I need a good chocolate cake recipe. And I need it by midday tomorrow ( Read more... )

First real snow came through Monday night...very unusually late, for Colorado. Anyway, I was out wandering in it for about an hour 'cause I was locked out of my destination. My hair froze to the top of my head. Yeesh.
In other news...next week is Fall Break. So I don't have school Mon/Wed. So I might actually be able to DO something. But in all ( Read more... )

For some reason, I have this urge to get myself questionable content gifts for Christmas...^_^

It's official. My shift on the 25th is 4:30am-10pm. 1 hour lunch at 10am. >.< I'm getting 4.5 hours of OT in a 35 hour week. Huh. Go figure.

I have come to the conclusion that unless I write 25,000 words on the two days of my fall break and another 10,000 on my one day off this Friday (around my concert and Harry Potter), there is no physical possibility of my finishing NaNoWriMo this year. On the bright side, I did manage about 10,000 words. Which's 4 times what I did last year, since ( Read more... )

People still need to tell me what they want for Christmas.

And J? Could you try to wheedle that gift-type information out of my sisters?

Did I mention that I am quite behind? Current count:

Intro: 534 Words
Chapter 1: 2,050 Words
Chapter 2: 2,884 Words
Chapter 3: 1,927 Words
Chapter 4: 1,954 Words

Total: 9,349 of 50,000. That puts me at 7,321 words behind. Mehhhh. I have another 10-hour shift today, though, so if Todd leaves me alone I'll have another 2k-3k to help things out.

And in ( Read more... )

For those of you who wanted to see me in my suit that I wore to give my presentation yesterday.

I am way, way behind for NaNoWriMo:
Intro: 534 Words
Chapter 1: 2,050 Words
Chapter 2: 2,884 Words
Chapter 3: 1,927 Words
Total: 7,395. I should have 13, 336. Meh. So I have 6,000 words to write in a 10 hour shift that I anticipate being boring enough to ( Read more... )

Test went decently well. Speech went well (although I was way more nervous than normal, shaking even...not enough food in my system), though I got cut off for time about a paragraph from my conclusion. My own fault. I added a spare point. ;p ( Read more... )

NaNoWriMo stuff:

Intro: 534 Words
Chapter 1: 2,050 Words
Chapter 2: 2,884 Words
Chapter 3: (Not yet typed up, but about 1,100 words)

So, total progress accounted for: 
5,468 of 50,000 (I don't count the words til I type them because I tend to edit as I type). So, especially if I type those up tonight, I am slightly ahead of schedule. Despite my school- ( Read more... )
