Tuesday, November 5, 2002. Entry #193

I'm very tired today.

It's been a busy few days, and it's looking like it's not going to get any better.

Despite being swamped at work, I've managed to keep up with the writing and I'm up over 8,000 words already. There's a new little counter on the home page, so you can see exactly how far I still have to go. The little red dot is where I should be for the day.

Tonight is my first meeting with the other Calgarian NaNoWriMo writers. A few of them have got together before, but it sounds like there will be a dozen of us all in one place. It may be fun. It may be really, really weird. I'll let you know.

Joel and Connie are both planning on attending, so I'll have someone I know at least.

Oh, if you ever decide to try out my Chicken Nachos recipe, be very careful how hot you make it. Lisa and I ate a batch last night and are now suffering from severge jaloproctitis (otherwise known as 'perianal discomforture').

I'm just saying.

Two Years Ago Plus A Day Today: X-Terminator, where I enunciated my discomforture with Robert Patrick's appearance on the X-Files.

Aaaand in 1935: Parker Brothers launched the game of Monopoly.

Mom Rating: 1.5 out of 5. Mom is more worried that this book is all I'm going to write about this month. And I should take better care of my... digestive system.

Take me home, big fella
