This week's My Pet Blog drinking game: do a shot every time I mention Veronica Mars and/or how freakin' excited I am to see the movie this weekend. (Please play responsibly.)

So, yeah. I'm going to be fangirling pretty hard this week—harder than usual, I mean—and I thought it might be wise to set myself some goals to help ground me a little as I count down the very moments to the premiere of the Veronica Mars movie. (shot #1! or #2, if you count the opening disclaimer.)

These goals are:

1. Complete re-watch of the Veronica Mars series in preparation of viewing the Veronica Mars movie. (Shot #2. Or #3. Players' choice.)

I'm at the beginning of season three right now and, if I've done my math right, I need to watch three episodes a day in order to finish by Friday evening. My day job will make this probably my biggest challenge of the week, but I will persevere. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. Right?

2. Finalize Effigy's blurb. 

No more drafts. It needs to be over and done with, and that's going to happen this week. Thanks again, by the way, to everyone who provided much needed feedback on that last draft.

3. Work out plot problems in Second Nature's chapters 22-24.

I know where the story currently is, and I know where I want it to end up. I just need to figure out how to properly build the bridge that'll connect the two. Maybe I'll find the answer in season three of Veronica Mars... (I just really wanted everyone to do another shot. #3/4, y'all!)

4. Walk at least 10 miles this week.

There's a lot of couch time in my immediate future.(VERONICA MARS! #4/5) I need to offset it somewhat.

5. Don't throw a temper tantrum if the big snowstorm they're predicting for midweek actually hits.

This winter has sucked for so many of us, I know. It's had me seriously wondering why I don't live in some tropical paradise somewhere (spiders, snakes, and lizards, mostly), but I am a lifelong New Englander, so I will suck it up and deal. Because, hey, what's another foot of freakin' snow at this point? At least it'll cover up the six inches of ice coating my driveway, right? Seriously, snow. You and I are going to have a confrontation.

My relationship with snow this winter.

Everyone do a shot!

What's on your agenda this week?
