Offer for the help_japan auction

The more I watch, the more horrified I get. This really puts life in perspective for me, as I guess it does for oh so many people out there.

I've made an offering of fic or beta job over at help_japan. Minimum of 2000 words for fic, beta of fic of any length; one fic/beta job per person for the three highest bidders. I don't know if anyone's going to want to bid on me, but at least I feel like I'm doing my bit.

I'm starting work on my dissertation tomorrow, for real this time. I have no idea if I'll even be able to write that fic I have due this Saturday; I'll do my best, though. I just feel so unsettled right now; I wonder if it'll end up bursting out of me in millions of words of fic, or if it's going to fizzle out for a while. I'm thinking the former, frankly. I always work better under pressure.

In other news, drove for five and a half hours today to see my gran. I can barely keep my eyes open, but I can't look away from CNN. What about those nuclear power stations, eh? I can't even.
