Back again

So I failed at NaBloPoMo. *sigh* Unfortunately, being away for Thanksgiving just didn't give me time to write. Oh well, it got me engaged in the blog anyway.

Interesting development at work last week. One of the ladies I work with now has a security detail. Apparently, she took out a restraining order against a guy some time ago and now he's out of jail. So the company's providing her security. Makes me feel safer.

The guy's got a few screw loose or something. He hasn't hurt anybody yet, but he's definitely stalking her. He thinks they're involved. It reminds me of an episode of Angel where this crazy guy (he can detach his own arms and legs and everything, which makes him hard for the police to trace) who thinks he's married to the lady he only dated once or twice.

I expect this guy could get more dangerous. I haven't seen him yet, which is probably a good sign. Now all we have to do is hope he doesn't come around or the security detail is good enough. My plan if I meet him: "Oh Linda, she moved to Iowa." (Not the best, but there you have it.)

Life of Brian

I love Monty Python when I need a good laugh. This weekend DH and I watched Life of Brian. If you're a Python fan or just have a wacky sense of humor, this is a must-see. It's particularly good for Christians with a sense of humor, or anyone who enjoys religious satire and understands Christian references.

Poor Brian lives at the same time as Jesus and, through a series of misunderstandings and such, becomes a quasi-Messianic figure himself. Only he doesn't want to be one and he's really nothing special. Things don't turn out so well for poor Brian.

What's most impressive is the way the guys turned a depressing ending into something rather amusing. But if you're in the 1% of the population who hasn't seen it, I won't give away the ending.

Btw, it's the 15th today. Officially 1/2 of NaBloPoMo is over. Very relieved. I don't have to succeed, but I'd like to. It's just that I feel kinda pressured sometimes when I think about it.

Good luck everybody! :)

Squeaking in

While there's still an hour to go before midnight, I feel like I'm squeaking under the line with this post. It's been a really busy day. The bad news is that I didn't get to clean the house like I wanted to. The good news is that I got a lot of other things done.

I was going to try out Kasamba today. *sigh* Maybe I'll have time tomorrow or on Labor Day. Maybe I'll never have time. In that case, no biggie, it didn't take long to register for the account.

LOL, I just looked over at DH and he's always so nervous when I glance over onto his computer. He feels a lot of performance anxiety as a writer, and while he doesn't mind my seeing the finished product or even editing it he gets uptight if I look before that. Like he's just writing a blog post too, but I know he'll revise and revise it and only then let me look at it. Silly boy.

Um, I want to share a tip of the day. So, tips from today. Hmm.

If you want to get something done, go do it. Right now. No excuses. Comment later.

That sounds inconsistent after I just said that I hadn't gotten in Kasamba, but Kasamba wasn't my priority. I had some projects of my own to finish and I just did them. Even when I wanted to procrastinate.

Saturdayness :)

Today wasn't too exciting, I helped a friend with a small webdesign project, so I'm kinda tired of looking at the screen. I was a little worried I wouldn't have time to post here (and I just started participating in NaBloPoMo where you have to post once a day)!

I didn't get a chance to look at Kasamba today and see about signing up. I want to create a new e-mail address for it and Paypal and everything. But maybe I'll get around to that tomorrow. Has anybody heard about it, can tell me whether or not it's a good idea?

If not, that's cool, I'll sign up and give it a go. It just looks like a tough market to break into. And it looks like you'd have to put up a picture. I'm all about being open, but I don't particularly want my face plastered online. It feels creepy.

Plus, I came from a conservative community. But then, why would they be looking for readers?

I'll post about how it goes!
