What the well dressed NAACP member is reading in 1918 while waiting for the Sunset Limited to leave San Francisco for New Orleans

It's hard to describe how fun the internets have become. How fun is it that I can find an edition of the NAACP's magazine The Crisis for my character to be reading on the train in 1918?

Terrible for procrastination, but wonderful for research.

Yah, people tell me I have a big ego, but really my ego is tiny compared to my Enormous Talented Genius!

Gave my website a little update-ey. I re-watched the videos on my "what I'm laughing at" page -- it's nice to have a little cache of one's favourite comedy, to help fill up one's Good Moodness when needed.

I also updated "what I'm listening to" -- every month or two I go to my lastfm page, which tracks everything I play on my iTunes, check out what I've listened to the most, and pick out a few of my faves.

My day in procrastination

I wrote a few nano words today. Then as usual got swept away into research (the Sunset Limited line between San Francisco and New Orleans in 1918, Pullman cars, segregation on the train lines) and then we watched a movie, and then I talked to one of my besty-friends, and then I did the dishes and made peanut butter cookies, and then I blogged and emailed with another besty, and my mumsy.

I just finished the last two blog entries for November, for A Great Attraction. I'll need to post a couple for the first days of December, since I usually nano pretty close to the deadline and then crash. But those can wait.

And might I add, I have a wonderful, loving and supportive family, and gang of friends. I loves them all -- mouah! mouah!

We rewatched Revenge of the Nerds last night

Here's one of my favourite lines. Posted for at least my amusement, if not yours.

Some sickness, no nan

I've now had this cold since October 26th. Not much, but a bit of nose blowing, and the sore throat still comes and goes. So I've decided it must have been an infection, rather than a simple head cold. When Fernando went to the doctor, with what seemed to be the same affliction, he was given antibiotics. That would also explain why I felt so physically drained.

I still haven't started Nanowrimoing. I've got to read a page or two of Rennison and Wodehouse, to get inspired about first person and diary writing. It's not something I normally do!

After watching that Cactus movie, I then watched Revenge of the Nerds, and then Blue Streak. Nerds is always enjoyable, and Blue Streak was surprisingly good (about a robber pretending to be a cop).

Minion alarmed, yet intrigued, that I'm singing to her
