I finished The Gathering Storm this weekend. It was absolutely fantastic. I was drawn completely in, down to gasping and whimpering as events unfolded. It was a major rush, and I can’t wait for the last two (for reals, yo) books to come out. Pure bliss. Major kudos to Brandon Sanderson – he pulled it off beautifully. In other news, I tried to electrocute myself last Wednesday. Took out half a wall and 3 computers in the lab at school – talk about embarrassing. So, I was going to work on my project write up, using Pages, which means using…

It’s the last day of November! So, naturally, I think I should wrap it up with a meme. ;) This photo meme is kinda cool – I swiped it from awdrey_gore. 01. Answer each of the questions below the cut using the [Flickr] search engine. 02. Choose a photo from the first three pages. 03. Copy the URL of your favorite photos [here]. 04. Then share with the world.

You know, I don’t think I’ll try to force myself to post every day again. Maybe it’s that I feel obligated to post, which makes me rebel. Or maybe I just don’t have a life. :D I’m ok with that, really. I happen to like my well upholstered rut. Anyway. One more duty post after this one, and then it’s back to random sporadic posting. Maybe I’ll manage to post once a week! Almost into the homestretch for this semester at school. One more test in Government, and I’ve got a paper in American Lit due, and that’s it. Next…

I woke up (to pee, natch) before the alarm went off, and now I’m actually awake! What’s up with that? So that American Lit test I thought I blew? Got a 98. Seriously, what is wrong with me?? I still feel like my answers weren’t worth full points – I’m under the theory that the prof was scoring my test late, he wanted to get to bed, and was all “screw it, good enough.” Or something. Wow. Mornings. The sky just a few minutes ago was this gorgeous light purple. Normally, I’m against sunrises – the only way they should…

I’ve discovered that I don’t like the pressure of feeling like I have to post every day. I’m going to tough it out though, because I still feel bad about miserably failing the Project 365 photo challenge. At least it’s only one month. Can’t promise any earth-shattering or deeply moving posts though. So, today. School. Government is fun, we’re on the Bill of Rights. Talking about the first and fourth, and the class is an uproar. In American Lit we’ve gone from Thoreau and Whitman to the Declaration of Independence, Abigail and John Adam’s letters, and Frederick Douglass – the…

So. It’s Day 5 of NaBloPoMo and already I’m at a loss for something to post. I’m gonna blame it on having class today and not getting home until late afternoon, and on being up way too late last night. :D You know, lots of times I think “hey, I should post about that” but then I never remember to actually do it. I ought to make notes or something. It’s not like I don’t have nifty gadgets to do it with. ==== Rob’s birthday was today, so he wanted Thai. He’s also off the rest of the week, so…

Since the one year I tried NaNoWriMo I managed to write myself into a corner in less than 100 words, I’ve decided to instead sign up for NaBloPoMo! I did manage posting every day for one month a couple of years ago, so I should be able to do it again. Visit NaBloPoMo Anyway, Halloween was nice. Apparently the neighborhood does manage to observe the “no lights, no candy” custom, so no one knocked on the door. This left us free to watch the movies that y’all chose for us! :D First up was Plan 9 from Outer Space. It…
