I'm going to vote this morning (early voting, in both senses of the term), but first I'm signing up for NaNoWriMo. I pulled some oracle cards on this to help me narrow down what would be the best project for me to work on, and here's what I came up with:

Blogging the Debate
So, starting a little late, but here's my thoughts on the debate, as they happen (uh, both my thoughts and the debate).
Warning: I will try to counter it, but I am heavily Obama-biased, especially after reading _The Audacity of Hope_.

Scientists rock my world...
This is great on so many levels. I need to see if I can download it on iTunes. I've been reading a bit about the LHC this morning, since the world still seems to exist from my perspective (not that I was terribly worried). I think it says a lot about my general understanding of advanced theoretical physics that this was the most educational tool ( Read more... ) -
Look out, it's contagious...
So, I get complimented on my laugh. Like, a lot. What prompted me to write this post is that I was thinking about this yesterday evening, and then this morning when I was getting in to work, I got complimented on my laugh again by a complete stranger ( Read more... ) -
Forward, not backward; upward, not downward; and always spinning... spinning... spinning...
So, I was waiting to post anything til it was all signed sealed and delivered, but I have some awesome news. I just got hired as an assistant acquisitions editor for an academic press in Washington DC! I'll be acquiring for their anthropology list, about 30-40 titles a year to start. I'm moving to DC at the end of the month, and I start on ( Read more... ) -
Sarah Who?
Like many people, I've been wondering who the heck this Sarah Palin woman is. It seems obvious from first glance that she's been picked to snabble up some special interest votes -- like woman (cue rabid screaching about women being a "special interest" category here). I... can't even begin to go into how wrong this whole mentality is. It pushes ( Read more... ) -
Quandaries
So, I just broke novel length (60,000 words) on a piece that was never intended to be a novel. The piece as it was envisioned is done, but it's not novel-shaped. Now I'm left with quandary of whether I spend some time on it turning it into something novel-shaped, or whether I put it aside and let it be what it is ( Read more... ) -
Free Stuff!
From the "You get what you pay for" Department, I have an old iPod that I'm looking to give away ( Read more... ) -

So, I've been anticipating this for a little while. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog is a project by Joss Whedon, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day. It will only be online for a brief time, then they're taking it down (although they'll be releasing it on DVD later, according to the master plan). The basic premise is ( Read more... ) -

I tend to avoid the classics, so I'm not surprised that I didn't do all that well outside of genre books and childrens books. On the other hand, I'm well above 6 ( Read more... )
