Sooooooo Tired

My eyes are dry and my brain is rotting out of my head. Oh well, never needed it that much.

So, my pathetic subsistence on teh internets continues, and likely will until my friends list has reached reasonably large, socially-acceptable levels (and God Damn proper grammar, Reginator).

Incapable of putting myself through more of the Butlerian Jihad, I started working on the Diamond Age and, of course, was hooked immediately. Big friggin' surprise. Stephenson's forte is certainly creating very vivd, believable worlds, and I'm a sucker for that. I'm just hoping that the plot and actual execution of the story are better than they were in Snow Crash. I miss VR, but I guess the...oh, damn, whatever it was called, in Otherland, was cooler than its counterpart in Snow Crash, so big shit.

Got some more writing done today, which is better than nothing, I suppose. Indeed, I would have done more, but I got distracted by reading, still, I wrote more today (by a page) than I have over the last few days. I suppose I should just be grateful I'm getting any writing done at all.

Played Scrabble with the paternals and won, by virtue of a dirty vocabulary and a lucky find in the dictionary. I was looking for the proper spelling of queef, and stumbled upon quim instead, which is just as dirty, but was sufficient for me to rack up 45 points. Tacking screw descending from the end of that provided another splurge of points and mortified the other participants. But I won, so what the hell.

Only other news was reaching the distinguished position of commenter on Kotaku. Apparently you have to "audition" to get the slot - basically so that they don't have to ban a million people, instead of just hundreds. Basically I wrote something sarcastic in a couple threads, and bam I got a user account, etc. I don't know how much I'll feel motivated to actually use it, but I do want to know who nabbed the "veracity" user name. so I went with ubiquitous instead; sufficiently polysyllabic and cool for my purposes, but slightly more difficult to type correctly when you're trying to get something written quickly.
