We got some pretty wet and nasty weather this afternoon, so I sat inside the bus/train station for twenty minutes or so while waiting for the bus to take me back to Laurel so I could close at the bookstore. It just so happened that the 178 to Boston arrived while I was there, and when the "all aboard" announcement sounded on the loudspeaker I half-stood and reached for my bag -- the 178 was always the train I took to New Haven when returning to Yale, you see.

Slightly behind schedule, but eh. Can't close the gap tonight (bookstore 'till 11:30 PM, sigh), but maybe I'll make more progress tomorrow. We'll see.

Why did I ever sign on to do this?!?!?!?

And now, what you've all been waiting for -- that excerpt from my NaNoWriMo project! I came really close to just calling it quits on this this weekend. I mean, it sounds kinda silly -- why bother writing something one knows is crap, just so one can say, "HeY, I wRoTe A fItTy-gEe WoRd NoVeL iN oNe MoNtH, yO!!!!" STUPID! Especially when I could be sitting down, actually taking my time, and trying to write something good. I've also noticed that it's much more difficult for me to write here (that is, in my room), as opposed to at work. This is like my master workshop, so it's really difficult for me (I guess) to write crap while at my esteemed machine. But at work I'm just passing time (and am usually suffering from quite the lack of sleep), so it's hardly as frustrating and dissapointing an endeavor. Sigh. (more...)

Okay, so it's time for my answers to Val's three questions. It's just like the Friday Five, except minus two! Here goes... (more...)
