I forget...

I remembered that I wanted to do some shameless promotion, but I forgot what it was I wanted to promote. I get that way nowadays. Yeesh, you'd think I was fifty.

But anyways, since I'm here again... check out INDIEGOAT.

Em. Oh yea, I also wanted to ask... who wants to go Jazz Fest with me?

Dec 6 - 7 (Sat and Sun night) from 6.30pm to 11pm, and as my bro says "You have to go, Steve Hackett is playing!" (not that I have a clue who Steve Hackett is...) But yes. It's RM53 per night I think. Not sure if they have a double night discount.

I think I will make it count as my TGIO party, even if I celebrate it alone.

Productive.

Am staying on top of the wordcount. Yay.

Bought 3/4 of the Christmas presents allocated.

Changed my watch battery.

Got my car washed.

Mmm.

I realise I have been neglecting this page.

Haha.

Sorry, you'll just have to brazen it out until the end of November, or pray that I finish very, very early. At the moment, I'm on a roll and reaching 33 THOUSAND words... but with 17 thousand more. Sigh!

Well... have fun.

Oh, and my car's fixed =)

And Nov 16th's over.

*sigh of relief*

So this guy decided to take a nap while driving and I end up with a Robocar. Actually, my dad's been driving the Robocar. I've been using Old Faithful and remembering again how small and light and heavy it is. Conflicting? No power steering. Turning the wheels are such a pain. And I really don't remember how rickety it sounds when you go fast. Maybe I am too used to my newish car.

Preliminary view of damage:

And then after the trip to the mechanic's, Robocar appeared!

They had to pull of the bumper, but couldn't replace it as the spares hadn't arrived and my dad couldn't leave the car there because he needed it to get around.

Oh well.

Sigh.

Today I let my inner editor out of his cage after 10 days of starvation. He was weak, but served me well. My muse however was not amused and seems to be on a bit of a hiatus. I only need approximately 1,000 words to meet today's target so I'm going to try to crack the whip. Criminal minds starts in 15 minutes, though. Sigh. Priorities!

So I think this Adrian guy is from SIB and if Facebook is any indication, he's linked to Lindy. Small world! I was wondering why I felt as if I've seen him before. Unless my face recognition software is on the blink again...

And yet... I don't know. I am ambivalent and (I keep thinking) ambiguous. Though I am not sure how I can be ambiguous. It's just that the word keeps popping up in my brain. Hm. Muse trying to say something?

And the babi is on the fritz again and I hate him for it because I am left trying to placate angry people. Why can't he just answer the stupid phone?

There are too many 'ands' but I have to add... my tummy's turned bad again. Sigh!

what I did today

Today I:

• fought a cramp. Panadol to the rescue!
• lost to blurness. Lukewarm tea sucks especially when it's your fault for pulling the black "room temperature" knob instead of the red "boiling hot" one.
• received an e-mail from Philip Pullman. Only because he pep-talked for NaNoWriMo: "This is a strange thing, but I've noticed it many times: a bad day's work is a lot better than no day's work at all...And when you do visit them in a month's time, or whenever it is, you often find that they're not so bad after all." [uhuh]
• semi-cleared my desk, if shifting papers from one drawer to another is clearing it. But hey, at least I threw out some old junk!
• tried to rearrange my certs. Do you start from newest - oldest or oldest - newest?
  
• got irritated at the babi again, and it's really nothing to do with me. Like, I'm really not his mother / babysitter so I don't know and I don't care, alright?
• reached the 11k region of words!
• left the office before 6pm
• wondered what to write next.

The word count has been good so far, and I'm meeting target each day, though I wish I could write faster and more fluently to make up for all the days that I know I will be too tired / busy to write. Sigh. But it's good. So far. And the widgets are being dodgy now by refusing to appear

I'm snacking on chocettes now, which is so NOT GOOD because I finally weighed myself today and have reached... *tadah* can't tell you lah KG. hahahaha. What I can tell you is this. I am now approaching the "overweight" band on BMI. I mean, I know I was borderline normal lah. But now it's officially.... FATTTTT

But then again... am I even going to do anything about it?

Yeah!!! I wish. Hahahahaahaha. Sigh.
