  • NaNoWriMo Update

    If you want to keep track of my progress, you can view my NaNoWriMo profile here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/userinfo.php?uid=62057 It’s going pretty well so far. What I really need to do is get an outline of my story sorted out (which is quite possibly what I’m worst at when it comes to story writing) as well as…

  • World War II and the War on Iraq

    I was reading someone’s blog the other day (I tried to find the link but couldn’t) and they compared the recent U.S. invasion of Iraq to the U.S.’s involvement in World War II. The parallel being made was that, in both instances, the U.S. was attacked by one country, then invaded (and subsequently defeated) another.…

  • NaNoWriMo

    Well, Phoenix has indirectly convinced me to participate in NaNoWriMo. While I’m not sure that I can finish a 175-page novel in thirty days, I do have a screenplay idea that I quite like, and I think getting anything down on paper, no matter the format, will be beneficial. Anyway, if I =do= finish the…

  • 86 Years Later…

    So Boston finally won another World Series. Now who are they going to blame for future losses?

  • My New Toy

    Yes, that’s new toy, singular. I got the camera, but no computer. I’m a bit miffed about the price of the camera. When we went to check it out on Saturday, they were offering a $100 mail-in rebate, which brought the price down to $899. When we went in to buy it last night, the…

  • Shocking Flora

    Well, I’m feeling a little bit better today, but I keep having these really painful sneezes. I think what’s happening is that phlegm is being thrown against my throat at about 100 mph. In any case, it hurts. And they happen so suddenly that they’re not the kind of sneezes I can disarm (you can…

  • Hello, Miss?

    I hate being sick. On Thursday night, I went to bed with one nostril plugged up and wondering why. Friday morning found me with a sore throat and by Friday evening I was definately feeling it. I almost didn’t make the bike ride home because I felt so drained. I spent this weekend relaxing as…

  • I Agree With Eminem

    In his new song, Eminem says, and I quote, “Fuck Bush”. Mosh: ASX or Real Audio and the lyrics.

  • Comments on Other Blogs

    The other day I mentioned that I had left some comments on people’s blogs that I wished I would have saved so that I could post them here. I went and found them, so here they are, along with the posts for which they are comments. From My Random Musings by Kate The Great: Have…

  • How to Eat Fried Brains

    I had a whole bunch of stuff I was going to blog about, but my brain is so fried from sitting here messing about online all day that I can’t remember what it all was. I do remember that yesterday I read Phoenix’s post about the Mega-Typhoon in Japan and thought, “not too likely we’ll…
