Muwahahahaha! I have achieved smooze.

If you have never made smooze, get a bowl, put some cornstarch in, and start adding water very slowly.

So it's 10:00, and I'm guessing we're not making the annual Thanksgiving Eve pilgrimage to the town where I grew up.

I am eating a moon pie, listening to my Herbie K's mix, and wishing like hell that I was eight years old and in Cocoa Beach right now. I have no idea why.

I have done nothing today. I thought I got stuff done, and then all of a sudden it was midnight and I really had nothing to show for the day. There's no way I'm getting the first chapter of my ( Read more... )
