yo, i really have no idea what's up with my lack of posting lately. the last few posts (which were ages ago) were lame, just youtubed nonsense. such a blog post cop-out. can't think of something- -let someone else do the talking.
i would love to say that i have something really interesting that i want to school everyone about, but that would just be a blatant lie. so, what's been on my mind lately? NOTHING. for the last few minutes i've been thinking about how i want an invite to google wave and that i should have taken my friend up on it when it was offered to me a few weeks ago. i didn't know what it was (i still don't, really) and i declined. now i'm digging on the idea of having it, even if i'm not going to use it, and i want it. i'm very impressed that google has managed to create something and make me want it without even telling me what it is. kudos. that's some good stuff you're layin' down, g-men.other than my 15 minute long g-wave frenzy, i got nuthin'. thanksgiving was non-existent (you know, because there were no pilgrims or native americans in scotland). that totally makes me think about christina ricci in addams family values and that kind of fantastic thanksgiving play scene
which then makes me think about how christina ricci went from this...
to this...
and that freaks me out.
yeah, so... thanksgiving. that went by and nothing happened. now it's almost december and everybody's talking about christmas and what-not. this would be a really good time for me to get a job since all of the shops are looking for christmas help. i sent off my application for my national insurance number and am just waiting (and waiting) to get it back so that i can't start a' lookin'.
i'll keep you posted on any jobs/job related awesome discounts on cool stuff that might come up. i think that it's going to be a pretty rough holiday season. i'm going to miss my family and friends a lot. i'm trying to convince gavin that paris is the best place to spend new years (or hogamany in edinburgh at the very least-- we'll talk about how they call it hogamany here and why at some later date).
oh, i went to the dentist today. had a cavity. thought british dental care was going to be barbaric. was wrong, wasn't that bad. have a doctor's appointment wednesday... this is how exciting my life is (sigh).
i have been writing, although i hit a bit of a stumbling block and had to backtrack and rewrite a bunch of stuff. ah well, it was bound to happen. think i'm getting close to the end of the new novel now (barring anymore stumbling blocks). i think that this one will actually be more market friendly. while i'm shopping this one out i'm going to rework the first one so that maybe SOMEDAY someone will buy the damn thing from me and let somebody else read it (fingers crossed).
hmm, what else is going on? i suppose that's it, really. i'm uber excited about the saints this season. having said that, i've probably just jinxed them for tonight's game. for right now though, at this very second in time (which i am going to freeze forever with this post) the SAINTS are 10-0. lemme hear ya say, "who dat?!"
so, we'll be watching the game come 1:30am. wishing that we could be back in nola watching it with all of our peeps.
i must say that i'm loving this arctic winter, though. ffffreezing, yes, but i can't get enough. i think we're going to get a christmas tree next week. it might even snow. i guess that's about all i've got. i promise to be good and write more soon (and more often).
for now-- thanks for stopping by, happy monday, roll on december and tom brady throws like a girl (a little girl with ribbons in her hair) GEAUX SAINTS!!
