Gotta love the small victories
Ah, I spent the better part of a few days trying to figure out why a page that I was working on kept having layering issues, you know... when something overlaps and it shouldn't? Well, I found my answer today, hurray for me!
Now to wrap up the other annoying issues with this client, slap a co-worker to get him to finish a Flash movie CORRECTLY and then bill the client for the job. Woohoo! Money for the New Year. And... another project close to done, client asked for changes.... totally not a part of the original deal, woohoo... more hours... more money... Another project about 50% done, yeah. Another hideous project that went WAY over-budget is slowly trudging toward completion, please be merciful and wrap it up! Plus another long-term project that's in "X to the millionth" edit. Plus more projects waiting for the client to sign the dotted line.... ::faints::
Um... I am going to be getting help, right? Please? ::faints again::
Anyhoos... I'm currently having my poor wee brain trapped in either the Anita-verse (Anita Blake series of books by Laurell K. Hamilton, a good read but after a bit you get sick of Anita becoming more sex-fiendy/more powerful with every book) or in any 'verse' where Craig Parker (Haldir in Lord of the Rings, various persons in Herc & Xena) has been. Help me, he'd make one sex a$$ vampire. ::faints::
Gee, considering the amount of fainting I've been doing, maybe I SHOULD check for bite marks.

Oh poop! That means you're gonna stay swamped! A swamped Kiri, is a non-playful Kiri, and that's just plain wrong!
Haldir the Vampire, eh? I can see that... Lemme check your neck!
::Pulls Kiri's hair this way and that::
Nope, no fang-marks!
Drat.
He'd make a sexy little bloodsucker. Hmmm... I smell... fanfic.
And not the blond elf... the dark haired, funny, sexy boy... :-) Did I mention that he played a demigod in Xena? Yep... ::coos::
You did mention... and sent me a picture of said Demigod goodness.
::Takes another peak at piccie::
*Beat*
Where was I...?
Yep, I tell you that man is illegal and not in the usual sexy boy ways. He's... um... his eyes are this divine shade of blue. Makes you think of tropic warm water rolling up on a secluded sandy beach.
::several beats::
Is it warm in here?
Dunno about VA, but not in Norway...
Okay, a little warmer in my apartment, but that's because I refuse to freeze!
And I do know about those eyes...
Yep - I see hastily scribbled notes in my near future as I shake and rattle my way home on the trains.
Yep... those eyes... then smirk...
::falls off chair:: Whoops! Need to remember to pad the floor before I do that.
::sits gingerly::
::Strews fluffy pillows around Kiri's chair::
There, that better?
Much, thanks.
Now to good hutn up a few super cute pics of him for... um... creative inspiration?
Lemme work a little on that one... I might have something for you, if I don't, I can make it!
Loverly! Absolutely lover-ly! Go right ahead!
I did...
Inspiration enough, or do you need more?
Oh, please OD me.
One massive Haldir OD coming up... if the little Empress will stay out from under my feet for a little while...
Cool, while I try to continue my work.
Yah, like I need a lot of time to satisfy your Haldir needs...
Woohoo!
Actually, my boss walked up and said "we'll be closing early tomorrow.. 2-ish" I thought "let's leave NOW".
Why's he being nice to you, all of a sudden? Is he up to something? He is! He is up to something...
::Runs around in circles::
Circle the wagons! Hurry, the boss-like type is up to something!
Wagons are circled. Watches posted. Weapons armed.
Come on 2 pm. Come on. Kiri wants to go home.
Oh phooey! No consideration for me at all... Well, if that just don't beat all...
::Walks off in a huff::
Hey, am I not spending a goodly amount of time chatting with you via AIM? Plus gifting you with my charming wit and wisdom?
::two beats::
Why are you laughing?
Me? Laughing? Wouldn't dream of it!
::Snickers behind hand::
K, then.
::glances nerviously at the hand::
::sweatdrop ala anime::
You sure? I mean, I could just go back to work.
Sure I'm sure!
::Snorts::
No laughing here!
::Wipes tears::
Okie dokie then.
So? Where were we? Oh, yes. Dark haired, blue eyed, sexy vampire-type (or maybe were-type) anti-hero and the damsel in distress... or not... I think the anti-damsel in distress thing could work too.
Couldn't you just incorporate him into the other scenario you were telling me about this summer?
::blinks:: Jog my memory?
The idea of a pack that travels around...? Like a family?
I think they might have been hereditary weres... Kinda blanking out a little. I think you were heavily influenced by Underworld in your take on it...
Anita Blake-verse... actually... now that you jogged my memory a bit...
Traveling to avoid the hunters and other weres that would seek to domination them... or consume their pack/pride/pard into theirs.
It's a horrible thing to lose your identity... your freedom.
See? You already had most of it outlined. Go back to your notes, juggle them around a bit, tug a little here and shape a little there, and you can incorporate anything else you want in there. Hell, it's your story, you can add and take away anything you damn well please!
Argh, since the move I'm not sure I have them anywhere. I'll find them in a year or so. LOL
Nah, I'll finish the project I"m on and then start writing, I hope.
You do as you please, as always. But I did say it when you told me about this the first time, and I'll say it again; I wanna read that story! Hell, I'll Beta for you, if you need me to!
And as before "of course".
Just so I don't have demon cars vanishing unexplained and plot holes so large that they swallowed Vince McMahon's ego whole.
::BURP::
Ummm... why would I do that? Vanishing demon cars, are so not on my agenda! And there is NO whole big enough to swallow VKM's ego, NONE!
The plot holes in my old Phoenix Rising story were.
Never got to read that one... sorry.
::falls off chair:: Really? Dang, and it's history too. I can't find it anywhere. Not that it's THAT good for a story written during lunch breaks on a nearly daily basis for over a month.
I can check with the girls if any of them read it, or knows where to find it... Someone's bound to have saved it, someplace...
I've asked before. I got... half of it... two computers ago. LOL
