And so on...

It's 6.22 a.m. 

Never mind what my post-time tag says.

If it's different, it's because I've not figured out how to change the time zone correctly.

Now: In Bigger, Better, WriMo news:
    I wrote a whopping 0 words yesterday. Yes, that's right folks, Zero words. I mean, for NaNoWriMo.......If 
writing about other people's books, well then, I probably wrote at least 1,000. Probably more. I'm glad this is my last semester of undergrad. I mean, really. Really.

Oh, yeah, did you hear that Barack Obama is the new president? Yes, yes, I'm sure you did. As someone said recently, the country is in the proverbial shitter. I like the terminology. I mean, despite the obvious crude nature, "shitter" has a certain quality of conveying a precise image. Don't you think?

I have to say, good job, 20-somethin's. I mean,
we're known as the lazy bums cruising through college,
or crashing with our parents after we graduate from college.
Or whatever.
But, seriously, I really think we stepped up in this election.
We have brains.
We used them: and we made a difference.
she's coming home!

So, to anyone who received an "I Voted" sticker--you're a peach, and I mean it, Peaches.
