Explicit lyrics, SG in the mix
We had a cracking good thunderstorm last night and a nasty fight. It has been a while since J and I got really mad at each other; it is a good thing for couples to argue and vent some steam now & then. Some would say that periodical scuffles are the common element in all successful long-term relationships. More important than the bickering, though, is the making-up afterwards. If you skip that part then you're in trouble.
All of which just to say that I haven't got around to those France wine posts yet, sorry sorry, I'll do 'em soon. Right now the job search takes precedence and then I've got tons of other chores begging my attention. So.
SG staus update: unemployed as of 8 October, '05. Which means I need a new project (besides job-hunting) to keep me busy. Introducing a warm-up activity for November's NaNoWriMo: the October Three Week Writing, Uh, Project (or ThreWWUP)!! I know, believe it or not, that was the least crappy acronym I could come up with. Little help here? Anyway, I'm going for 60,000 words before this month is over. That should put me in the right frame of mind to shatter last year's record for November.

And it does get cold here in L'Etoile du Nord, but I want to try and stick it out. Ideally I need some lightweight cycling clothes and special gear, but I'll see how long I can go with my snowboarding jacket and blue jeans. Builds character!
I don't recommend jeans. They are *cold*. But I commuted last winter in my ski jacket and polartec tights. Wasn't too bad. Ski goggles kicked ass though.
threw up, ha ha. that is kind of what writing 60,000 words that fast is like..... but geez, overachiever. what ever happened to good ol-fashioned things like outlines?!
Outlines just get in the way! Actually last year's novel was extensively outlined before I began. This year it's all in my head.
