Writing.

Mood: befuddled
Book I am currently reading: "Speak for England"... still.
I'm actually very excited about this novel I'm trying to write (which is currently only eight pages long -- but it's size ten font, so that's got to account for something), and I've come to one conclusion:
Writing a novel is hard work.
Not just the writing part, trying to work out semantics and such, but the initial and continuing planning process. I've got several legal-sized sheets full of character and location notes and details, and I'm still working on them and tweaking the storyline (which, admittedly, isn't even complete yet! I'm sort of winging it for the most part).
Of course, I never did expect it to be easy. I'm not foolish enough to assume that just because I'm a decent enough writer my words will spill onto the page like liquefied poetry. That's just silly.
On another note, I was watching 101 Craziest TV Moments, and it made me laugh sadly because sometimes I still can't believe that some people can be that stupid.
Case in point: Tara Reid.
It's almost as if she had a reverse catheter strapped to the inside of her thigh, perpetually feeding her a vodka-methylphenidate cocktail with a little shot of Bailey's on the size fed to her through one of those beer-can hats.
Can anyone be that stupid? It can't all be the alcohol, can it? I'm sure some of it's genetic. Stupid people tend to breed more stupid people, because they're not smart enough to don their rubbers so they won't do the world a sizeable injustice by breeding more stupid people. And so on and so forth. "A trojan? But I don't want splinters!" Dumbasses.
I hope if I ever become that stupid, somebody puts me out of my misery. Preferably quickly, but if not quickly, then painlessly, like connecting a tube from the exhaust pipe of a Ford to the backseat, where I would be resting comfortably surrounded by pillows so I wouldn't accidentally hurt myself in my stupidity.
Ech.
I feel like eating some kind of pasta.
Anon.
And cheers!
