Random thoughts relating to old entries...

How did the novel writing go? Not as well as I'd hoped, but not terribly. I wound up with just under 19,000 words, which is very much just a beginning. I'm not terribly motivated to finish it, in all honesty. Maybe that's pathetic on my part or maybe it's just indicative of an inherent laziness in me. Eh, whatever. Maybe I'll try again next year, but this year the logistical obstacle to the project fitting into my life were insurmountable.

In my usage statistics, I continually find that the most common search strings that lead to me have to do with doing heroin or how much health insurance sucks. To update on those posts - my veins haven't gotten any bigger and they still haven't resolved the stupid health insurance issue. And now the old medical insurance folks who still cover my dental are looking for an addtional $57 for my fillings. Apparently my dentist charges more money than the stardad filling cost, so Medical Claims Services has decided that that makes it okay to screw me. Argh. Gonna go breathe for a minute now.

I am still eating tuna fish with chow mein noodles. It's good!

I sent stuff off to my internet secret santa and it was received, yay! It appears, however, that I will not be getting anything from my secret santa. Why? Well, I got an e-mail saying she didn't use credit cards and was out of the country and wanted my address to send me something. Um, yeah... no. Oh well. Tis the season of giving, not receiving, right?

Speaking of out of the country, add Ireland and Denmark to my list of countries visiting my site. My Canadian contingent is getting higher too... maybe if I mention mounties, the secession of Quebec, the establishment of Nunavut, saying eh and aboot, and my favorite band The Tragically Hip - maybe then I can boost it further... or maybe they'll think I'm mocking them and hate me forever.

I went into the bathroom at WORK yesterday and found that somebody had peed on the seat. For want of a better term, that make me really pissy.

Work is going a bit better. Rather than killing the president of the company, I just made a case for me being right and him being wrong. That seemed to work. We found a middle ground. I'm happier now... but I'm not naive enough to think that this'll last.

Today the cafeteria had Cajun Risotto for lunch. I'm not sure how they make Italian food Cajun - they used to add okra but they've gotten away from that - but it's tasty nonetheless. Risotto makes me happy.

Happy is good.
