jennariaIn the event that any of y'all were worried.
Second of all: Wife and I went to see the live-action HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, which was fun, but did not...do anything? With live action, to differentiate itself from the cartoon? If you're gonna make a live-action remake - heck, if you're gonna do a remake at all - then there should be a reason for it that's not 'look at my shot-for-shot re-creation,' at least in my opinion. I still enjoyed the movie, not least because we went to an indy filmhouse that spent the half-hour ahead of the film doing an incomplete survey of dragons in movies and TV, rather than an assortment of advertisements, but I feel a little guilty for the enjoyment.
Third of all I ran headlong into writer's block on one of the stories I was writing. Boo, I say, and Boo again. I have vague ideas as to how to get myself unstuck, but only vague ones. Meanwhile I shall go off and world-build on my gloriously silly NaNoWriMo prompt.
(Fourth of all, does anyone know how to force wipe an old HP computer that won't give you the Settings menu? For relative amounts of old - I think it's still Windows 10. Wife says I'm safe to just give it the old heave-ho, but I don't trust there isn't financial information on it somewhere.)
