handful_ofdustI'm amazed/somewhat horrified to realize that I've written over 8,500 words' worth of Rick Grimes/the Governor over the last...three days? Yesterday, I posted all of it thus far to AO3, my first time doing that ever. I got an account when somebody posted one of my Yuletide pieces, but hadn't done much with it, and it's remarkably user-friendly--a highly painless process. Nevertheless, I'll probably continue to cross-post, unless people tell me they'd rather I not.
My plan is to be done with this by the end of this week, barring accidents, since I've got the rest of it pretty much planned out. But as of today I'm also going to be working on the stuff I really should be working on, so that may break it into smaller subsections and slow things down. One way or the other, it's been remarkably energizing to be dealing with somebody else's characters, for once.
The weekend was basically devoted to our typical roundelay of chores and Cal-related busywork. On Sunday we went up to Mississauga to see the in-laws', who wanted to celebrate Steve's recent birthday in style. Mom gave Steve her old Kobo, and Cal spent a lot of the steamy, rainy afternoon and evening playing the backing line from "Heart and Soul" on Steve Snr.'s keyboard downstairs. He also worked out how to play "Whistle While You Work." At the end of the visit, they gave him a portable pink dollhouse he'd become enamored of, probably because when I said "You should ask Granddad about that," he bolted up the stairs repeating: "Granddad, can I have this dollhouse please?" overa nd over. On the way home, he amused the Go Train passengers by singing the entirety of Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" from start to finish, rap break included:
Uh
She’s a beast
I call her Karma (come back)
She eats your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shorty’s heart is on steroids
Cause her love is so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She's sweet as pie but if you break her heart
She'll turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I’m gon’ put her in a coma
Woo!
Damn I think I love her
Shorty so bad, I’m sprung and I don’t care
She ride me like a roller coaster
Turned the bedroom into a fair (a fair!)
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted...
Anyhow. Now I'm just about to go downstairs and work out, after which it's Part Five all day, when it's not something else. See ya.
