--read Absalom! Absalom!

--edit short stories
--edit poetry
--pick poetry and short stories to submit for prizes
--plan November's novel

--study abroad statement of purpose
--fill out annoying application-y things
--read Malia's story
--read Michele's story
Not die. Overall, not dying is always a good thing.
I'm still really enjoying life. Rebecca and I had a kick-off party for NaNoWriMo on Saturday and it kicked ass! People, like, actually showed up. And enjoyed themselves. OMG! :) It was nice getting praised today in the office for how well that went. It's good to be appreciated.
Also I'm looking for a hat to complete my Ingrid Bergman (Ilsa in Casablanca) costume that spontaneously appeared in my life in the form of a $16 vintage coat that is totally Casablanca. It makes me think of Mr. Vargish and therefore my life is improved.
Now I'm just trying not to do things. So I'm going to go do things instead. Hopefully I'll have the chance to post one more my-life-is-going-to-hell-and-you-should-join-me-there entry before November begins, but if not...may the insanity ensue!
