Day Six

... Yes. It is Day 6. For a second, I thought that maybe it was actually Day 7 and I was an idiot, but no, we're good. Might still be an idiot, though.

Well, Camp NaNoWriMo is going, if nothing else! I was amazingly (but unsurprisingly) unproductive on the 4th, wrote about 900 words yesterday, and am still getting up to my word-count-goal for today.

Happy Caturday. Here's a cat.




The Fool and the Rock


In other news, I took a hike today at a state park and then drove to Bangor and learned some things!

1) Mainers really like cairns.
 2) Maine is freaking beautiful???
3) Maine is basically the exact same as the northwoods of Minnesota and Wisconsin except with the ocean, mini-mountains, an obsession with lobster and even weirder accents.
4)  Ever since working retail for a year and a half, I've become increasingly more awkward when I talk to sales associates at stores. Not sure why. Hahahaha
5) Yup, that's about it.

Anyway, while I was sitting on the beach of the state park, there was this elderly couple who were walking in front of me, and then sitting not to far away from me, and they were basically the best old couple I'd ever eavesdropped on.
They started off my comparing all the cairns along the beach to fairy houses, which was adorable. Some of them really looked like fairy houses, but I'd never thought of them that way :)
While I was sitting on a rock, working on my sunburn, they continued to discuss the cairns they saw.

Woman: Wow, whoever made this was really ambitiousless.
Man: What? No! Can't you see, they're minimalists, not ambitiousless! Look at this cairn. They made it exactly the way they wanted it too; in their eyes, it is perfection.
Woman:...no, I think they were just lazy.

A little later, they moved on to discussing the hiking trail. Having just been on it, I knew what they were talking about.
Woman: That doesn't look like a trail.
Man: Huh?
Woman: Is that the path we saw on the chart?
Man:... I have no idea what you're talking about.
Woman: What? What are you talking about?
-silence-
Man: There is a trail.
Woman: Yes, but that's not the trail, what you're on can't be the trail on the chart, can it?
Man: What chart?
Woman: Oh, you know, the one we saw.
Man: You mean the map?
-pause-

Anyway. They were cute.

I should stop procrastinating and keep on writing :)

since it's apparently Caturday now, here are a few more cats.

I must go

#20!

Oh yes, I ended with She's the Man . A great movie. #19 was Serenity , a lovely movie that continues Firefly . #20 is Sense and Sensibility! Genres:  Based off Book, Feelings, Romance So, yes, I love Jane Austen. I'm feeling way too lazy to find some awesome internet gifs, so that'll be skipped this time around. Best parts about this movie? Fanny Dashwood. Amazingly awful. She doesn't like the smell of books. who doesn't like the smell of books Hugh Grant? Bumbling at his best. Margaret Dashwood... in love with an atlas. Alan Rickman....being Alan Rickman. A fine film! Which reminds me: ARE YOU IN A JANE AUSTEN NOVEL?? you'd better find out.

IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE

I mean, what's two years in the life of an indifferent blogger? Just a blink of the eye. So, kudos to me, it's not NaNoWriMo and I'm updating my blog!!!!! Anyway I thought I'd update the ol' Spete Blog with my newest publication announcement! Two (2) short stories! Both are older (3+ years old) works that I decided on a whim to publish ( read as: I was working on my novel and had fallen into a pit of despair because it's so long and I'm never going to finish the thing and I dismally remembered that I haven't published anything since Andrian Adventures like 10 years ago and what is even the point of keeping all my old stories to myself on my laptop if I'm just going to stare sadly at them day and isn't it much better to publish them and then stare sadly at the 0 Sales report instead ) .  They're fractured fairy tales of the silliest sort. Also, both take place in the kingdom of Atlis. I have done so much world building f...

~Live Long and Prosper~

Heyooo so today I watched my favorite movie! But before we get to that, quick update on movies I've watched since my Superman adventure. #10: Superman II   (same genres as Superman) I was drunk when I rewatched this and fell asleep halfway through, but it still counts. #11: Stardust  Genres: Fantasy, Based off Book, Romance Ok, so I do actually love this movie-- and the book!-- and I considered making the fourth genre Fancy Hair, but decided that was ridiculous #12: The Sting  Genres: Bromance, Shenanigans, Happiness I adore The Sting. Introduced to me by my father, this movie is great. First time I watched it, I thought that the SPOILERPERSON actually SPOILERDIED so that was exciting Movie #13 Star Trek!!!!   Genres: Remake, Bromance, Friendship=Magic Soooooooooooo for whatever reason, this is my favorite movie of all time. I find that fact super perplexing; like.... why???? Why is this movie my favorite??? I hadn'...
