jadesfireThanks to meanderings around the blogosphere, I have managed to seriously and deeply upset myself, to the "I'm so angry I'm in tears and can't see my monitor" point. Honestly, I should know better by now. Also, yes, there is a long angsty post about it, but it's staying private for now.
While I think of it, last call for anyone who wants to watch me flail my way through my Big Bang before the deadline. I would say it's 15k in 10 days, except that I can see quite clearly the shape of it in my head and it's more like 30k in 10 days. Remind me why I failed at NaNoWriMo? Anyhoo, if you want to see a sprint writer in action, drop me a comment.
Nope, that's still not making me feel better. If I give you some fun links, will you tell me something happy? Music, stories, jokes, pictures - I'll take anything right now.

With Dreamwidth in so many posts and everyone trying to decide what to call themselves, this article seemed all-too appropriate. Although it's more about Caitlin Moran's fear of fish than Sainsbury's recent fish-naming policy.
The Secret Libraries of San Francisco
This web trends map is lovely to look at and is probably even better if you know the Tokyo underground.
Why should bookshelves be boring?
Where gadgets go to die
So you think your library books are overdue? With book in hand Wednesday, the American walked into the Lyn Heritage Place Museum with the five-inch thick Webster's Dictionary his great uncle Mutt failed to return just before the turn of the century.
Best fancy-dress costumes ever Y/Y? (with thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Kate. Katharine Hepburn is my heroine, so I intend to listen to this asap.
Get your degree in Twitter. As always with headlines, not quite, but it's not actually that far off. Speaking of which Follow Herodotus!
Are we looking for aliens in the wrong places>
Uncomfortable Plot Summaries. Not all of these are funny, but the Lord of the Rings one made me snort. As did the Doctor Who one. Er. Spoilers, I guess, for all sorts of famous films...
Strip and Knit in Style was in 4th place. Old news, but still funny.
Giving Good Beta. THIS.

Date: 2009-04-15 04:08 pm (UTC)I'd like to see a sprint writer in action... though I'm starting to get to a point where I need to push my own big bang story if I'm going to get that first draft done. Should be entertaining, and maybe watching someone else sprint to the deadline will make me get there. *pokes at her muses*
