How do you say 'random' in Czech?

•Does anybody know a good place to find/translate Czech phrases? I need a couple of Czech prayers for Zelenka to say. Where oh where is my babble fish?

•The problem with having written a 25,000 word story is that you then have to edit a 25,000 word story.

•A little scene from the other night:

Trin is walking up a large hill with her parents to view 4th of July fireworks. There have been several other hills prior to this.

Trin's Dad: *feeling the burn* Oh, good--more butt action!
Trin & Trin's Mom: *look at each other* *burst out laughing*

Later that same night, my mom was also heard saying, "Wow! Look at those enormous balls!" (She was talking about huge globular flowers.)

•A little scene from this morning:

Trin's Mom puts the kettle on and then disappears. It starts to whistle desperately. Trin runs across the house like a huge dork and shuts it off.

Trin's Dad: Wow! You could be a firefighter.
Trin: Heh. Firefighter AU.
Trin's Dad: Huh?
Trin: Uh...there was an episode of SG-1 where they were all firefighters.
Trin's Dad: Has there been an accountant AU? There should be an accountant AU.
Trin: *starts picturing John as the kind of lazy, effortlessly good with numbers accountant, and Rodney as the uptight, frenzied, brilliant accountant, and they make mad accountant love*
Trin's Dad: And they should all be named Morris.
Trin: I hate you.

•I just wrote copy about La Toya Jackson. My life is surreal.

There was an episode of SG1 where they were all firefighters!!? The things I missed.

I thought you were kidding at first, but then I thought I'd better google it before I start laughing and end up looking like an idiot, and, um, it is real?

The problem with having written a 25,000 story is that you then have to edit a 25,000 word story.

*sighs* So true. For the last five months, I've been trying to edit a 23.000 word story that took me three weeks to write.

I would NEVER joke about the firefighters! *g*

And yeah, editing. Ami and I are going through the same thing with out 70,000 word behemoth. But still, I hope you finish soon, 'cause I want to read it!

That story does not want to be finished. First I was jossed and had to spend some time rewriting, then cesperanza wrote a story with so many similar scenes except better that I decided I needed some more revision so that people wouldn't think I was ripping her off in a really clumsy way, and then z_rayne did the same thing with a different plot thread.

So by now I'm stuck with a monster that doesn't even resemble the first version much anymore it's been rewritten so much, and it feels kind of like three different stories smudged into one, with bumps and cracks where the edges didn't quite match.

Also, it was written several months ago, and I improved enough during that time that I cringe at parts of it.

On top of that, one of my betas has a newborn baby, one has a really hard time at work, one has a really hard time privately, and with one I totally didn't manage to reply to both her emails in time because I was feeling depressed, and now I feel kind of embarrassed about asking her again.

*our behemoth. What was I saying about editing again?
