Mon - March 16, 2009[taps twice] Er... is this thing on?I'm back. I think.
I still have NaNoWriMo as a to-do in the Infinite To-Do list. My spirits dropped right along with my retirement accounts in November and are just beginning to perk up. Still working at Major HMO. Still "temp" after two years. Have moved up to data analyst from secretaryhood -- a major improvement. And after today's "staff reduction" announcement (which did not, thankfully, include me) a direct position, after all, may be no shield even there. If I could retire, I would. I will be gradually moving this blog somewhere else. I'm not sure where; but iBlog is getting creaky. I will let y'all know.

stopped.
It gained on me. Flu sucks. Good night. Posted at 11:38 PM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Thu - November 13, 2008The Lesson of the NaNoWriMoDon't
stop.
Don't ever stop. If you stop, it gains on you. Never, ever, ever stop. Genius doesn't matter. Perfection is an illusion. All that matters is the doing. Goal reached before bed: 12334 words. Goal before the next bedtime: 14427 words. Posted at 01:41 AM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Wed - November 12, 2008Saving all my words for NaNoWriMo...But I added a link
to the chart widget that explains what the heck it means...
Posted at 10:43 PM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Sat - November 1, 2008It's BAAAACCCCKK....Yes, NaNoWrimo is here again. 50,000 words or
bust....
[if nothing else, it's made me change the images in the sidebar ---> Posted at 09:29 PM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Sat - October 25, 2008Food for ThoughtThe following article by Paul B. Farrell describes
well a conclusion I'd arrived at
independently:
Wall Street's 'Disaster Capitalism for Dummies'It's hard to get cranked about election results, although I will vote -- for every office on my ballot which sports a candidate who is neither Democrat nor Republican. Anything but what we've got. And yeah, I AM going to write in Mickey Mouse for any office in which I don't have a REAL choice. Anything but what we got, folks. Anything. It's time to trash the "two-party system" -- there's nothing sacred about it and other republics seem to get along just fine with twenty parties and plenty of REAL debate. [On the lighter side, I'll be twittering from Santa Barbara today. Ta-ta!] Posted at 06:18 AM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Tue - October 7, 2008Grrrrr.Stupid
bronchitis.
Stupid coughing. Stupid relapse. Posted at 10:17 PM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Mon - October 6, 2008Breathing Again...at least at
75%.
How about that bailout, folks? Really perked up the ol' market, huh? My congressman (Howard Berman) voted for it. Twice. And yes, I did contact his office. I believe many of my fellow NoHo residents did as well. No dice. To add insult to injury, he's running for re-election unopposed. Hey, North Hollywood! How about we all agree to write in Mickey Mouse on our ballots? At least we'd KNOW he was a cartoon... Posted at 10:26 PM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Fri - October 3, 2008Dead Blogger DayHorrible head cold. Outrage over bailout will have
to wait.
Back when I can breathe. Posted at 09:21 PM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Thu - October 2, 2008Bailout Alternatives... Not ConsideredThis Glen Greenwald
article:
Wash Post's Pearlstein: Anyone opposing the bailout is ignorant has a lot of alternative views on the bailout -- that have not been considered. Via Elsie, who keeps me involved. Posted at 07:19 AM Permalink | | Spoilers (if any) | | Wed - October 1, 2008Note to self: Am not 16 any more...Went to Neil Diamond concert at Hollywood Bowl with
Hubby. It was nostalgic, energetic, musically interesting, and I boogied like
1969.
Am dehydrated; further, knees and shoulder are busy informing me just how foolish it was to boogie like 1969. I will be heading for bed with a double dose of naproxen and ice packs... but still... It was worth it.

day.
First, the USA Congress (House of Representatives, to be more precise) develops a backbone. Then the stock market goes nuts, sulking like a massive crybaby.
