So, I'm not going to make it this year. And, surprisingly, I'm okay with that. I like most of my characters and the plot is solid. My problem? Other then life? My writing was unfocused this year. I'm going to continue working on this story, though.

I'm still going to write today. I would like to hit 15,000. (Just a couple hundred more to go.) I had modified the 50,000 word count goal to 25,000 a week ago, figuring that it would be alright. My computer at home doesn't work. The only thing I have is my iPod Touch which isn't very good for writing. (Can we say "ouch" kids?)

Anyway, I hope everyone who did Nano this year at least accomplished something. It would be cool if you guys won, though? So, how'd you do?

Thanksgiving was surprisingly nice. It didn't start that way. I think my Mom was going to go around the bend there for a while. I have no idea why she was freaking out, but she was. There was only six of us: Mom, Dad, Me, my brother, my sister, and my sister's fiance. Anyway, after that, everything was fine. We cleaned up, played a few rounds of UNO and then monopoly. We cleared everything up at around 10. I took a shower and went to bed (had to go to work). My sister and her fiance took off for the night. Considering the last few holidays, this one was pretty good.

How about everyone else?

Thank you.

I am not very productive today.

That makes me sad.

I'll try again tomorrow.

LOL

So, Kim and I are going to see "New Moon" tomorrow. We're going later in the day. I think she actually wanted to go to the Midnight showing, but now it's sold out. Also, I think her husband is going with us, but I'm not sure yet. He saw Twilight with us when it came out. Here's the thing about this movie. It looks good, really. But the first one was . . . . kinda bad. I liked it the first time I watched it (in the theater) but when I got the DVD it . . . sucked. No pun intended.

New Moon looks better. But am I going to be disappointed in the spring when the DVD is released and I get it home and watch it. Here's the thing - I live Twilight and Eclipse better then New Moon and they're all better then Breaking Dawn. So, if the movie for one of my favorite books is bad, what does that mean for a book I didn't like as much?

Also, I don't understand this whole Team Edward - Team Jacob thing. The books were set up from the beginning that Bella end up with Edward and anyone who has the read the books know that Bella and Edward end up together and Jacob ends up (sort of) with their daughter. (Um, can we say icky? I think we can.)


The Blind Side looks like it's going to be a good movie. I haven't seen Sandra Bullocks last movie (The Proposal) but I like her in general, I like football, and it looks like it will be interesting. I might try to see that, too.

I'm done with Glee (FOX) spoilers. That is, I'm not watching clips or videos before the episode airs. I'm doing buying the songs on iTunes until after I watch the episode. I think I'm missing out on stuff because I can't wait. I get impatient. So, when "Mash Up" aired, I had watched all the videos that had been released and realized I had already seen half of the episode before aired. Last night, Glee came on again so I had avoided the clips at all cost but had bought all the songs. So, I wasn't as thrilled watching the epsiode as I was at the beginning of the second when I didn't do all of that. So, yeah, I'm giving up videos and songs until after the episode airs. So there.

Mercy (NBC) is getting better. I really like the premise and the show. The characters are interesting and I like that the focus just as much on character plotlines as patient plotlines. But . . . there's a lot of Meredith and Derek undertones going on. Veronica and Chris (Dr. Sanders) are like Meredith and Derek, only backwards. Yes, he knew she was married and all of that came out pretty fast but still. I recognize the undertones. I'm not upset just . . . been there, done that, you know? Oh, well.

Candada got Bones (FOX) last night and it airs in the U.S. tonight. I'm excited. Tonight is a lot of good TV: Bones (FOX), Grey's Anatomy (ABC), Fringe (FOX), and Private Practice (ABC). I'm excited about Bones (Booth's Grandpa, YES!) and I'm excited about Fringe (episode is about The Observers) but the ABC stuff tonight, not so much. Everyone is saying that this new girl is going to be Mark's daughter he didn't know about. She looks pretty young but around the Lexie's age. I'm not sure how they're going to do that though, so I guess we'll just have to see. As many people as Mark supposedly slept with, you sort of had to see this coming, I just didn't think his kid would be so old. Obviously the girl is still very young (and pregnant, if you can believe promos) but whatever. If this breaks up Lexie and Mark, well, I'll be pissed. I like Callie and Mark more but Callie is with Arizona and they don't seem to be breaking up anytime soon. I guess we'll have to see.

Characters last name is Chambers.

He is an old werewolf, who is the leader (Alpha of the Alphas if you will)

Emery

They all mean ruler in one form or the other. 

Thanks in advance. 

PS - you don't have to have a reason to like it, just let me know which one you like.  If you have a better suggestion, lay it on me, too.  Thanks!!

Sometimes I think I would have like to be around for the 1920's, during Prohibition.  The speakeasies, the fashion.  Yeah, that would have been cool.
