I don’t actually read xkcd regularly, generally only when people point out a particularly great strip, so I totally missed the meetup. I mean, not that I’d have gone anyway, but I missed reading about it, so now, several months after the fact, I am going to show you how the intarwebs make the world a better place. This comic, which is a bit heartbreaking in and of itself, inspired this meetup, which is heartbreaking in a whole different way. Sometimes, humans rock. Yesterday when I said I’d have to…
10K.
There. That’s 10,120 words so far this year. I hate these early stages, really anything before 20K, because 4 digits or that 1 hanging out in front during the teens always seems like such a very tiny number. I even don’t like the rollover to 100 or 200K for the same reason. Zeroes and teens are too leetle to make me happy. :) I had some sort of grandiose plan involving exercise today, and was heartened and inspired by the lovely morning. However, by the time I finished my initial…

We need more entertainment these days that isn’t television and video games (not that these…

going to *bed*, darnit
Took an oblique look at the proposal revisions (you know, with my eyes mostly closed, so I didn’t have to see all those nasty comments*), did dishes, and partway through the dishes came up with the opening line for the revisions. So I got an extra 600 words written tonight, which makes me really happy. I am going to go to bed now, at a far more sensible hour than I have gone the last several nights, and attempt to *sleep*, which beloved state has been escaping me for many…
