you guys? I've been very low-key-awesome today. Anyone done anything more exciting?

I am awesome because I made myself call a total stranger to whom I was referred last week. I met a friend of hers, who saw some of the horse-related art I make and said, "You really need to call this lady."

He did let her know to expect a call from me, so it wasn't as awkward as it might have been, but this sort of thing literally makes my heart pound and my chest tighten, I am SO not wired for it, so the fact that I did it anyway (and that it went well) makes me awesome today. I may end up getting some horse-portrait work out of it, which would be wonderful.

I'm also awesome because I agreed to go back to another 7:00 a.m. meeting of the same group of people from which I got this referral. That's tomorrow morning. Guys, I am SO nocturnal. I Do Not Do Mornings, but I'm doing it because I need to survive, and I'm proud of myself for that.

And I'm getting my big commission canvas underway today, so that's another awesome thing.

What do you mean by "a whole course about serials"? Serial ... what? I'm presuming it's rather dull if your awesome achievement was to remain conscious throughout. :-)

Also, Jades, you are awesome for continuing these posts. They're really helpful, more than you might think.

Wow, that's a whole lot of awesome! Like you, I hate calling up people I don't know, so I know what you mean about the heart-pounding. WOOT! Sounds like a good, productive day!

Hee! Serials are any publication that come in serial format - journals, magazines, loose-leaf publications. Anything where you pay for them every year or on subscription rather than as they come. It's its own specilised field within librarianship, as there are all kinds of quirky things that can happen with it. Staying awake through the whole course was definitely a major victory!
