After careful analysis of satellite photos, scientists have determined that the parking spaces closest to the store entrance fill up first. They have also learned that if you just sit in your car in one spot and watch the aisle, eventually someone will leave and you can take their space. You'll also tick off everyone else trying to drive around you ( Read more... ) -

I did fantastic in this year's NaNo. I hit 50,000 words on the 23rd, finished the novel at a little over 60,000 words on the 29th, and wrote an extra 3,000 words for an epilogue tonight. This is the best I've ever done. The novel needs a lot of work, of course, but overall I am very pleased with myself. -

End of the World
The world didn't end. I'm a little disappointed. I'm not a fan of the whole Rapture idea, with the Chosen ascending and the rest of us suffering through Hell on Earth for a few months before finally dying and going to the real Hell for all eternity, but I'd like to see an Apocalypse. I don't want to cause the end the world, but I like the idea that ( Read more... ) -
Dreams
I don't have nightmares. Sometimes I get "uneasy dreams", mainly involving falling asleep while driving, but nothing bad enough to be considered a nightmare ( Read more... ) -

I have decided not to be Gemini. I don't care if the Earth has wobbled all over the place and now the stars are in the wrong spots. Gemini just doesn't fit. I'm willing to let the stars control my destiny, but I reserve the right to choose the stars ( Read more... )
