TITLE

I don't think I picked the best tangerine of the bunch...

Today is Fringe!

And because I don't know of anything else I can say, here! Have a quote!

"(Fiction is) the unlivable life, the strange room tacked onto the house, the extra moon that is circling the earth unbeknownst to science." -Lorrie Moore

Avatar.

I think it makes me look like something from Spirited Away.


Today my family and I saw Avatar, after an unsuccessful attempt yesterday.
It. Was. Amazing.
Can I just go live on Pandora? Can someone arrange that for me please?
I have, of course, already got the soundtrack, because I am obssessive like that.

In other news, I think I'm getting sick. Woo-hoo. My ears seemed to be blocked or something, and everything sounds really fuzzy, which is actually kind of fun. The headache, of course, is not so much fun.

And finally, I believe it's time to revive the tallies:
Books read: 4
Days missed: 1

Gotta catch 'em all!

Someone on dailybooth had a link to make yourself a Pokemon!

I love Pokemon; I grew up with them. I still have my cards, and occasionally, I'll go through them, and sometimes, I even get new ones. Yes, this is nerdy, but I am a nerd, so there you go. Can I say one thing that upsets me though? The new Pokemon. There used to be only 150, and when the 151 Pokemon was discovered, they made an entire movie about it. Now, there's nearly 500. Can you memorize 500 Pokemon using a rap? I think not.

Gadzooks! OR I can't think of a better title!

Nothing much new to report today, except I haz da Sherlock Holmez CD nao!

And the lack of Fringe disturbed and saddened me.

AND I finished the English paper.

I'm beginning to realize the fatal flaw in this plan: it means I have to figure out something interesting to write everyday. Ho-boy.

A new idea

So yes. I stole this idea from Ms. Malika Dale, who is off gallivanting around France right now.¹

It's a simple concept: a picture a day.
Today's picture was brought to you by Premium Soup & Oyster Crackers.

¹Gah, so jealous.

Oh hey look, I think maybe the blog's gone moldy...

...*pokes*
So...how've you all been? Any New Year's resolutions?
Does anyone else think resolutions are a bit silly? I mean, how many of them do you remember by the end of the year? I never remember mine. And they're always the same too, aren't they? I will exercise, read, practice, study, sleep more. I will procrastinate, pig out, be annoying less.
So this year, I'll make mine easier to remember and keep: my one and only resolution will be to be happy more.
And maybe to clean more too.

Halloween over...

...and it's November y'all. And some will know what this means: NaNoWriMo.
For those that don't, we have a quick sumary:
NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month. Happens in November. Every year. You write a novel. More info/sign up/I'm actually not sure what's going on here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/.
Now, the only reason I know about NaNoWriMo is because I read blogs and stuff of writers, not because I have ever done it, or actually researched it. I mean, why would I research it? It's a pretty easy concept. Of course, that means I actually have no idea what I'm doing, or what I'm talking about. Let's keep that in mind for the next month, shall we?

So, I'm gonna try this sucker. We'll see if it actually gets posted up here; probably not, because, in the words of the Wonderful Maureen Johnson, "...if you are in high school or otherwise just starting out, MUCH OF WHAT YOU WRITE IS GOING TO SUCK. This is because you learn to write while writing. So for a while, you have to embrace the Suckmonster. Hug it close to you. Love your Suckmonster. Because your Suckmonster is going to help you get where you want to go. He is your friend and traveling companion. He is friendly and furry and Muppet-like."
And while I'm all for peer-editing and sharing your feelings and crap, I don't really want people I know actually reading this stuff. Sorry, but no thanks.

And now I must go, for the hamsters of sleep cometh.¹ Goodnight.

¹ I need to stop reading Maureen Johnson blogs right before I post here, because I then start to mimic her...and while she's funny and everything, it makes me feel really artificial.
