{ another GIP & train troubles }

[delga]

So, I have a pointless seminar today but I'm going to go so I can book train tickets on the way. See? Productivity! When I get back, I MUST find my poetry essay title and then I will hopefully have some song recs. Oh, today I realised that I don't have movie editor on my laptop (or any of my PSP brushes but that's another discussion entirely) so uploading to megaupload or YSI is a pain, especially considering that I really want to help noorie et al out by providing a couple of mirrors. I want to do it a few times because I'll delete the files off the laptop after a while.

The fic is...well, progressing, at least. We've moved from the original point of action to the secondary point of action and I'm writing this CHRONOLOGICALLY, so, for once, the action isn't actually going in reverse. But! But, but. But I find writing linearly difficult and my OC is in danger of being s Mary Sue. Which, for the record, I hate. I need to map her details more thoroughly, and I need to map the boys' details out waaaay more thoroughly. I want to get it to a place where I can post at least part of it (sort of like the Numb3rs fic). Thing is, with this kind of fandom, you need to stick to urban legend without wandering off into plastic BtVS territory. So I also need to research/rrevise my knowledge of herbs and flowers. Yeeeeeah.

Train tickets will be the death of me. Because I'm going home on Tuesday, I need a ticket to London, a return from London to Peterborough, and then a ticket from London to Reading. PAINFUL. And the websites are all really dumb. I just want preliminary prices so I can talk to that guy at the SU travel centre and then he can screw around with all those little details. But I don't want him to overcharge me and I need very specific times if I want to get to places on time. I can't even get a weekend saver because, guess what? Tuesday is midweek argh.

Must do this, then. And my reading, oh god, my reading!
