Lookit there! A Pillow! *runs*
This will be short.
It was not a bad day. I slept a lot because let's face it - Mountain Dew crashes are nasty.
I got to hang out with lisandrayajuujo on the phone and that was pretty pimp because I haven't heard her voice since dirt. I think I get unlimited long distance for one price but I should check Verizon when I go to pay my bill tomorrow just to make sure. Kinda reminds me of when I was a teenager and Ma would be on the phone to her best friend Laura and I'd be expecting a call from some guy and I swear she'd never get off the phone from jawjacking.
Now I kinda understand why.
Today's writing for NaNo went to hell. I have all the plotpoints, but they don't seem dramatic and I don't know how to make this interesting. Interesting things happen, but it just sounds like my characters are just existing and not living. I have to find a way to make them live else I'm fux0rz.
Donald Rumsfeld out, Robert Gates in. Just to boil it down for y'all the way I see it - you're trading Rummy, who was perfectly happy to stomp all over people's civil liberties for a former CIA head, who may very well be looking to help out the CIA should any more of our individual freedoms need to be exorcised.
Granted, I may be a little too conspiracy minded, but considering the pictures of what's to come that I'm seeing...maybe Ben wasn't half the conspiracy theorist minded wingnut that I thought he was.
It's 1A, my writing sucked today, and I need sleep. At least tomorrow I'll have beer. Ta, possums.
Oh, and the Democrats control the Senate, the Republicans have whined about it, now would everyone please get back to work? Democrats, throw money at it. Republicans, play the God / National Security card.
And it'll be business as usual for those of us just trying to live.
PS: I really am happy. But I'm just a touch jaded. And sleepy. Mostly sleepy. Ta, possums.
