Nothing Ever Gets Done Until You Have a Deadline
Proven. At least for me. Tuesday morning I did an interview for Creative Screenwriting magazine. Basically, it consisted of the interviewer being very nice and patient while I blundered like an idiot for 50 minutes. I think she’ll make me sound good, regardless of how much it may have seemed like I was puffin’ away…
Amazon’s PayPhrase Feature
Awesome security feature? Decent way to speed up checkout? Or just a chance to be snarky to customers? You decide. PayPhrase Suggested by Amazon: Ouch.
Why Do You Laugh When You are Tickled?
Warning: I am not Bill Nye, the Science Guy. I do not have a logical explanation. I’m more at the stage of utter confusion when it comes to this very serious physiological question. Is tickling an enjoyable sensation? We shriek. We yelp. We try to get away. And, yet, while it’s happening, we laugh. Does…

Oh God, Riley! I’m so sorry! I hate when that happened. And not to ask a stupid question, but did you intentionally try to close Word? If not, did you go back in? I know that sometimes if Word shuts down unexpectedly, it’ll sometimes bring up an autosave copy of the document. You’ve probably already tried that, though. I know it’s saved my hiney multiple times.
My heart is breaking for you. HUGS AND KISSES! I would also wholeheartedly support a prescription for valium for you. Love you lots.
I feel sick. That story makes me feel physically ill, just reading it. You must be gutted.
*gives you big huge super-sdooper hugs*
*and some fairy floss, because it’s sweet and fluffy and will make you feel an entirely different kind of sick*
Upping my archaeological search for that elusive genie and magic lamp. Of course the three more wishes clause will not come into effect for that. And if I saved a wish for myself I’d probably waste it so… Actually… I ‘wish’ Random Riley’s unsaved WMC VS epsiode was recovered and perfectly unharmed with a clause for auto-saving every couple of minutes.
My fingers are crossed.
Until then, knock back a rum and let the fightin’ drink do it’s work. 🙂 Maybe watch a few WMC episodes to boogie you on back in the groove.
i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you!!!!
i’m sooooo sorry!!!!!
i believe in you, riley!
by the way, i thought the last episode was awsome!
Sending hugs. It sucks so much when things like that happen, I’m sorry.
I know you’re going to be great in the end, but I also feel with you right now.
Urrgh. I hate that, but there is the recovery file if you closed down without saving? As my buddy would say “how about a cup of tea…?”
I assume I intentionally closed Word only because it didn’t recover when I immediately reopened it. Like I said, I don’t know what in the hell happened.
Gutted… that’s a good word for it. I was going to compare to having a baby ripped from your arms on the street, but I figured there would be an uproar. I’m not talking about lifelong suffering. Just the initial shock.
Thanks for the love, Tara 😉 And thank everybody else. I’m thinkin’ maybe the rum in the tea?
That sucks, but I’m sure everything’s still on your cerebral hard drive.
You can do this. You’re Riley. You once wrote an entire 50-page WMC script in 24 hours. And it was pretty damn good if I recall.
How’bout I send a couple of cute cheerleaders your way. One brunette, one redhead? I ‘ll make sure not to employ the same agency that screwed up my skywriting message. 😉
Heh… I appreciate the encouragement and the offer, but if you send those cheerleaders over here there’s no way in hell I’ll get anything done 😉
Just came back from work to see… you did it! yay!
