I can do 11 am maybe. Might be able to finish the book. The last chapter is more readable than the early ones but geez. Apparently a character killed himself and I completely missed that until I read the wikipedia entry on the book.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, let's try it for this Thursday then at the hours I suggested.
I'll post something in Press to see if anybody else wants to play along. And if it turns out to be a good practice we can make it regular or semi-regular, or whatever works.

Always Anti-fascist!
It's not exactly onerous, but I'm having a hard time getting it up for my NaNo novel. And I refuse to glower in their girlie forums and make someone else hate me "on sight" I like this idea...it's vastly improved. But that's still not enough to counteract the voice in my head that's all "Nobody's going to read this...save the carpel-tunnel for your sex life."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK. I just made my coworker try to get me out of my bad mood, and now I am marginally less likely to growl, "Fuck off" at everyone who walks by me.
I guess that's a start.

It could be worst, bon. You could be reading As I Lay Dying. IIRC, what you missed is implied, but not spelled out.
I'm game, Hec. The problem would be to pick among the many onerous things I'm not doing.

My coworker was just listening to that song! Except somehow not. Maybe it was the sound filtering through the wall, but I would swear it was not actually Cee-Lo singing.

Because books.

I just bought it yesterday. I love it. Although I did cave and buy the edited one so I could listen when Sara's around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It can be a small thing. Keep it simple. I think it's helpful not to try to do all of them, but just break the deadlock.
Just one thing, and then if that gets you going all the better.
