Oct. 21st, 2008 09:56 amGot up at 9am, which is what happens when I go to bed at 1am. This seems to be my default clock--the last time I took siginificant time away from the day job, I eventually wound up going to bed at 1-2am and getting up at 9-10am. I don't really like that. I miss too much daylight that way, especially now. And next week is back to work, so I need to re-readjust starting, like, tonight.
Watched about 2/3 of Sin City last night on Spike. Too much POV talking in order to fill in what there was of the plot, and gory as all hell. Yet one of the most compulsively watchable films I've seen in a long time. If I hadn't been so tired, I'd have watched the rest. Biggest surprise--Elijah Wood's character. I'll keep a look out for it on the schedule, and catch what I missed.
So sometimes Spike shows decent movies. But it is geared toward younger men, and their advertising is limited and leans toward icky/eye-rolling, male enhancement products and Girls Gone Wild videos (isn't the guy who founded that in jail??) I wish there was a cable station that ran action films and such that was geared toward a female audience. I know Lifetime has the Tanya Huff series, but isn't the rest pretty much 'family crisis of the week' or 'who murdered this woman'? Hell, even geared toward a general audience would be good, but I would think action films for women would work. But then, Hollywood would actually have to make a couple. So strike that.
I think by the end of the week, I'll post a list of things I need to remember the next time I do this extended writing time thing.
Speaking of writing, 2627 words yesterday. Bit of a cheat since I nicked about half of that from old draft. An introductory chapter for a new POV--this character has been seen previously and readers will think they know them but they don't. It will need reworking to suit the new tone of the thing, but I think it's usable.
Pups have already been out a couple of hours--I had to get up around 630ish to let them out, then went back to bed. They're sleeping now. I need my coffee. Then, to horse.
