What's the correct verb to use to describe what a plot bunny is doing when it's firmly got a hold of you and has wrestled you into submission?

Nice photo and video, @MrPixel. The number of balloons isn't the biggest difference I see between your event and the Balloon Fiesta. The biggest difference is the number of people. The first-ever balloon fiesta was a small event in a shopping mall parking lot, but pictures of that event show the balloons surrounded by a crowd of spectators. Now the event averages 100,000 spectators a day. It's like filling a large stadium nine days in a row.C found a balloon launch pic taken from our backyard, two years after the one with the trains. Not Albuquerque by any stretch, but our own personal up-and-close:

It does raise the suspense, doesn't it?Kudos on the smash cut from a tense military standoff at a place with nuclear weapons to coffee and donuts.
They've shut down the airport a few times, too. Never for very long. The pilots are told where they can and can't fly, but sometimes I guess they don't realize where they are. But how can they not see a busy commercial airport and realize the implications?It does raise the suspense, doesn't it?
I just happened to be visiting the Sandia Optical Range at the time, and got to see the vehicles converging on the crashed cupola. The actual balloon part draped over the outer fence.
It looks like my apple crisp is a big hit so get some before it's gone.
If you ice as soon as you get home, it should help some.Sitting in the waiting room while my SO has a colonoscopy. Under general, so I get to drive home, the farthest I have driven in the last five+ months. My knee is going to throb tomorrow I suspect. Should be nothing but BIL had colon cancer, so they check regularly
My SO gets to eat tonight!
Unfortunately, icing hurts. The swelling is the only thing holding my knee in place. It's just recovering from the bone on bone grinding I get while driving.If you ice as soon as you get home, it should help some.
It usually does for my face at first too. I just keep it in place till the numbness kicks in. However, if it hurts at first then you should definitely talk with your doctor before trying.Unfortunately, icing hurts. The swelling is the only thing holding my knee in place.

But I made it.
Time to feed the MC some snickerdoodles?@sirhugs - Muse hides out in the corner which is why I'm always over there when I write ...
It's another cool morning with highs expected in the 70's this afternoon. I'm into the fourth day of no pain anywhere and I'm starting to wonder if I'm still alive or am like Bruce Willis in 'The Sixth Sense.'
There's a pot of coffee brewing and the teapot is hot. There are donuts and snickerdoodles on the counter. I boiled down a ham bone yesterday to make some stock. Once I make stew out of it, I'll bring some in to share.
I'll be over in the corner working on my story. I need my Muse today because I'm staring at the keyboard and nothing is coming to mind ...
Absolutely ...Time to feed the MC some snickerdoodles?
I dare you to, next time you stall, write "And then they reached for a snickerdoodle". Just to see if that kicks the muse's butt into gear.Absolutely ...
You just melted my heart with snickerdoodles, CK.There are donuts and snickerdoodles on the counter.
