Stay on target...

This writing thing is so much easier when you have no other commitments - like dinner with friends (which was excellent, btw. Mmmm.... steak....). And the rest of the week is shaping up to be even worse. Still, so far I'm making my targets, so I can't complain too much.

Mini NaNo Counts
Yesterday: 837 \o/
Today: 611 words
Story Total: 3301

It is slightly sobering to think that in the first week I've made less than two days target for NaNo proper.

On the Hercules-watching front (yes, I'm still going), I think I have mentioned before the joys of catching 'before they were stars' roles in B-grade series. Today's guest star is Catherine Bell (Mac from JAG), and the notable guest on yesterday's episode was none other than Karl Urban - shirtless, in leather pants, leather harness, and wings. With blond hair. I can provide screencaps as proof if required - it's quite a look!

Today's Hercules also includes a dragon terrorising villages. Now I have 'Trogdor the Burninator' stuck in my head, something I could definitely have done without as I try to go to sleep.

Trogdor!
(there was nothing like the day my inorganic chemistry professor walked into class and drew Trogdor on the blackboard. Except for maybe later that year when he, along with two other chemistry professors, sand the Trogdor song before the senior thesis presentations)

TROGDOR! Burninating the peasants!

(also, yay Hercules. I've been oddly craving it on and off the last year. And go, NaNo, go!)

I WANT UR PROFESSORS!

Hee - Hercules is just so cheesy and ridiculous, I love it! (And a few other cheesy and ridiculous 90s shows as well - I think it might be a guilty pleasure of mine.)

I'm taking a mythology class and we actually watched a few minutes of the first episode of said Hercule series (I'm assuming you mean the one staring Kevin Sorbo). My friends and I are all dying to see "Hercules in New York" now, which is about as bad as it sounds, in the best possible way. (Starring young!Arnold to boot!)

Yup, the Kevin Sorbo series.

Have you seen Hercules Returns? I've never seen it, but heard it is (intentionally) hilarious.

I don't remember Hercules Returns, but I do remember the hilarious Young Hercules (probably mostly unintentially) with a pre-fame Ryan Gosling. Oh, you crazy kid and the roles you had to take. (Breaker High for the... something.)

It's one of the things I love about Hercules - all those 'before they were famous' roles!

Oh! And Claudia Black was on Hercules too! <3

Thanks for the heads up! Off to watch...
