That Moment....

[hirundine]

That moment when you're doing a detailed plan of a scene and find yourself wishing you could write a romantasy novel about one of your side characters.

TMW you whack yourself in the nuts with a weed whacker. Not the business end but the heavy battery side. I don't think the neighbors heard me scream.

Ouch! Wow.

No, i panicked and told my mom to get a refund.
Long story short.... she knows about her present....
(Haven't told my siblings i ruined the surprise yet -sigh-)

*offers JT Woody a hug to make up for the horrible day*

TMW you make up lyrics for a well-known song, in the hope of helping someone else feel better.

*to the tune of "My Favourite Things"*

When the dust spreads,
when the tea spills,
when I think I'm cursed --
I simply remember my horrible day,
and know that it is the worst!

(Sorry for that. Hope you both feel better.)

TMW researching 1 minor thing for your manuscript inadvertently uncovers a massive plot hole that now you have to go back to chapter 1 in order to fix

I hate it when I whack the heavy battery side of the nuts. I hope your business end is okay.

I've had that happen. (Not a massive hole, but a bunch of tiny niggles that needed to be fixed across multiple chapters). Good luck, JT!

mom said she'd pretend to be surprise, but... when me and my siblings called her and told her where her present was, i dont think she was pretending when she started crying.
We'd gotten her the deluxe all day session.

also, Happy Birthday Mrs. Potvin! (@Homer Potvin )

June 4th for Mama Woody? My wife's birthday, too. Watch out for Geminis.

Happy Birthday for Mama's Woody and Potvin.

TMW on vacation in Greece when after four days you have a Mountain Dew deprivation headache that is about to split your head in two and then you finally find a can of Mountain Dew at a street kiosk and you are literately shaking with excitment and can hardly get the tab popped fast enough. Then you take that first big slurp and find out that the taste of Greek Mountain Dew is nothing at all like the taste of US Mountain Dew. Cured the headache though.

did it taste good? bad?
When I lived in Italy then came back to the US, McDonalds wasnt the same as over there. The ketchup was sweeter there than in the US, i remember.
Oh! and bananas were different too. I remember eating bananas a lot while in Italy, but when I moved back to the US, the bananas didnt taste good and i stopped eating them.

Different, so not good to me since I'm used to the MD in the states. If I were there long enough to get used to it, I would probably like it fine.

The same thing happened to me a couple years ago on vacation in Scotland and Ireland. I could rarely find MD, and when I did, it tasted different. From what I am reading, Europe has much higher standards as to what they are allowed to put in their consumables, so the MD here in the States is probably killing me slowly.
