PS3 Insanity

Yet more proof that mankind is doomed to self-destruction from their own stupidity. Hundreds of insane people waited in line for the Playstation 3 recently. That is a little crazy but ok, I can see it. However, for the guy who quit his job to wait in line, for the guy who canceled his wedding, for the many many people who fought each other and shot each other for this expensive TOY! All of you must immediately kill yourselves and spare the gene pool, please. There was one shining moment of hope in this dark hour, the wonderful people in this video below;

50,000 words…not likely

Heh, ok, so I finally, in week two, started to write for this thing. Talk about bad timing, first the oral surgery put me out of sorts, then I had to work more hours than normal. Excuses, excuses. But this time I sat down and wrote. Got about 1500 words done, only 48500 to go!!! I’m not read to show the link to the text yet, its still really really rough. As they say though, this month is about quantity,  not quality, and boy is that true : )

50,000

Recently I have come to accept that the only way I will develop my writing, the only way I will feel accomplished, is if I start by writing something everyday. It might not be much, or even relevant to the world, but it feels necessary. And then I see this contest that is going on here, http://www.nanowrimo.org where you have to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Nov. 1st to Nov. 30th. The purpose isn’t to create a work of art, but to simply produce. So, here I have a combination of events; my decision to write more, the month of my birthday, and this “contest”. So yeah, I am thinking about it. I have many ideas, none that I think will feel the gaping wound of 50,000 words. But well see. What about my thesis? Still will work on that, and this kind of output will help me focus I feel. So, its the first day, I think I have my idea. More on this later.
