Today's Mighty Oak

We’re Browncoats: we may have lost the war, but that doesn’t mean we were on the wrong side



Well let's see, it has been a bit, hasn't it.  I was at Saint Vincent for Founder's Day for the Institutional Advancement reception.  They had sushi!  And these really good chicken stuffed mushroom caps.  It was kind of odd though, as I was by far the youngest person there.  I did sit with a really awesome couple from Delaware, and we had a good time (the wine helped).  I got to see the fireworks and the light up, even though it was pouring down rain, which should have been snow, but it was fun anyway.  Afterwards I grabbed a cup of tea, a biscotti (not a potato for everyone on K-4) and headed to Jan's room and visited for a couple hours.

Other than that, I've been keeping busy trying to catch up with my NaNoWriMo project.  My current goal is to write 5,000 words a day (except for Thanksgiving), that would have me finishing the project on Sunday, so I can do that.  I've written over 3.500 words today (so of course it's logical that I take a break to write this…).

In other news, I was able to try out the Wii at EB Games (excite truck) and I had a good time…and Cat still owes me five dollars.  And she knows this, but denies it.  Apparently, we're fighting.

Anyway, I finished two books recently: The Great Hunt and A Walk in the Woods.  The first is the second book in the Wheel of Time (I won't let myself start the third before I finish two other books, Wicked and Reaper Man, but I really want to start it).  A Walk in the Woods was entertaining, it's about a guy hiking the AT.

In other book news, there will be a new PostSecret book coming out, right now slated for New Year's-ish.  I'm excited, but I hope it's longer than My Secret, which was too short in my opinion, especially after how long the first book was.

Well, that's it for now, catch everyone later!
