shiny new icons are shiny

I liked you better before you tried to be clever with the keywords.

At least this long creative run you seem to be on means that you're going to be posting like you're supposed to sometime soon. If terrible keywords are the price to pay for actually getting to do something this month, I suppose I can deal with it. Speaking of, you should probably start brainstorming ideas for tomorrow so you don't default to the cliché of posting a philosophical question.

... Posting this doesn't technically count as brainstorming, even if you claim it's getting you in the groove of things again.

I don't disagree. But then again, I've never really understood the whole inspiration and flow of creativity thing.

[kneecaptain]

Aren't you supposed to be a writer?

[bests]

I am a writer. But I've always been of the opinion that if you need to do something, or write something, you sit down and you do it til it's done.

[kneecaptain]

Not everything gets done in one sitting.

[bests]

I know. But in the context of writing, it is possible to write a chapter all in one go, depending on how long it is.

... In the context of other things, I'm suddenly realizing why I hated doing long-term observation and recon.

[kneecaptain]

No one likes that. That's why you hated it.

[bests]

No, I'll bet there's someone out there who enjoys sitting in a hotel room looking into another hotel room with a pair of binoculars. They probably don't do it professionally, though.

[kneecaptain]

What professional gets a hotel?

[bests]

Is that a rhetorical question?

[kneecaptain]

I never got a hotel.

[bests]

What, did you operate completely out of alleyways, roach motels, and safe-houses?

[kneecaptain]

Sometimes the woods.

[bests]

You didn't do much undercover work, did you?

[kneecaptain]

Not the long con, no. [He mostly just killed people.]

[bests]

Well, that explains it.

... Do you ever miss the army?

[kneecaptain]

How do you mean?

[He's still... sort of serving in his head :|a]

[bests]

I mean the uniform, the taking orders, the being... Well, you probably weren't stationed any one place, were you?

[kneecaptain]

And I didn't have the regular uniform, either.

[bests]

You never really did the regular army thing, did you? Well never mind that conversational direction, then.

Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?
