Fiddling with MT plugins that may or may not make multi-platform blogging easier.
Or… it will melt down my website.
Briefly… (#1113226032)
Limping through weather-impaired traffic. Once again, Colorado residents blink stupidly at the snow and try to wish it away. Fail.
First Friday, 09
Reading: Just finished World War Z yesterday. Went through the first two books of Keys to the Kingdom, via audiobook, on the road trip back to SoDak over the holidays. The Book of Lies is waiting to hang out with me during my lunch break.
Playing: Some Left4Dead to go along with World War Z. Lord of the Rings Online.
Planning: Some physical stuff ™ for the weekend (gym, backyard-work, biking?) Don’t Rest Your Head this coming Wednesday.
Wearing: Jeans, black not-quite-bowling-shirt, a grey fleece vest, and my Red Wings.
Writing: New Madness Talents for DRYH, new pages/revisions for Hidden Things.
Whew
Been a long while since I’ve posted (on this blog, anyway — I’ve been busy elsewhere on the internets, but not here), lets see about updating a bit.
Bloggish
I’ve revised the code on the site a bit to be a bit more small-browser-window friendly and just generally more readable. I’ve also resurrected average-bear.com as a kind of collective repository of everything I’m posting on all my sites, and updated a bit on Facebook and Flickr.
Writing
I got my 50k words down for NaNoWriMo, but Humorless itself isn’t really done, so I expect I’ll be going back to that in the new year… once I’m done with the latest round of revisions on Hidden Things, which is my next big to do.
Travel
Just got back from the 1800 mile round-trip to South Dakota to visit family. Very good to see everyone and the little girl made out like some kind of mad toy bandit, so it was all win for her. Plus I got to take my girls to Mount Rushmore, finally. I’ve been there many many times, but neither of them had, so that was fun. Slight damper on the joys of the season: ear and throat “thing” that I’ll be dropping by the doc’s this afternoon to pick up medicine for. Ugh… Also, I seem to be carrying five extra pounds of stuffing and pumpkin pie around. Bleh. Time to seriously shop for a replacement for my poor destroyed elliptical.
Recent Reads
Hearts in Atlantis (which I just realized is a terrible terrible pun on the part of the author), one or two of the Witches/Discworld books, and two of the Keys to the Kingdom books by Garth Nix, thanks to the local library’s audiobooks section and a very, very long road trip.
Sing along with the President Elect
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics… they will only grow louder and more dissonant… We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
For Kaylee
Equitable?
So Colin Powell is a “RINO” — a “Republican In Name Only” — according to the mouthpieces of America’s political “Right”, following his endorsement of Barack Obama for President.
Really? Okay, I can accept that. I can even accept that some folks want Powell out of the Grand Ol’ Party. To those folks, I’d like to offer a deal.
We’ll take Powell.
You can have Lieberman. Please. With my blessing.
