It's been raining all day today.
Which means that the likelyhood of power being restored to Casa New Jersey today has been reduced to about a thousandfold.
And the phone here at The Company has been ringing off the hook, only there's this annoying “beep … beep” at the other end. Not sure what that is, but it's getting about as annoying as the lack of power (okay, I'll shut up about that now).
I've also concluded that while I'm not going to participate in this years National Novel Writing Month [1], I should however, set the goal of actually writing about my trip to Las Vegas [2] back in July. I have the layout I want to use. And the notes. And the pictures. But none of the actual text. I started to write it, back in late July, early August, but I was approaching the material in a voice not my own and it really showed (awful … just awful stuff).
So screw it. Write it the way I write (and lately, I'm not very enamored with the way I write) and get the thing done this month.
Just as soon as I get power back.
