Today just keeps getting better...

Rumsfeld is gone!  Rejoice!

Yes!

So 56% of the people in this state don't exist as far as I'm concerned.  I know it sounds melodramatic, but you would be upset too if you had to go the nasty neighborhood package store every time you needed a bottle of wine.  Oh well.  I guess I'll have to write it off as one of the quirky things about living in Massachusetts.  Like the predominance of Dunkin Donuts and the crazy lack of a street grid.  I'll live.

But!  The rest of the election results, especially the national results, more than make up for it.

This particular voter is happy for the first time since 2000.  Voters are finally waking up.  Turnout was high, and see what happened.  There is hope.

I couldn't have asked for more.

Nag, Nag, Nag

Today is election day.  Go out and vote.  I don't want to hear your whining if you don't.

(Oh, and if you live in Massachusetts and vote against letting me buy my wine at the grocery store, like the rest of civilization, you will be DEAD TO ME.  Just so you know.)

Na No More - I promise!

Did you know that it is entirely possible to write 1809 words and have them all come together to form tired cliches and mixed metaphors?  Did you?

Well it is.  I wrote 1809 words today and I made the mistake of rereading them.  Ouch.  I'm pretty bad.  There go any dreams of literary virtuosity.  I would throw in the towel, except that going past my goal ("only" 1667 words a day!) is so exciting that I've decided that since this Nanowrimo "novel" will never be read by another living human, I might as well see if I can make it to 50K words.

Writing garbage is fun.  You should try it.

I know that reading about the process of creating bad prose is about as exciting as watching paint dry (See!  Cliches!  They are easy!  So is bad grammar!) so I will do my best to not post about Nanowrimo until the end of November.  If you are at all interested in checking out my progress, you can check out the fancy meter on my sidebar.

Instead of Nano garbage, I'll do my best to post my usual stuff.  Which come to think of it, isn't very literary either.  Some things never change!
