Delicious Fallout

Just opened a 100 calorie pack of Cheese Nips and the first thing that popped to mind was: Nuclear Orange. MMmmm.

Glamour Girl


I just Googled my best friend from high school. And laughed. And laughed some more. You see apparently she has the same name as a Fashion T. Girl. What is a Fashion T. Girl, you ask? It is a man with a wig (circa 1987) and some glamour shots. Mm-hmm. In some of the pictures I imagine s/he is trying to look coy, but mostly s/he looks bored or scared like, “God, I hope no one at work finds out about this.”

I won’t tell you the name of the website, but I will show you this photo I hijacked.

If you haven’t Googled former acquaintances yet, you should do it. Go ahead, I’ll wait here.

I was just clicking that button in the top right hand corner of my browser window, the "Next Blog" button. It is surprising how few actual blogs there are. Most of them are advertisements for anything from alternative medicine to bridesmaids' dresses. A few that were actual blogs were blogs about blogging. Oh my god! Now I'm blogging about blogging, too.

Must. Change. Topic.

I have been incredibly slack at this whole writing bidness. Haven't done it in weeks. I so want to get this thing finished, or at least get on a regular writing schedule, but it doesn't seem to be happening. At work I blog or do actual, ya know, work. When I get home I am just running on fumes. If it wasn't so damn hot in my bedroom until after the sun goes down I would probably go to bed at 7 pm every night. Well, maybe not.

I've also been into this whole nerd thing called Neverwinter Nights. Not so much playing it as building a module. I'd like to learn the 3d graphics part of it, but I suck. I told W that even though I wanted to learn I wasn't going to try because I already have too many hobbies. I need to trim down the number some. I collect hobbies like a bellybutton collects lint. (Ew.) I start one thing, get bored or distracted and move on to the next too easily. (Though I like to tell myself that writing is different. It is lingering in the background and I will get back to it.)

And... I think I am getting sick. Sore throat, slight cough, stuffy head and that annoying thing where you think you are going to sneeze so you make that ridiculous face... then nothing happens. AND I tried to locate a dentist who takes my insurance and is near my house, but that was like... trying to think of a similie that doesn't suck... and it didn't happen. The closest one I found was an HOUR and ten minutes away but he's in a huge ghetto city. I am trying to cut down on the number of drive-by shootings I am involved in, so I chose one slightly farther away.

Patting myself on the back

I got so much writing done today! 3100+ words. That makes me so very happy. I will feel much less guilty when I go home and play or knit or read or watch TV. Or sleep. Ahh.

I am adding Holly Lisle to my links bar. Not only is she a great writer, but she is a great inspiration. She has a whole huge section on her website that has been invaluable in getting (and keeping) me motivated.

So, thanks, Holly!

Behold the power of duct tape!

No workers were nearby when the window cover fell off and dropped about 60 feet, the space agency said. It was not immediately clear why the cover -- which was held by tape -- came loose.

$145 billion spent on the space shuttle program so far, and they’re using tape to hold the things together? Guess they were all out of chewing gum.

It's Conowingo, not Cunnilingus!

We took a road trip from Dover, DE to Lancaster, PA to see Bob Dylan in concert on Sunday. Some geographical highlights of the trip include Cooch’s Bridge, Blue Ball Bank and my personal favorite: Spread Eagle Village.

I can't think of good titles either.

I think I might be one of those authors who shouldn't blog. I can never think of anything remotely interesting to write about, but I am compelled to blog.

My consolation is this: 1) I'm not really an author (yet?) and 2) No one reads this anyway. So I can write whatever I want!

Mwahaha. *Cough* Yeah.
