hmmm

Having the sort of evening where I have to keep reminding myself that just because 99% of homophobes are straight, doesn't mean that 99% of straights are homophobes. Even in Missisippi the percentage is only 86%.


So I took a nice 10 minute walk on a treadmill. Made .44 miles.

Yesterday's Poll Results

31 of you took it.

Spaghetti is the favored use of hamburger, with meatloaf a close second. Y'all like comfort food.

Coffee took an early leaad as "Caffeine Delivery System" of choice, with about half of you preferring it. A couple of you take it by IV.

The voices in your heads are the primary news source for 2/3ds of you. I'd invite the Fox Watching Heathen to leave, except I like them too well, and there are only two of you.

Mechanical Rice Picker. 'Nuf said. And you three pervy hobbit-fanciers can wait in the truck.

Prince Charming and Dogberry's second (thanks dakiwiboid, I goofed) tied as your favorite "scenery that talks." At least 1 other person has seen Getting Straight. If you sat through it all, you scare me.

The Love Boat theme skirted the shoals of the Copacabana as the worst Earworm Ever. ellabel, I knew you had "Stealing like a Hobbit" stuck, but I was amazed that Da Boid was a Luke Ski fan.

(no subject)

Caloric intake: 1100
Water intake: 104 oz.
Calories burned by bed-time: 2025 if I walk 10 on the treadmill. 1950 if not.

Not bad. Of course, I've been miserable all day, being hungry, but that's my problem.

ETA: made .55 miles tonight. Think I'll hold it there until I don't sound like a steam engine and my legs don't turn to jelly. This should help on the con, too. No leg spasms.

Bunny-booting time

I have obnoxious plot bunnies and a new fangy one just pounced me.

I want to do an introspective Luke piece in which the Father-need grows and is tamped down, flares and is condemned by his uncle, is revitalized by the lightsaber and by Obi-Wan's wheezing on the coals (so to speak). I want him to spend the three years between SW and ESB obsessing and searching for anything about his father (when he has a chance). I want vengeance burning hot in his mind, so that Bespin is more shattering than we can imagine. I want him confronted with the object of his obsession and the object of his revenge rolled into one, and be torn. I don't want the noble, self-sacrificing fall. I want pure anguish. I want bad choices. I want the fall, but a choice made, once healed, to go to Vader. AND I don't want it to turn out like all the other Luke/Vader pieces out there. I want a long slow process of that insatiable need being twisted and warped. I want Luke demanding and greedy, determined to make up for 23 years of lost time.

I'm warped.
