20,208!

Lots of updates in the lab. So stop bugging me about not posting.

Liberty Memorial

Today is Armistice Day (which you know) and NPR had a really interesting interview with a guy who'sbeen recording the last living World War One vets. There's only 14 left in the US. The youngest is 106. The oldest is amazingly 115. And there was a mention of Kansas City's Liberty Memorial.

The Liberty Memorial is a beautiful piece of art deco. It is also the largest WWI memorial in the country. Unfortunatly, when I was live in KC, it was also falling apart and in a seedy part of town. I'd always see it from th highway, barricaded by fencing. Apparently, huge chunks of concrete were falling off so there was fencing to prvent hapless people getting hurt.

When I moved away in 2002, it was just starting a restoration. And now it's done! Apparently, as of 9/20/06 it became the National World War One Museum. Cool. Unfortantely, it will be closed from 11/13 to 12/2 - the days when I'm actually going to be home.

Damn it! I think I'm never actually meant to go to the Liberty Memorial, which sucks because I voted for the two-state tax to fix the damn thing. I think I may still go to the memorial, just to actually get close to it.

17028!

I can't believe it...I've almost caught up to Omouse. Of course, she didn't write last night.

Andyway, I had a Week Two Melt-Down. I'll write about that little misadventure when I get home this evening. Right now it's 7:55 (a.m.) and I need to eat breakie and go to work. I was just so excited about catching up, I had to post immediately.

Oh, and I have a legal question posted on the forums. Help me! Becuae if you don't read the post, I'm just going to ask your opinions anyway.

Week Two

It's the start of week two and I'm ahead (12777) of the minimum word cournt. Not as far ahead as Omouse, but pretty good for me.

Yesterday was election day and I took great joy in not voting for Rick Santorum. Apparntly, so did lots of people in Pennsylvania. Last night, after the polls had closed, I got the final telephone survey. Silly me, I answered. Anyway, they wanted to know the reasons I did or did not vote for Santorum. I said, "Because he's bigoted and filled with hate." And it's true. I embarressed he was my senator. But not anymore.

Guess What I've Been Doing

I posted three new sections of the Nano novel in the Lab. Check it out, Omouse, and stop bugging me about posting.

Oh, and Omouse is on my machine leaving a message RIGHT NOW but I'm too busy posting to answer the phone. Sorry.

10779, by the way. I plan on gaing some ground tonight. Too busy at work to get anything done. You know, I was working.

10484

Just a quick blog to brag about my word count: 10,484! It's such a nice change to be ahead of the word count.

And on another note: lactose-free eggnog rocks!

Tomorrow I'll post what I've written.

It's here!

It's Nano time! I'm at 3000 words thus far and Omouse and Iambe have left me in the dust.
