That's a good enough start for tonight. :)

EDIT: Spotted on IMDb ... Ben Affleck has made an astonishing swipe at long-term pal, director Kevin Smith - accusing him of exploiting teenage fans of his cult films. Affleck has appeared in five of Smith's films, starting with 1995's Mallrats and most recently this year's Jersey Girl. But Smith was reportedly upset Affleck snubbed the DVD launch of Jersey Girl - and Affleck has hit back while publicizing new movie Surviving Christmas. He told The Scoop, "It wasn't enough that I went to Vegas to play in his lame charity poker tournament for the DVD launch of Jersey Girl, but I also had to go out to his f***ing store where he's opening a store where all he's doing is selling more T-shirts of him and his jacka** friend (Jason Mewes) and he's roped in an entire generation of kids into thinking it's worth spending $30 on and $50 if he signs it. I mean the whole thing is a complete travesty and he wanted me to participate in it and I won't do that."

You know, I'd already heard about it, but just reading that ... do you think he's genuinely trying to ruin his career? Date every Jennifer in Hollywood, swear you're never doing another action movie and watch almost every one of your comedies go down the crapper, then insult the guy who directed and wrote the comedies people DID like you in. Oh, yeah. Smooth moves, all of them.

Today, in honor of NaNoWriMo, I wear this shirt. Hee. :)

EDIT: You know, I don't mind getting a gray hair or two in my bangs, maybe because I keep hoping that if I squeeze my eyes really tight and hope and pray and maybe throw a temper tantrum, I'll get Rogue streaks, but really, is it too much to ask that they be straight and lying flat instead of wavy, wild and sticking straight up in the air? Seriously, the last thing I need is a natural hairstyle that looks like what would happen if the heads of Doctor Emmett Brown and that guy from Kid and Play produced a love child.

OH, YEAH, AND THIS OTHER EDIT I FOUND STUCK UNDER MY DESK: And to make myself feel infinitely better about how much writing I've gotten done so far for the first day before I go to Borders and do more of it ...

I'd call in sick at work, but considering how bitchy I was all of last week about work, I doubt they'd believe I wasn't just playing hooky.

Girl with rare disease doesn't feel pain. Wow. That is so incredibly weird, and God knows I someone who reads that is bound to get a story idea from it.

Also, I have no clue why, but I've been watching a Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman episode. And just for good measure, it's a clip show. 'Cause hey, the world needs more proof that there might be another character who's as much of a karmic menace on a town as Jessica Fletcher.

Also, an article from CNN about the whole Redskins election thing. I only link it because of this quote -- "Oh, yeah, he's going to win. It's guaranteed," said Packers safety Darren Sharper, a Kerry supporter. "I don't have to vote now. Don't even have to go to the polls. Saved me a trip on Tuesday." Uh, no, you dumbass. That's why you have to go to the polls. If we all sat back and said, "Yay! They won! Kerry will win! We don't have to go!", it kind of wouldn't work, would it?

Mel Gibson is going to be on Bill O'Reilly in an hour. And I'm actually going to listen. HOLD ME.

By the way, I discovered today that I still despise coffee, even if they try to disguise it by saying they put white chocolate and gingerbread in it. Yeah, not a chance, but thanks for playing. Also, the low-carb cheesecake they sell at Borders can be used to bludgeon a murder victim. Remember that the next time you write CSI fic.

Also, have achieved black hoodie. And while I was rummaging through the racks at Marshalls, I found a pink T-shirt with "Hurley" written on it in sparkly rock-star letters. I don't think it would have been humanly possible for me to find a piece of clothing that more perfectly encompasses my Lost OT3 without flying out to the set and rummaging through their wardrobes.

I keep emailing myself bits of NaNo story as I work. They're not complete, they're not all for the first chapter, and they're not even in order, but hey, whatever I can get done.

I'm going to end up writing this like usual even though I'm trying to start with chapter one for once and work forward. Instead, I'm bouncing all over the story like a Tigger on crack and stringing the little sequences again later.

But so far, so good. :)

I hereby designate this post the official "Are we there yet?" post for the 2004 Presidential election. If you're impatient to vote and get this stupid election over with, but want to save yourself from cluttering other people's friends lists with "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?", feel free to vent here.

Also, stop kicking the back of my seat. And if you don't stop hitting your sister, I'm going to turn this voting booth around and no one's going to get any french freedom fries from the Electoral College.

I should do better tomorrow, considering I'm going to get up bright and early and head off to the polls here so that I'll be there hopefully by 6 am sharp. I was going to bring my DVD player with me to kill time, but to hell with that. There's plotbunnies afoot. :)
