asimplechordI have a vague idea of something to write for my YAGKAS fic, but I am just not feeling inspired. I think I need to rewatch a few episodes of Generation Kill to get inspired or something. Blah. Partly the problem is that the pairing my recipient requested is really really not one I can write, but the back-up gen fic idea needs something more specific, some single thing as a plot point for the rest of the story to bloom from or towards. Urgh. Seriously, the "sometimes it's like pulling teeth" tag is my writing tag for a reason.
On the other hand, the idea of writing a bb!Oilers Star Wars AU is sort of eating my brain. Which is sad, because Jess Skinner's story is outlined and half-written, but unlikely to be posted as anything except snippets and comment fic.
So, our new-ish washer? Is supposed to only use high efficiency detergent. I stopped by Target and picked up a bottle of Tide (because that's what they had with the little HE label) and we've been using it for the last few weeks, and I kept getting this whiff of watered-down lemon, a sort of Dawn dish soap-y smell that I did not like, but it wasn't consistent. Then I washed our sheets and put them directly back on the bed. Crawled into bed that night and realized that the odor I'm really not liking is the detergent, and sometimes it's stronger than others because the clothes in my closet are a mix of recently washed and washed-before-we-switched. D: I hate to waste an entire bottle of detergent, but I really do no like the smell.
More data analysis today. \o/? At least being stuck at my desk yesterday meant I could listen to the Aeros game. WTF, puck dropping at 10:30am on a weekday? Also, why does the the Aeros powerplay suck so hard at home but they lead the the AHL west in % PPG on the road?
