Well, in addition to WotD round 3 being due the 20th, I've made it to round 2 in Bloodspring - which is due the next day. Arguably a simple enough task, except for my tendency to do everything last minute, and the fact that most of my work besides that is on weekends (being that I don't have much time the rest of the week). Still doable, there's 2 weekends, right? Well... we have an unexpected trip to take this weekend for some truth and philosophy thingy, and next weekend we go to Portland to scope out the apartments Umbra's got his eye on. I'd try working in the car, but even if Umbra doesn't make me drive, I tend to get a little sick if I keep my attention in the car too much, like reading a book or something. Well, I'll either figure something out or, well... have to forfeit I guess. Hopefully that won't happen. I needa quick being lazy.

And actually, I'm excited about my Bloodspring match. I'll be facing ~Huoryu, the other side of ~Umbrascitor's Baninja vs. Saltman stuff (I still think Huoryu should have won the second time <.< ). Guy's pretty awesome. I don't quite qualify as a fangirl for him, but it's closer than with most. I won't be facing Saltman though; instead, just as Saltman was fitting for Baninja (food vs. food), I get to face Noel, the cactus man! If you're wondering why that's fitting, clearly you haven't been paying attention. For the sake of reminder (gawd I'd typing oddly), my character, Nyx Chaser, is a botanist (plant scientist). Y'know, when she's not selling a one-of-a-kind homemade miracle drug on the black market. Blah. Anyway, this means I get to actually think how she'd respond to a person who's part plant (I don't count that Ship thing, that was for S&Gs, basically).

And totally unrelated, my arm hurts. Aside from my supervisor, I seem to be the only one in my team who's been trained to use the ribbon machines (really, it's easier to learn than the 4-way tie... just a little frustrating because the machines are kinda old and crappy and sometimes eat the ribbon). As such, I've been running it it lot lately. Problem came up Thursday, when we were doing a gift that I actually had to hold down for the ribbon to go on tight enough. By the time I got home, my right forearm was so sore I could barely do a thing with it. About 24 hours later, and quick motions, turning, or stretching that part still freaking hurts. I have to kinda loosen it up a bit before I can do much, hadda keep doing that at work to keep my arm functional enough. Fortunately, we managed to have a girl from another team run the ribbon machine. Hopefully my arm will have recovered by Monday - possibly just to end up like this again. DX
