You're like a buzz, looking for a bee

Nanowrimo is going very well for me so far. My goal is to always be at least a day ahead and this isn't so hard on my days off at all. It's probably going to get harder on my days at work, but hopefully they will decently staffed and I will have some time to write while I'm at work. Because falling behind is what kills me. Also just getting trapped in long inner monologues, and strange conversations between characters. I need more action. Action is a catalyst for stuff! AGH!

Finished a book called The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook...it was a good light reading, smutty, steampunk book. My universe is very flexible so chances are that any book I read this month will somehow bleed into my work. Hopefully in ways that aren't easily recognizable to people who don't either know me really well or have a time line of the books that I am reading.

Also, blew my mom's mind tonight by showing her a clip for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's rally to restore sanity and/or fear. I showed her Cat Stevens on stage with Ozzy Osbourne and both Stewart and Colbert arguing over whether it was a Peace Train or a Crazy Train and finally deciding it was a Love Train (though Stephen just wasn't sure). Mom kept just being like Cat Stevens...I can't believe this is happening. It was kind of hilarious. Then I blew her mind more because a guy who I went to high school with was on a TV show airing on animal planet tonight (how sad that we don't get animal planet, I promised I'd find it online for her somewhere). It's a show called Lost Tapes where they do little stories about supposed 'lost tapes' from people who got attacked by urban myth-ie animals. So, that should be interesting as he will undoubtedly be the WHITEST PERSON ON SCREEN EVER. I'll still watch it and laugh really hard.

That's about all I have for this evening before I'm back to Nano-ing! Good luck for November party people!
