Alcatraz Pimpage

Is anyone else on my F-list watching Alcatraz besides me and Ais? It's the latest bit of timey whimeyness from JJ Abrams (Lost, Fringe, Alias). If you are and you're interested in a comm for it, alcatraz_on_fox seems to be a fairly nifty place with a fair amount of activity for a show that has only aired three eps. Alcatraz is an interesting concept and it has Hurley and that gorgeous East Indian girl who was on ER and Bend it Like Beckham, and a blonde female lead whose characterization I quite like. Also the always creepy Sam Neill playing someone...well, very creepy.

Hulu?

I'm thinking about getting a Hulu Plus account. Does anyone have one? Do you still have to watch the dumb commercials if you have the paid account? Also, can more than one computer be signed in at the same time with one membership like at Netflix, where we could be streaming different things on every computer in the house if we wanted to? Or can only one computer be logged in at a time? You know how www.fox.com and www.cwtv.com make you wait eight days to watch a show free on their website? If you have the plus account do you still have to wait the eight days? Or is it next day like the more reasonable network shows? I really, really hate the idea of waiting 8 days to watch Fringe, Terra Nova, The Vampire Diaries, and The Secret Circle. Not enough to shell out the over $100 bucks a month to our county's monopolistic cable company or anything, but still.

Oh, yeah, that writing thing

I wrote a little bit today, which surprised me, because quite frankly physical therapy wiped me the heck out and I went down for a two hour nap afterwards. But, and this is the best part, when I woke up I was only in a little bit of pain. Maybe 2 to 3 on a 10 point scale. I have not taken painkillers of any sort all day today, just used an icepack off and on. Progress!

But anyway, I wrote about 300 words. I am hoping to finish chapter three of It Lies Unwritten tomorrow. The rest of the story is completely plotted out so it's not like it should be hard, but you never know where your mind is going to go. And maybe I'll work on one of the WiPs. Tomorrow is the first day in a long time where I don't have any responsibilites (you know, other than the usual keeping the kids fed and watered thing).

I'm leaning towards You're What? or Three Hour Tour. Having some issues with Leap of Faith, and quite frankly it is so plot heavy it requires a lot more concentration to write it than the more fluffy or smutty things. Though I may not really be in a place to write smut either. We shall see tomorrow. If I don't want to write smut, I can always figure out what Jack has been doing all this time at that bordello in Three Hour Tour.

Concentration has not been my strong suit this week and I really do need that for LoF. I hope I get it back next week. I'd like to get that story moving again.
