What I've been up to lately: (a) Winning the Halloween costume contest at work. (b) Plugging away on my NaKniSweMo sweater, which is going well. I couldn't get gauge on it for shit, but since it was off enough that I could just make it in a bigger size and still follow the instructions, I am doing that. I've tried it on so far and it's fitting, so yay to that. (c) National Play Writing Month is going well, for the most part. I am actually just kind of writing out the whole driving thing as it happened rather than trying to fit it into playwriting format yet--I figure I can just go through it later and prune down or something. I don't know if I'll get a 50k word count on that or not, but I might as well give it a shot since I am over 10k now. I am seriously starting to wonder if I just start hating everything I work on once it becomes big-sized, though. All was fine and lovely before 10k, and then I started hitting the "this is less fun" burnout point yesterday. That...seems like a problem to me. (d) I have heard that most of the East Coast relatives are fine, though some were in NYC at the time--the non-flooded, still-has-power end. I never heard about one cousin, but I assume she's fine and I am just way low on the "people telling me this shit" list. (e) I went to see Steve Wozniak last Monday, as he came to town for a Q&A session with the engineering dean for the engineering department's anniversary or something. He was quite cute and geek Santa Claus-ish--I don't know why I thought that. Here are some thoughts from the notes I took (on my iPod): * He loves Segway polo and is on a team called the Silicon Valley Aftershocks (hah). He loooooooves Segway and wonders why it didn't take off with everyone. My guess is: the expense. |
