Procrastination is Good

lls_mutantYou know, it's very frustrating to realize I probably only have two or three more scenes in this chapter of AIL, and it's hard to drag myself through them. Maybe it will speed up once I'm done the scene I'm on, because this one is tough. This is definitely a chapter that needs a serious beta job, though. Anyone agreeable? I should have it done by Friday. The reason it needs a beta job is because there is a page-long Fenrir monologue, and there's a bit of an accent, in terms of words I chose. I suck at writing accents. Thanks in advance!
More afterlife questions on FAP. I HATE afterlife questions, and am starting to find them very offensive as they're often misogynistic and exceedingly simplistic. Bleh.
On a bright note, I finally started watching Season 1 of Heroes. We're blasting through so I can be caught up to watch Season 2. (Hubby watched Season 1 on his computer when he was traveling.) I've always known I'd like the series- I just didn't watch the beginning few episodes and figured I'd get caught up via DVD. And as expected, I love it. I totally understand the love people have for Hiro- he is so freaking adorable. It's not that he's even adorable, it's that there are people in this world who express joy and excitement so well it's completely contagious, and the actor is definitely one of those people. I think I would like him very much if I met him. But I just want to hug Hiro and pinch his cheeks :)
Although I keep comparing Heroes to X-Men. Come on- how can you not? The whole evolution thing, and then some of the powers are similar. Not that that's a surprise- how many other super powers can you come up with? But I am amused at how they made sure that, okay, Wolverine's power went to a young blonde cheerleader, Rogue's power went to an older male nurse (and is handled very differently), Professor X's time-stopping thing went to a Japanese office drone with amazing squee abilities, Kitti Pryde's power went to a really good looking black man... and then all these people cope with their abilities very differently than the X-men did (at least in the movieverse). It amuses me, but I like it for a lot of the reasons I liked the X-Men movies. I like gray characters, and these ensemble heroes really allow for that.
And I am so joining Weight Watchers again once I have this baby. Can't wait :P
