Week One Wrap Up: 4 Days and the Excitement is Building
It's been four long days and NaBloPoMo is still going strong. There've been tears, there's been heartache, pain, determination, courage, and the will to survive. The going's been tough, but when the going gets tough, the tough get going and the crybabies stay home crying into their soup.
- Our psychic abilities are still limited to foretelling how many times a particularly annoying commercial will air while we are watching tv. We have not found a way to market this skill.
- K. thanked me for clearing off the top of the dryer, and he even patted my head. There are still no hot dogs.
- After I wrote the tribute to my phone and texting, I updated the software and my phone freaked out and I had no phone for like 15 hours. I survived, but it was close. There have been no text messages at all today. At last check, I am still alive.
- I went to the flea market today. I always take photos of produce when I am there. I rarely buy produce. I mostly buy books that I think no one else would want and that I feel sorry for.
- I am on the cusp of realizing that I have a problem feeling sorry for books, and that my house is not big enough to hold all of the books in the world that I feel sorry for, which is most of the books at every flea market you can think of. More on this later.
- Today was actually kind of dull. I am half under the weather and spent a lot of time cutting fabric and no time sewing and so I have little to show for Sunday, November 4th. All of the hype was designed to make you think that something had actually happened, when in fact the opposite is true. Like those car commercials on today during football in which car companies that do not actually produce hybrids talk about hybrids while showing photos of their non-hybrid cars. It's confusing. But then again the beer commercials are confusing me too. On that note...

Pretty photo. I like it. A lot.
No texting today. I know how you feel as my phone was blocked from texting for a few hours while at the flea market. It hurt.
NaBloPoMo is testing me. Will I make it? Will I make it? It is doubtful.
I want to know what type of books you feel sorry for. Books with ripped covers? Autobiographies of people you've never heard of?

Ooh-I so look forward to the post on the refuge for lost books ; ) I'm reading _The Shadow of the Wind_ right now, which starts with the boy's father taking him to the secret home for books which are no longer read... ~lmc
