NaNoWriMo






I have signed up to write a novel in 30 days. I have until midnight on November 30 to complete a 50,00 word novel. Needless to say, I think I will not be doing chores this month. The idea is to write quick and dirty and not be burdened down by editing or wordsmithing. Let the creative juices flow. Edit later. Bad news for all you wanna-be authors - deadline to register was tonight at midnight.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -- Here I come.

What is a Meme? and Why did I participate in one?

I found this meme (what does meme stand for?) on another Blog and thought I would give it a shot. The idea is to take your iPod shuffle (in my case Zen Player) and take a random shuffle to fill in the sond track of your life. Here is how mine goes --

Opening Credits
Photography - Nickelback

Waking Up
Monterey - George Winston

Average Day
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith

First Date
Rock and Roll - Led Zepplin

Make Out session

Sex Song
Freedom/The Execution/Bannockburn - Braveheart Soundtrack

Falling In Love
La Belle Dame Sans Regrets - Sting

Fight Song
Mystery Game - Clannad

Long Drive
Gone Fishin' - Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong

Getting Cheated On
Summer of Love - The Beach Boys

Breaking Up
Marathon - Rush

Getting Back Together
Your Body is a Wonderland - John Mayer

Life's Okay
Mr. Roboto - Styx

Party Scene
The British Arrival - Last of the Mohican Soundtrack

Mental Breakdown

Deep Thought
Hong Kong Phooey - Sublime

Flash Back
Reprise / Fly Away - Superman Returns

Death Scene
Angels Among Us - Alabama

Closing Credits
Menu Music from Neverwinter Nights - a D&D computer game

Some of the picks just do not make much sense. Hong Kong Phooey for Deep Thought? No. Sex song is the death song from Braveheart? Weird . . But some how it might make sense. Falling in love music by Sting? Rock On!!!

I think I'll burn it as a CD!!! Ha Ha HA!

Pod Cast?

I have made an attempt at creating my first selfmade audio broadcast. A podcast or an Audio Blog? That is the rub. I'm not sure what to call it.

I'm also having trouble remembering how to upload a file to the blog. I know I got the "cat's in the cradle" to play on the blog. I wish I could remember how. I'll play around for a little longer and if I don't figure it out, good night Gracie.

Blogger Beta

I just switched to the Beta. I do not know what this means. My blog looks the same. There are suppose to be some more options. I noticed that I can set up labels for ease of use. I will be interested to play around with this.
