It seems like forever since I posted. Looks like it has been over a month. The holidays were crazy, which was only part of it. The night before my birthday I was on the phone for a long time. While I was on the phone I was holding it crooked on my shoulder. This is something I shouldn't do ( Read more... )

Been hella busy, kids. November is National Novel Writing Month, and despite misgivings prior to and during said month, plus general confusion about a project, I finally settled in on something and cruised home to my goal of 50K words in 30 days yesterday by punching the clock at 51,252 words around 4:30pm yesterday.

I spent a large part of my afternoon messing around with/goofing off with/working on guitar. It was the first time since maybe two weeks prior to Christmas that I got to sit ( Read more... )

For a while there was really nothing to report, then, of course, things got really busy and I had some pics and whatnot, but not the time and energy never lined up for me to get them posted. Saturday night I finally had a few moments and got the necessities taken care of, and now I present to you the results:

My friend bellaxmuerta tagged me to list seven random things about me. I don't really have seven other people to pass this on to, but I can at least do my half of it and pull some oddities out of a hat ( Read more... )
