Does it make me a geek that I'm actually EXCITED over this?

I want this. So. Bad.

I'd just have to come up with the money for it, and then resign myself to working on UT out in the living room, where our resident Mac is.  I'm not sure how well that'd work, but I'm totally willing to give it a try.

SO.  Fun weekend!  Tora and I took Darwin down to Petsmart, and then we went to the park where I took D for a nice leisurely walk while Tora... napped in the car.  It was a gorgeous, gorgeous day -- mid-to-upper 70's, with a fantastic breeze.  We wore shorts.  This is actually my favorite time of year in Florida.  The humidity is way down, and the highest temps we get are about 80 degrees, which, when coupled with a nice breeze, is really quite pleasant. 

We got back from the park and puttered around the house a bit before deciding to watch one of the Netflix movies -- a rilly bad teen flick called "Stick It."  So very formulaic.  Usually fluffy teen flicks are a guilty pleasure of mine, but I caught myself zoning out more than once.  It's also put me in a mood to watch "The Breakfast Club."

Sunday was nice and relaxed -- I made breakfast (first time since the Stomach Virus Sent From Satan) and we watched "Flyboys," which wasn't too bad, all things considered.  Then there was more puttering and Tora and I made dinner together (it's starting to be a Thing we do on Sundays -- I like it), then we watched the FMA movie.  I... actually quite liked it.  Tora was more ambivalent about it.  He doesn't see it as a proper ending.  I'm quite satisfied with the way it ended.  *shrug*

I have to work today but not tomorrow, and then class on Wednesday.  (OMG, getting v. burnt out on these accelerated classes.  Not. Fun.  I miss being an English major.)

OMG. I WANT that program! And here I had jsut been wanting a big white board to brain storm on. Must Have! Does it only work on a Mac?!

Yeah, that's the only downside as far as I can tell -- it only works on a Mac. We HAVE a Mac, which is currently being used for media storage, but there is room enough on it for me to transfer my original fiction there.

BUT ISN'T IT PRETTY?

GET IT. I don't care how you get the money. Hell, I'll send it to you! Just GET THAT PROGRAM.

I'd been using another program called CopyWrite when I stumbled across Scrivener in its initial incarnation called Scrivener Gold. I really liked it and started using the betas of the main program when they began coming out and I absolutely adore it. For all of my non one-shot work, I use that program. I have it installed in two places, on the laptop and my main computer at work. It's been nothing but a joy to use and I absolutely love it. It's the best writing software I've ever came across and definitely a bargain considering that some writing programs are more than $100.

Drat. I have this fancy smancy computer and thus far it's a glorified storage bin for all of our anime. I think my husband gets a kick out of showing people it can run Oblivion though. It does look like a lovely program though and I am looking for some sort of kick in the pants regarding my writing... Le sigh. Maybe they'll make it for windows.

There's only one scene in Stick It that I loved and it was when Wei Wei got up and break danced on the balancing beam. Other than that I can ignore the rest of the movie.

And no, it does not make you a geek.

Bleh. That Scrivener thing just renders flashy all the things that people already do on Word. Such is the way of Mac.

Don't mind me. I woke up at 3AM with the lights blazing. I must've passed out around nine. All this because I was up late Sunday night writing highly inappropriate P&P fanfic...
