What the heck was that?

No, really. I zipped through my tivoed Lost episode tonight. I have no idea what any of it meant. I'm a seriously addicted fan but I'm, er, Lost. See what I did there? Oh, never mind. I get that the piano symbolized something about family or something and the brother and the religious imagery. But it all went weird and sideways and Twin Peaks on me with the visions of angels. Esh.

Okay, so on with the great novel du jour. I have about ten scenes written. Not good scenes but scenes. I watched an episode of the Gastineau Girls today. Man, they are just a testament to wasted space. I'm not sure what the premise is since I've only seen it that one time but were these women failed hookers? Or failed models? Or just failed human beings? It's all sort of vague. I thought they were one of those lampoon of reality shows at first. Apparently they are just stereotypes brought to life. But that's what I want my new character to be. A Gastineau girl who wakes up and decides to go...useful.

I was perusing real estate in Country Club of the South as a backdrop house for the parents. I love it there. It really is like a whole wonderland all it's own. Sigh....

Anwhoodles, maybe I'm losing my mind with the cake thing? Maybe I should just throw this on the books I'm toying with pile and proceed to the vampire book brainstorming. Or maybe I should just start on book two in the Panty series (and if you know me you know that is NOT a euphemism for anything).

Although I am starting to see a whole P&P angle out of the cake thing. No real plot or mystery but a Jane Austen moment sure. You know she's all too proud and he's all prejudice. Who he is? I have no clue. But I'm sure he'll arrive sooner or later. Although in the sort of stuff I write, maybe not. I've Netflixed P&P for inspiration . The really, really good version taht stole my heart with Colin Firth. Who stole my heart in Love Actually forever. He's totally my regency era boyfriend. Also, isn't it odd taht he played Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice and then played, well, Mr. Darcy in the movie that was based on the book that was ripped off of Pride and Prejudice? I'm sure there's some sort of record there.
