Five things...

Stuff!

1. We finally had our, "we finished a novel!" party last night. Myself, csinman, kehrli, mcjulie and spencimusprime all have workable drafts. There were clams and cupcakes, lots of sparkling fruit beverages and fun. Much time was spent making two-year-old Adia repeat combinations of the words, "fox" and "shirt." San, Julie and I all read zombie scenes from our various novels.

2. I put an incredibly shiny pink flamingo theme on Firefox! Flamingo pink, I discover, is a nice shade, more melon than artificial cotton candy pink.

3. I did a count and discovered I've maintained my goal of writing an average of five hundred words a day this month. Yesterday and today, I've written 2,000 words of Alsabeta interacting with her kids. I'm in love with it, but I've also no idea how mothers and kids interact. Fortunately, I have readers with kids.

4. I really can't get streaming video to work smoothly on my computer, and it sucks because I've discovered that mending my shirts while watching Hulu is fun. If I could get Hulu to work, I might finally get off my lazy ass and watch an episode of Buffy.

5. I found a book of Catullus in the free book box. He's articulate, and full of insults and obscenities!
