Why I love the internet

Someone somewhere puts up a puppy webcam, and it becomes this big hit on the net. Millions of people tune in to watch the puppies lick one anoother, bite one another, step over one another, kick one another, and sleep on one another:

So, of *course*, a little while later you get *this* on youtube:

Seems to be a Monday thing.

Last (*was* it last? My sense of time is a bit off) Monday, I couldn't sleep and wrote a lot of fic. Today again I could not sleep, and wrote a lot of fic. (In both cases that's 'a lot' by Hmpf standards, of course.)

Since I actually feel a bit more confident about the thesis after some stitching together of parts I did yesterday and on Saturday, I actually don't feel so guilty this time.

I wrote Farscape today, can you believe it? Just like that. It's been *years*! Short little piece I began quite a while ago and then got stuck on; did two rewrites today and I think with the second rewrite I made the breakthrough; got a structure that works now, just need to fill it with text.

Last Monday, if it was last Monday, I worked on The Man Who Fell to Earth (née, lamely, Miracle), Back to the Future, and the still shiftingly titled Sandman crossover. The Man Who Fell to Earth is scary as ever, but I'm fairly serious about working on it continuously now; Back to the Future is beginning to come together, I think, and with the Sandman fic, I at least have overcome the blockage that kept me from continuing it since September 2007, although not a lot of new stuff has deigned to show up yet.

Feels good.
