NaNoWriMo 2010

So I'm doing this whole NaNoWriMo thing this November (or, you know, now...) and in reading their book (which, yes, I should have done at least a month ago) I learned that it's not uncommon to have other creative "surges" while one is trying to write a novel in 30 days.

That said, I'm not specifically saying I'm going to be more blog-attentive, or that I'm going to re-do the whole site. But I also wouldn't be surprised if I did.

Or at least thought really hard about it, when I should be typing novel pages...

*tap, tap, tap*...

...is this thing on? Anyone still out there? I have my doubts...

So, I've been reading bzzzzgrrrl's blog during lunch the past few days -- trying to catch up since I haven't read it since March (not sure how that happened, except that it's probably the same reason I haven't written in so long), and it's taking surprisingly long, because I rarely take a full lunch, and because bzzzzgrrrl (who I have in the past referred to as OriginalWeb, mainly because I can never remember how many "z's" and "r's" there are...) posts, you know, regularly -- like multiple times a day in some cases, and she has people regularly commenting... It's like how an actually blog should be, in other words... I am shamed by comparison...

Anyway, lots of stuff happened (much of it mundane and boring) and some of it mildly interesting (or at least I can make the retellings sound so...) So there's a lot in the brain buffer (I'd say about 8 or so posts). I'm going to try to be better about this, but I can't promise anything -- I try to be better almost every day and still fail regularly... I doubt I'd make it up to the standard bzzzzgrrrl has set, anyway.

Plus, I spend too much time on EBay...

More soon.

Brain buffer count: +7

Template mods in progress

Mind the dust...

Yet another sign...

...of the breakdown of society? Every time one of these types of stories shows up (and what's up with that?) people go on and on about how we don't know our neighbors and the speeding up of the pace of our society has destroyed the human connections. I sort of wonder how long people have been saying that...

In other news, OriginalWebb tells me that the sporadic blogger "phenomenon" wherein my posts don't appear right away has returned. So if you missed my birthday post or any of the stuff from February, please by all means, check them out.

Hopefully, a bit more later in the week, including the exciting world of plumbing repairs and bathroom remodeling...

Several reports of problems...

...seeing new stuff I've posted to the blog. Please try refreshing it. That is, assuming you see this posting... I think it's something to do with the new Blogger...
