Agh. I have between three and three and a half hours (depending on whether I'm actually going to AC Moore before work) before I leave the house for the day. The only thing I am required to do before leaving the house is shower. That leaves two-and-three-quarters to three-and-one-quarter hours with nothing to do other than consume media and be creative. So why am I having such trouble settling down to watch a twenty-odd-minute episode?

Also, A Song of Angry Fen could do with some love, since there's only a week till deadline and I only have a little over half minimum word count, but fic_promptly's lonely-prompts challenge is calling out to me. For the first time, I should add, in forever. (My fan_flashworks entry is the first one in just over a year. I have no idea when I fic_promptlyed last.)

is it still lazywebs if I ask after a failure of google-fu?

I recall entering, and advertising here, several contests using a particular web application. Book promotion contests, mostly or entirely. I can't remember whose contests or where or what the application is called. DuckDuckGo doesn't acknowledge that I ever used the word 'contest' in any of my posts ever, Google is coming up entirely unhelpfulness and so is Dreamwidth journal search, and I know perfectly well I didn't tag those posts because why would I have needed to refer back to them? And it's hard to run a contest (or to poke someone else into running a contest) using a particular web application if one has no idea even of what the application is called.

I have three weeks to worry about this, since that's when summer registration begins, but: All the courses I want to take this summer are four credits. Except one of the two I need to take to get Fs off my transcript from the Summer of Doom. And that three-credit course is apparently only available summers and I don't want to wait another year to take it, and I don't want to attempt fifteen credits again, and I'm pretty sure taking fewer than twelve in any given term screws with my financial aid for that term.

It really is ridiculous. Money and Banking, which is the other of those two courses? Four credits. Spanish 1? Four credits. Any biological science plus lab? Four credits. Leisure and Culture? Four credits. Marketing? Four credits. Communication and Culture in Cyberspace? Three credits, which makes it mathematically impossible to take it while hitting twelve to fourteen total credits.

(I should be fair and point out that none of the women's studies or writing courses are more than three credits (excepting maybe WGSS internship which is not this year anyway) and probably if/when a queer studies course shows up it'll be only three credits, but I don't think I'm doing any of them this summer. Look at that list above.)
