queen of the cat people

Yesterday the Queen of the Cat People told me my fortune! She said it would be a good nano year for me, hooray! She also told me other sekrits (too bad you spelling nazis, i love that gnilleps!) but they are non-nano-ness and thus sekrits they shall remain...

I met some other nano peeps again and met some new ones! Hello crazies! And hello again non-nano peeps, you should really join me sometime!

In more nano-news, I froze my gym membership for the month. FIFTY KAY HERE I COME!

Speaking of Queen... that's what I'm listening to right now. I'M READY FREDDIE.

breakthrough?

Besides my first chapter perhaps being called "Absurd Little Bird" because of the song the Von Trapp children sing about the cuckoo clock in the Sound of Music, I've found another famous reference to the cuckoo clock by Orson Welles in 1949 film noir The Third Man (based on a Graham Greene book--doog, who the heck is that guy?!?).

Perhaps this can be my beginning quote in my novel (which is like 99% plotless at this point in time--hey, notice how I am getting more loquacious already? November must be afoot!!) like some real novelists do:

"In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed — they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Wiki says that the Germans created it, but then the quote wouldn't be as good, right?

BRILLIANT. What society would produce a satanic cuckoo clock? Things to ponder.

non-defunct bands!

DOODS! MY NOVEL HAS SEKRIT POWERS!!!!

Witness, I wrote about Chinese Democracy never coming out. Well IT HAPPENED.

Witness, I wrote about Limp Wrist being the best ever but breaking up--BUT THEY ARE BACK TOGETHER.

I am now taking requests for my new second novel, so things you thought wouldn't happen will totally happen before my third attempt at nanowrimo. Thus I spake.

bryant park reading room

Who knew that Bryant Park had an outdoor reading room? Met up with NYC nanowritmo peeps! Their inspired craziness should hopefully get me to the 50K mark this year.

Also I still totally need to get that For Those About To Write shirt. WE SALUTE YOU!!!!!!!
