Today rocked!

I had off today because of having to work Saturday. I got up at my normal work time in order to make it to the dentist to get a couple fillings done. And this time the dentist working on me was awesome when I told him the nerve on the left side of my lower jaw is out of whack - before injecting the anesthesia, he felt my gum, then injected the two shots. And after waiting the normal time and getting what I'm guessing is the correct response, he said, "Good. And I'm going to put in an extra shot, just to make sure." And I was pain free the whole time. (This is compared to about seven shots last time and still having some pain.)

I also went to the bank and put my jar of change through the coin-sorter and got about $75.

And I kicked Nano ass today and did *a lot* of writing. The Nano site, when I plugged in my updated word count said that I'd written 10,000 words. I think it's not quite that, but it's pretty damn close. Either way:

31700 / 50000 words. 63% done!

And I think everyone should watch A Single Man. It's fantastic and amazing! (Okay, and a bit of a tear-jerker, but still awesome!)

5000 words today and I'm now up-to-date with my Nano!

11700 / 50000 words. 23% done!

I really need to stop writing 5000 words once every three days and do something smaller on a more consistent basis. But so far it's coming along well. I have a feeling this thing's going to need editing like whoa, but I like the way it's shaping up.

And I've been good and not played any solitaire while working on it. Yet. Granted, I've been messing around with organizing my music library instead. But since that's done, I need to find another way to procrastinate. I'm pretty sure my bookmarks folder hasn't been organized in quite some time. :-P

For a variety of reasons, I'm beginning to think my NaNo fic is meant to stay within my brain forever. *sigh* Not that that's necessarily a bad thing (pretty boys), but it's still frustrating.

YAY! CON-con tickets go on sale tomorrow evening!

(I'm taking bets on how quickly we crash the servers.)

I seriously think Leverage took all of my SGA squee.

******

That being said, SGU is slowly growing on me and I've fallen for Col. Young. And I just might ship Young/Eli. (Damn you, eternalmusings!)

I finished season two of QAF today so I could send the discs back. There are parts of it that I enjoy and parts that are rather 'meh' and I fastforward through.

And because I finished season 2, my writing output has been less than desirable, though I'm going to try to salvage at least some of it before I go to bed. Otherwise, it's coming along fairly well. :-)

Also, I went to the write-in today and got nothing written because I was too busy chatting and showing one of the other girls the beginning of the Halloween episode of "Castle".

I'm done NaNo!

Final status (according to my Word word counter):

50080 / 50000 words. 100% done!

Don't ask me about the discrepancy. Either way, I'm done and the fic is done!

I shall now take the rest of the day off and start my next story tomorrow. :-P

Here's hoping the rest of the month goes just as easily. :-P

I was watching some of wolfling's Angel vids while doing laundry and feeling really nostalgic.

I have jury duty tomorrow. Apparently, third time getting called is the charm. I just hope that I don't actually get picked to serve on a jury a) because I have Creation Con on Friday and I'd much rather do that than Jury duty and b) I've been trying to do this since frickin' *February* - I just want to get it over with!

So there was no playing of Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre" tonight while the trick-or-treating was going on. We didn't even have as many kids as we normally do, so we have some candy left over (which is both good and bad). But the kids who did come by were adorable. And there was even one who, after taking her candy said, "And now back to your regularly scheduled program." (I was watching tv while waiting for the trick-or-treaters to show up. It was that or reading and the tv had the advantages of being where I could keep an eye on the door at the same time and there was a Ghost Hunters epidose on SciFi.)

I did see a few college kids dressed up today, but that was mostly on my way home after work - which was after 6. One was dressed as a beer keg. *shakes head in shame*

I can't believe I've posted every day this month. Granted a good portion of it is just stream-of-conscious reactions to whatever tv show I'm watching.

I responded to a post on one of my lists from someone who was selling their zines. That's not so weird. The weird part is that she lives in the next town over. Go figure.

Tomorrow I'm going to a NaNo kick-off. Here's hoping it'll be fun.

I can't wait for this weekend! I'm taking a half day on Friday so I can get up there and enjoy the afternoon's programming too. Eeee! (Apparently, I still have a few of those in my system.)
