Apparently half of Cork had the same idea I did this morning and got up and went shopping between 9 and 11. I cannot imagine the horror that must be starting to swell the streets now. God, I hate shopping. Next year I’m making kitsnaps calendars and giving them to everybody. *squinchy face* Ted works early tomorrow, so I think I’m going to get up when he does and go up on an early train to Dublin to deliver Christmas presents and marshmallow creme to the fambly, and come back…

spam spam spam spam spammity spam!
I had been admiring, the last few days, how very few spam messages I’d been getting. I thought maybe somebody’d been arrested or something, one of the major spam kings. I’d been going to comment on it, and then I thought no, nevermind, I wouldn’t do that, because it seemed like every time I did it in the past, I suddenly got a huge flood of spam.

I am reasonably certain, at this point, that I deleted what work I had done on issue #5 of Chance because it was stored on a memory stick and I blithely assumed I’d saved it to a hard disk somewhere or other. The truth is that on probably almost every level it’s just as well, because if the single page I do still have is accurate, it started the story somewhere I probably shouldn’t have. That has not stopped me from spending the better part of 90 minutes trying to…

I noticed a couple days ago that my yearly wordcount goal was a mere 300K. I’d thought it was 350K and that I had no chance of getting to it. But, well, hell, I’m at 264K right now, and there are 14 days (including today) left in the year. Pffffsssshht. I can do that. My walking goal is 600 miles. I’ve done 566. Pffffsssshht. I can do that. My reading goal was 78 books (1.5 a week, because it has become depressingly clear to me that I am not reading…
