Food, glorious food

16. Mussels
17. Cheesecake
18. Lamb
19. Cream tea

That NaNoWriMo thing seems to pretty popular. I think it's a good idea in a way, but I'm not really sure why the signing-up part is necessary. Regardless, I'm not going to do it, whether officially or unofficially, but I probably SHOULD try writing on a more regular schedule. I always tell myself that, though, and I never see it through. Sort of like practicing the guitar, really.

Today, I saw (well, actually just heard) a commercial for Doug Forrester (the Republican gubernatorial candidate for New Jersey) that said he was "the shock therapy New Jersey needs." Um, do they LISTEN to what they say in those political spots before putting them on the air?

what is NaNoWriMo? I've seen it in several people's journals, but have no clue.

I second this.

National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=2). You're supposed to write a 50,000-word novel within the month of November. Not a bad idea, really, but I've never done it.

HAH! Well, wouldn't that be nice... will not mention again how long I've been working on certain novels....

Well, based on what the rules say, I don't think it's supposed to be a PUBLISHABLE novel. It's just a practice type of thing.
