    For some reason it gives me great pleasure to know that people are always doing something way more cryptic than me.

    Basically, in the month of November, a bunch of lunatics around the world all try to complete a 50,000-word novel in a single month. I'm wondering if I'm that crazy.
    I keep wanting to get into writing again, but every time I grab a pencil and paper, I end up staring at it and thinking "...Fuck."

    I need to start pencil/paper writing again and then just typing it in later, because these days when I try to write on my computer I just get sucked into dicking around on the internet. :|

    I much prefer physically writing something out than typing. I'm a shitty typist, for one thing. But it also keeps me from getting sidetracked fixing typos/making minor fixes/etc.

    Yeah, the breakdown of straight-up typing for me is as follows:

    Pros:
    -I type really fast
    -I can easily rearrange/rewrite as soon as I notice something I don't like

    Cons:
    -I agonize over every word so who cares how fast I type?
    -I can easily rearrange/rewrite as soon as I notice something I don't like

    Teachers who rebel have their licenses revoked. And if you wanted to be a real rebel, you'd find the standardized test booklet for reading comprehension and hand that in as your assignment.

    I can drive a stick. People who drive stick are less likely to be in or cause accidents. Australia said so.

    Edit: Seriously, this Australian dude I used to talk to was pulling insurance statistics and shit.

    Hey, it's playable with all settings on very high. I'm constantly over 30fps when I reduce shadow compexity to "high" instead of "very high".

    So far I'm happy and it looks gorgeous.

    I think it is time for some huevos rancheros.

    Thanks for the book suggestions, Will and Cat! I think I will head to the bookstore and/or library this afternoon and take a look at the Pratchett science books and the Feynman bio. That or I'll just be lazy and dig up my copy of "A Short History of Nearly Everything" (but I'd feel kind of bad about that because when I designed my Evolution unit plan I gave a reading handout from that book already).

    Insurance statistics are a bit more reliable than most. There's kind of a vested-interest in their accuracy, as opposed to a vested interest in their proving your point.

    No, I mean, I heard from my roommate (he keeps up with a few Aussie newspapers online) that there was an ad campaign which broke down to "If you speed, you have a small penis".

    Make sure your huevos rancheros are good ones, Grace. I find:

    corn tortilla
    two eggs, over easy
    pinto beans
    green chile sauce
    cheddar cheese

    stacked in that order is pretty magnificent. Fried eggs with bottled salsa are like welfare huevos rancheros.

    Well that's an ad campaign. Expecting there to be any truth in it is like expecting people to thank you for stabbing them in the throat.

    mozzarella/asiago cheese blend
    Mrs Renfro's black bean salsa

    So I was making tabouleh last night, and had a big baker's bowl of chopped parsley, onion and tomato. I was over at the fridge, and I look over, and Frankie is emptying the cat's bowl into my bowl of veggies for the tabouleh.

    Me: "What the fuck are you doing?!"

    Frankie (looking up surprised): "Nothing"

    Me: "No, seriously. I am watching you empty the cat's bowl into the food I'm making! Why would you do such a thing?!"

    Frankie: "Um. Well. I wasn't really thinking. I saw some parsley in the cat's bowl and thought it shouldn't be there so I guess I just wanted to put it back"

    Me: "..."

    Frankie: "Your girlfriend is kind of retarded"
