Fun for You While I Panic
So while I'm over here wibbling madly at my screen in hopes that 10,000 maniacs words are somehow going to appear on my Roughdraft file and bring my NaNo up to where it ought to be, I figured I'd toss out some links. Man, if could count what I've typed for LJ, email, IM, and random nonsense this month, I'd have hit 50,000 within the second week. Sigh.
Anyway, here's a list of entertaining metaphors, and here's a fantastic message board thread in which the members post hilariously awful and otherwise bizarre old-school Superman comics covers. The thread descends into bickering toward the very end (what thread doesn't?), but then someone comes along with brain-melting Archie covers and lets things end on a somewhat higher note. Whatever the DC writers were smoking, I want some. It might let me finish the NaNo on time.
And now I'm sleepy despite two bottles of Diet Coke. And I have to teach elementary school tomorrow. Woe, woe. Maybe I should cut off the heat and see if the shivers keep me awake.
