Twas the night before NaNoWriMo
And all through the World
Writers were thickly anxious
To scribe their first word
Horrible rhyme, I know. Anyways, I'm not really frightened. Seriously, although part of me is afraid that at the end of it I might feel like Mr. Furley looks. I have so many ideas that have been churning in my head it will be fun to just let them loose on the page. No outline, no notes, no guru, no teacher. I have some names though. Expect to see one or more of these characters in the book:
- Mitzi Babbitt
- Wrisley Magurgle
- Fender Trook
- Thal Fuws
- Ora Lee (that's a real name actually)
- Cecil Barnes, Jr.
And concerts by The Murders, Camera And Sound, Saigon Cinnamon, The Fat Snaps, and Jean Juke.
How much fun is it to come up with names? Too much fun, let me tell you.
This has been going around a little. If you haven't seen it yet, be prepared to have that monologue stuck in your head for a while. I'm pretty sure this guy was not being serious at the time. Stanley Kubrick held open video auditions for extras and roles in Full Metal Jacket and this is one of the tapes, supposedly. If he was serious, than self-delusion surely knows no bounds.
Stay gold, Ponyboy.
Obviously expect him to become his own player and never fall back into the chain of command with Adama. At least not anytime soon. He's too transformed from his time on New Caprica, compared with Adama, who has lived in comfortable stasis on the Galactica.
So Say We All
What food or drink do you love when it's cold out? (Recipes and recommendations, please!)
It's not so much a warm food or drink, but I crave fattier and greasier food when it's cold out. I think it's the walrus in me or something. My pizza consumption defintely rises. Which is sumthin' cuz I'm a lactard (lactose intolerant).

Do this, send your name through search engine of your choice. Put it in " - " like "Wrisley Magargal" so it only searches on your name. Then see if you can find a result in some sort of employee list that has your name and post it here if y'd like or on your own vox. You don't have to tell me your name. i.e. when I Google my name, I find out that I am also a rabbi in Boston. I also have a bit of a singular although not unusual name so there isn't a whole list of results to list.
I also have a doppelganger living in Jamaica, Queens, New York.
Sasha, my best friend in the mundo, taught me how to chew tobacco, drink good tequila, and listen to Tom Zé.
I can at least teach you how to listen to Tom Zé.
I wrote 23 pages yesterday. I can't wait for NaNoWriMo.
Show us something that makes you nostalgic.
