We just got back from a quick jaunt over to the island to see Wil’s daughter and some of his friends. You know, you reach a certain point in your life where you have to shell out BIG BUCKS to stay anywhere that rivals the comfort of your own home. We did not. It costs [...]

It had to happen eventually.
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 13th, 2007
It was inevitable. Someday I was bound to leave the window down, after inputting car wash code at the kiosk, when I drove into the hands-free car wash. Today was that day.

Trouble with a capital “T” which rhymes with “B” which stands for Blog
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 9th, 2007
I had a dream with Henry Rollins in it the other night. In it, I had gone back to school. Or something schoolish, as it was actually made up of ex-coworkers from my previous P.O.E. Ex-bosses were teachers. Anyway, Henry came on a School Visit. He was treated as a Special Guest, but was going [...]
Why is writing so hard for me now?
Posted in nanowrimo on Nov 9th, 2007
I’ve put a lot of thought into this. Because in addition to having trouble writing, I’m having a lot of trouble sleeping. I am having zero trouble thinking, however. That’s all I do. Anyway, lot of thought and what I’ve come up with is this: as a writer, I have become flabby. As little as [...]
In answer to your questions: Smarties vs. Smarties
Posted in Canada on Nov 8th, 2007
In the United States, this is what we call “Smarties.” In Canada, they call them “Rockets.” This is what they call “Smarties.” They are like M n’ M’s only, in my opinion, more sugary tasting. Don’t try to get an m n’ m blizzard at DQ in Canada, they don’t have them. They have Smartie [...]
I’m 66% Dixie

Which is weird. I imagine it’s because I use “ya’ll.” Yankee or Dixie quiz.

I just remembered…
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 6th, 2007
I have a box of Smarties in my bag. Which I will open now, and separate into individual piles based on color and starting with the pile with the least number of smarties, and ending with the pile with the most, EAT THEM!!! You want to know, don’t you? Ok. 1. blue 2. purple 3. [...]
I’ve received compliments on the title of my story, so I think I should explain. It’s not mine. It’s a title of a Shivaree song which, along with “Goodnight Moon”, helped inspire this need in me to write a mystery. My character’s name is, therefore, Fiona Black and what happens is her own little mess [...]
Nano Day 6
Posted in movies and tv, nanowrimo on Nov 6th, 2007
Since we have channels that broadcast in the EST on our cable, I have already watched Bones and House and it’s not even 9pm. (I only like shows that are one word nouns. And have SCIENCE in them. Science is cool.) So my feuvision dvd is on, and so is my nanocam. Maybe you can [...]
