charliesmumWell, I took the plunge and signed up for NaNoWriMo. I thought it would be a good way to force myself to try to finish the mystery story I started awhile ago. I got stuck on the plot - I couldn't decide who to make the bad guy, and was hit with what I hope was inspiration the other day, so maybe I'll actually finish it.
In other news, I'm feeling slightly better - actually getting sleep last night helped a bit. Though I had really odd dreams. On the other hand, Charlie's cold is getting slightly worse. He had sort of a bad day in school yesterday, and I blamed it on his not sleeping well, but sometimes I worry things are happening there that is making him upset. I know 3rd grade was when school started getting kind of sucky for me, although I had an excellent teacher, so I worry. It didn't help that he kept telling me he didn't want to go to school tomorrow (i.e. today)and that he was only going to go to school 'for an hour' because he didn't feel well. Today, however, went by with no calls from the school, so I guess he got over it. Because I totally wouldn't put it past him to insist on going home if he really wanted to.
Just want to gab about this for a moment.
While I appreciate the need for the 'rift' I think it is going on far too long. It's like when Xena and Gabby had their 'rift' - okay, nice and dramatic, but the...ahem...friendship was the heart of the show, and when it was lost the show really teetered. (Not that Lorelei is going to be dragging Rory through the streets of Stars Hollow or anything) I'm totally tired of Rory and Lorelei not speaking. Their relationship is the whole point of the show. Get on with the making up already. Bored now.
I had no problem with Rory being good at the DAR shindig. Her mother is an excellent smoozer/hostess, so there is no reason Rory wouldn't be either. And I don't think there is anything wrong with Rory wanting to check out the ritzy lifestyle. Who says that being rich has to equal being horrible? Someone has to do it.
And Logan. While one wants to say 'oh, boo hoo, you have to have a high paying job that has 100% job security and never have to worry a day in your life' there is something to the idea of not wanting to do a job he may not have the talent or inclination to do. He's not been given the choice. Maybe he wants to be a war correspondent. I do hope there will be some sort of confrontation with Logan and Rory - she's trying to be the society wife, and he should say 'hey, I liked you because you weren't that way. I don't want to live that life, and if you do, then we can't be together.' or something.
And if Rory doesn't go back to Yale by the end of the 1st half of the season, I'll be annoyed.
