working hard, Thanks for dropping by! I am a list freak, but the more I think about the 'one master list' idea Trunk references in her post, the more I like it. Good luck with your final item!

Adam, Sorry for delayed response, as you know I do get busy(read: distracted). As to your feelings of my fussiness, yes, I realize that the movie adaptation is exactly that, an adaptation with inherent differences in interpretation and presentation. What I'm arguing here is that Bay's interpretation is, not to put to fine a point on it, shit. Further, on your professed love of the travesty Armageddon I can only say, 'Why am I not surprised...' As an impending end-of-the-world-something-smashes-into-the-planet movie I feel Deep Impact was much better, and incredibly more satisfying than, say, any of Bay's movies put together. This is, of course, just my opinion from which yours will differ greatly, which is unfortunate as I am right and you are not, so :P

I too have noticed I respond well to structure. For instance, if I block out specific times for writing, or writing duties then I'm more likely to sit my butt down and roll with it. Of course, like you say Adam, it's not always easy; I don't know about you but those little voices inside my head that keep saying nasty things about my writing are, many times, hard to ignore. And I'm reserving my response to any Michael Bay baiting until I have a suitable rebuttal.

Thanks Mike, I got the idea from your Facebook post by the way. I meant to ask you if you had run into the War on Christmas when you said that.

Thanks Jenny! I'm 35 today, but, I don't really feel 35(whatever that's supposed to feel like), and I guess that's a good thing. Also, I've never had my boobs cut off(yet), so that's something at least...

Of course magnetic north and true north are different, duh!!! Who doesn't know that?!?! I....oh, I don't...... Nevermind.
