National Novel Writing Month Done

 

Phew.
Ninja’s and plot bunnies bite my ass.
Caffeine and a great wife is all I needed.

Humor (from a guest writer)

I’ve been on hiatus from writing in my blog, but I’ll never miss the chance to conscript invite a friend to be a guest writer. This comes from my good friend M.J. who loves to celebrate Thanksgiving even more than I do, I believe.

Antisocial networking

Enough, I’ve had enough. I just deleted my old Friendster and Tribe.net accounts. I deleted a bunch of “friends” who I’ve never met in my Myspace life.

Short term memory loss can be humorous

Fell off my bike and landed my face last night. Managed to smack a curb (so I’m told) with a majority of unprotected face. How I didn’t slide around I don’t know, and I suffered only minimal road rash. The impact severely jarred my short-term memory and led me to saying the same things over [...]
