pumpkin pancakes. mmm.

annelarissa's here! she's here!!!!

she's here and the truck full of her and jenny's stuff is empty. it took anney, her mom and stepdad and scottxwl and later rach and me about 1 hour to get everything into the apartment. amazing. she's here!!!!!!!!!!

and i need a new friday plan that doesn't involve getting on the mass pike in rush hour traffic. probably i need to go to work earlier and leave earlier. which means i need to go to bed earlier on thursdays. which means i can't really do laundry at my parents' house. pooh.

the potential will/bran story is just gnawing at me. but there are several obstacles at this point. A. i have not actually finished reading SotT. yeah, that's right. i've been spending all my time with the slash. bad bad bad. but i'm close and i'll finish soon. B. i can't plot for crap and this story needs a plot. but beyond the sort of general plot concept - which i have almost formed - it's going to take some attention to detail that i don' have a great capacity for. i mean, the books feel so random to me... i can't keep track of the rules about what the dark and light can and can't do to whom and when. very confusing. C. oh, i don't know. but i like things in groups of three.

i did get to talk on the phone to camillafarfalla about the whole will/bran thing finally and there was much crazed squeeing. ahhhh. always feels better to vent the fannish craziness with her.

i also talked to C who just got back from connecticut where she was organizing yale workers. she pulled off some amazing stuff - got replacement workers to bail out and join the strikers. and then ended up negotiating to get those people jobs when the strike ended. impressive work, my friend.
