OotP, fic meme and various rantings

WHY is my Remix being so difficult? I know the plot! I know what I want to do! Probably because of the same problem I had when I was writing We Could Be Heroes- I'm starting in the wrong place. I'm starting a LOT earlier than I should, I think. And that's why it's not flowing. The problem is, that's the part that interests me in a big way. :P (I originally started "We Could Be Heroes" at Sirius's escape from Azkaban. There's, like, 4 pages of that somewhere on my desktop.) And it's almost time to go to playgroup, so my 500 words aren't getting written this nap.

Is anyone watching American Idol this year? Is anyone else finding the contestants quite dull? ::sigh:: It would REALLY be nice if they'd sing something from this millenium. I'm liking Blake for just that reason. And how could the judges not have known that song? It's not my style of music at all and I knew that song (311's "Mix It Up.")

Oi. Instead of "writing" (which ended up being surfing the net for Idol spoilers), I should have spent time playing with my shiny new iPod. :)
