Still here

I haven't posted for a while, mainly because of a lack of anything interesting to say. I do have a new (to me) hard drive, a server-grade one this time, plus the files that were newer than the last backup (which was last month due to the disk problems), so that's good. The weather's been so hot though that I've been feeling too lacking in energy to do much more than in front of the portable air conditioner and read or knit or indeed both. This is apparently the hottest February on record and the constant high (70% plus) humidity apparently adds three degrees to how it feels. Today, however, is cooler which is a pleasant change. I went out and bought salady stuff because I've decided it was time to improve my eating habits. And now, at almost bedtime, I'm feeling hungry. Stupid body.

I can't even do the WIP folder challenge because I don't actually have any WIPs. I do have some story ideas I should tackle and bring down with my arms around their knees rather than just think about them. I'm a slack fan.

I've never seen Hustle though azdak recommended it, and though I adore Ducky and Abby, the rest of NCIS leaves me cold. Picky picky :)

By technical problem I meant writing problem. Most of the action (and it's more psychological than physical action) takes place at a big party; and the way I'm moving the various characters around and manipulating what they see and how they're being perceived is clumsy at best. If I had a camera I'd know how to move it, how deep the focus should be now, what detail I want to highlight, etc. but getting that restless moving effect with words is beyond me right now. It's OK though, I think I learned something working on it.

I love Ducky and Abby, though I have to look away during most of Ducky's scenes; ugh. Gibbs has grown on me and I like Ziva despite her past. I've only just finished season 4 though; about to start 5.

You see through a camera like I do! I know how hard it is to transcribe that, and without giving far too much visual detail. :-) Hmm. Could you put each person's bit in two or three columns, overlapping if they take place at the same time?
