I couldn't figure out why my right wrist was bothering me lately. Then I remembered that I wrote 120 pages in 7 days. I must be insane. I didn't even do Script Frenzy that fast.
It's a crappy first draft (er, "random draft" according to the syllabus), although I quite like the second act. I have until the 24th to revise it, thank goodness. It needs at least one major re-write.
I watched three episodes of Clatterford while finishing the draft yesterday. Joanna Lumley was unrecognizable and amazing - I will never look at tomatoes again without laughing. At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The humor is understated, and the series is basically about a women's guild in a town in Devon, and based on those two factors, one would think it wouldn't be all that interesting to watch (although I think Devon will be my retirement spot - what scenery!). It quickly grew on me, though, and I watched the episodes a couple of times to catch all of the nuances and slipped-in jokes. Can't wait for the second DVD from Netflix. They're making a second series, too. Yay!
I didn't much feel like going into work this morning (time of the month plus a sinus headache), and as luck would have it, the power went out in my condo building around 7:45 and didn't come back on until 11. I stayed in my jim jams all morning, read a bit, ate breakfast at home for a change, got an early-morning fire going in the fireplace, and did some work offline until the battery on the laptop ran down, at which point the power was back on, and I was feeling a bit better. I made myself presentable and moseyed into work around 1. Not bad for a Monday.
