2234.5678901: 50,261FINALLY!!!1
with only 1h20m to goAGH STUPID WPG [worm-playing game]!!! T_T
Final Nano official weigh-in at 50,078 (for some reason) reads rather of crap as it stands... not because I've written solid crap--because it's IMO good, albeit maudlin--but because what I written ended up being so piecemeal compared to B2S1 that everything after the part I'd written before [but rewrote for Nano] is not in any discernable order. Also, the major moral of the story [and the word "frowned"] keeps ending up being reiterated several times in the book, as though my protagonist is a stupid git with no common sense [a la Dan Brown character], or for some reason I ended up droning on at length about... oh... buying a pay-as-you-go phone \:' Hey, it's tough organizing huge chunks of short stories in a single document file, basically, not to mention making it an actual story instead of short strings of morals.
Speaking of short stories, Unexpected Magic is very nearly my most favourite book as of this moment, I feel compelled to mention. Mostly, it's a collection of shorts, each unrelated to the others, and it's great for the attention span that's allotted to me at lunch break. My previous favourite along these lines was Shen of the Sea--which is a little more timeless, but I'm older now and allowed to like things with some edge to them ;p I'm definitely going to have to compile a book of my own of those at some point, if I'm ever free and clear-minded enough to do it. The usual "too many projects" keeps coming up, though.
Crap, I still don't have a folder for Hikaru douga. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow! XB
Speaking of crap, the Wikipedia entry for the entire list of experiments from Lilo & Stitch looks absolutely horrible now, since virtually all of the identifying images have been marked for removal by some well-meaning but otherwise STOOPIT editor peoples, because the image contributors didn't write an entire essay stating "We use this image because there's no other meaningful way to discuss the 626+ experiments in the series otherwise, as per fair use, why don't you try making a descriptively worthwhile list without any images." X/ I'm going to have to add that to the cut-and-paste description for my uploads, now |:'
