Day two of exhaustion, brain fog, cramps, and general wooziness. I am starting to suspect that, period-wise, I get either COMPLETE EMOTIONAL MELTDOWN, or feeling like I'm coming down with the flu. I don't like either choice, obviously.

While being flopped on the couch today I did manage to get a GCS update written and sent off to my awesome beta readers. Next, I will try working on the fiction project and hope that Words Are Not Gone.

In geebling fangirl news (you've missed such updates, admit it): the video for "Na Na Na" by MCR premiers on MTV next Thursday night. I hope it will be available on iTunes VERY SOON afterward. Also, they've posted the information for the Danger Days: "California 2019 Edition" Box Set of the album. (clicky-link!) CD, photo book, "bad luck" wooden bead bracelet, ray gun, mask, and 3-song EP from The Mad Gear & Missile Kid. (No, I don't know who they are, either.) This may come a shock to many of you, but I'm NOT purchasing this.

(Stop asking if I'm delirious with fever. I'M FINE.)

I think it's a nifty collection of stuff, but it doesn't have me pawing at the monitor in the way that the pretty black velvet limited edition box for The Black Parade did. So, not buying it.

Wow, I would like to stop feeling quite so head-spinny now. I have things I need to do!

Would a recommendation for an awesome chocolate help?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

That ALWAYS helps, yes.

[bork.livejournal.com]

OK!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!

It is the Official Seattle Sounders FC Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar, made by Seattle Chocolates. http://www.seattlechocolates.com/store/dark-chocolate/seattle-sounders-dark-chocolate-truffle-bar.html

They also have an Official Seattle Sounders FC Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar, also made by the soccer loving fiends at Seattle Chocolates. http://www.seattlechocolates.com/store/milk-chocolate/seattle-sounders-milk-chocolate-truffle-bar.html

I've had the Dark Chocolate one, and it's seriously good. And not just because it's Sounders FC chocolate, either.

They can be found at the Sounders FC ProShop (no, seriously - I've seen them there) and QFC.

Sounders. Chocolate. Ooooo-kaaay.

[bork.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! Tourists and soccer fiends love them. And, the Sounders give them away to kids at their pre-match festivities.

I bought a couple bars, and ate part of one to celebrate the Sounders winning the US Open Cup on Tuesday.

They are nom.

You need to get better for tomorrow night! :(

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

Your concern for others is touching.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I do not know if I will be well enough to go out tomorrow. Plus, I think StuntHusband will be in PDX.

NEXT Friday, however, we will be Going Out. You will join us!

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

Next Friday is the day after my birthday and maybe I don't want to release him.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

THAT'S why the date was pinging me! I knew there was something. :)

(Unless we can lure you out, too?)

I know this month coming up, in which lots and lots of people will write 50,000 words each. What's your excuse for not doing it this time? Hmmmmmm?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

::shuffles feet::

I'm 7,920 words into the project? Wait, that's not an excuse, is it?

[torreybird.livejournal.com]

Not much of an excuse. Pretty weak, in fact.

So that must mean you subconsciously know it's a good idea...

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do know it's a good idea. I'm just also a smidge terrified of it.

(Stop giving me that look!)

[torreybird.livejournal.com]

This year, I'm also terrified. I've been doing so much writing at work, that when I poke my writing brain at the end of the day, it says "meh. what?" and then blub-blubs like jello.

And yet, I'm signed up anyway. Once more into the madness, say I...

[satellite6.livejournal.com]

Ugh... hope you feel better soon. I've been there. Sometimes boosting my iron seems to help a little. Maybe that's something to try?

Like you, I'm passing on the deluxe edition of Danger Days. I'll be fine with just the CD or vinyl. :)

[silverhawthorn.livejournal.com]

I confess, I had the initial spasm of COVET!covetcovetcovet when I saw the news about the box set but now I'm wishing I could buy just the cds and the photo book (really want the photo book!). I don't need MCR toys right now. My suitcase is full.

N.B.: The Mad Gear & Missle Kid are the band(s) mentioned in that early Dr. DD tweet about a show, and hot pants (or was it short shorts?) being required. It's music from the ~future!

But most importantly, in this freakin' tome of a comment, I'm sending you well wishes, and lots of little bubbly healing vibes. They're fizzy.

1. Yay GCS update!
2. I used to worry before I was out at work that I'd have a meltdown there. No more.
