Because I haven’t done one of these in a while

New words: 981
Reason for stopping: quota, must go get some other things done today, because that took hours
Sustenance: Raspberry tea, yummy basil-tomato cheddar I picked up at Blue Baker the other day
Exercise: BodyFlow yesterday. Meant to go running today, but writing has taken too much time.
Mean things: Sweaters with little pink kittens.
Time wasters: Cassie Edwards. About which, I say, “Lordy.”

Novel in 90 v.3: Audrey

words: 7,940 / 67,500 (12%)

In other news: Persuasion on Masterpiece Classics (formerly known as Masterpiece Theater, but showing up in DVR guides as merely Masterpiece) tonight. Also, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, about which I am optimistic.

  1. How are sweaters with little pink kittens mean?

  2. They’re offensive to the person meant to be wearing them.

  3. I think I’m just lost on that…

    What did you think of Terminator: SCC?

  4. The character in question is attempting to dress professionally for work while pregnant, and she’s insulted at the cutesy maternity clothes she’s finding in the store.

    I thought SCC wasn’t bad at all. I’ll keep watching.

  5. I agree. I wasn’t overwhelmed by it but I think it has room to grow. It surprised me a little. They are certainly expanding the concept, which I am happy about.

I’m addicted to the NYTimes maps this morning, especially the county bubble view. Hello, population distribution! It’s fascinating to compare this year to 2004.
