I have run completely out of brain to reply to people this week. I'm going to try and jump-start my reply-inator tomorrow, but we'll see how it goes.
so why. why why why. Do I so often come across fic where the author clearly a) doesn't have any idea how far apart two places are, or how to get from one to the other, and b) never thought to check google maps?
Just read a fic where one character is thinking that "it's only an 8-hour plane ride!"
and. I have driven basically between those two places.
It's a 6-hour drive unless traffic is really bad. if you hit the most congested bits exactly at rush hour, it might take you 8 hours. to drive.
Flying? Well, if you were starting at a small regional airport and needed to make a connection, it might take you four hours.
I actually mind this shit more than the big stuff. The big stuff is hard to research. Google Maps is really really quick and easy.

Fffffffuuuuuck, I just remembered some other ficlets I need to rescue from LJ.
...I'll probably be fine if I have a nap first, right?

Just a drive-by update for the sake of updating.
1) Happy birthday to my younger brother today! I got him a shirt with a smiling Mimic that says "I'm still a treasure"
2) I made an appointment for tomorrow morning for the Career Services department at the local community college, so I'm another step closer on my goal of becoming more employed
And now I move on to my night time routine. G'night!
