First thing. NaNo. I was going to update on the first day, but that... did not happen.
But today's the seventh, so I think a week's update is sufficient.
At the moment, I'm completely and totally in love with the story and I'm not even to the really good parts yet. It's been ridiculously easy to write. As of tonight, I have about 12.5k words - ahead of schedule!
And then today, we saw Wreck-It Ralph which was, in a better man's words, fantastic. Ralph was a great character, Vanellope was flipping ADORABLE, and Felix and the Hero's Duty lady and King Candy and - Merlin's beard, it was just a good movie.
"I'm okay - it just glazed me!"
"Why are your hands so freakishly big?"
"I don't know - why are you so freakishly annoying?"
"You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?"
*WHACK*
"Okay, you hit a guy... with glasses. That's clever. Well-played."
"They invited Pac-Man? That cherry-chasing dot-muncher?"
And I admit that half of its charm was the game references. I actually did play a lot of those games (Frogger. In the background. Oh yes, one happy girl here), and I was having a flip-out when I saw Sonic doing ads for 'not dying' outside one's own game.
So yeah. NaNo, going pretty well on schedule. Wreck-It Ralph is a must see. That's it for me.
