The past six days have been gloriously lazy. I had the time off work (just to use up vacation time) and have spent most of the past week napping, reading, re-watching old favorite movies, and a dab of writing.

Just a dab of writing, though. Not nearly enough. I told myself that I'd write 15k while on vacation, and if I am lucky, I will hit half of that. But probably not. That's okay, though, because after days of poking and prodding, I'm starting to get into my new story. It's just a novella  -- another side project to keep me busy -- but it's in my Succubus Diaries universe featuring entirely different characters. It's really kind of fun to play with characters from an entirely different angle, though I worry that the story is too serious for my tastes.

You know me, not a big fan of serious.

Other than that, I watched Pride & Prejudice (2005), Pride and Prejudice (1995) and Lost in Austen. I expected to hate Lost in Austen but I found it very cleverly done. I never knew where they were taking the story, and some of the characters had unexpected twists to them (Georgiana, you ho!). Diehard Austenites might not appreciate the story, but I did.

I am excited that all the TV shows are coming back this fall, and soon! My favorite TV night is Thursday night, in which we have the back-to-back of Survivor and Supernatural. The two best TV shows around, IMO. I'm also looking forward to the new season of Dexter, more Robot Chicken, and more Ghost Hunters. Oh, and Destination Truth. My husband SWEARS that he will not be caught dead watching it, but I love that show for its sheer silliness.

Speaking of Robot Chicken, if you are not watching it, you are missing out on some AWESOME stuff, such as this:
