Signing Off
Check out the WGA's blog with all sorts of interesting tidbits about this strike.
I read an article yesterday about entertainment bloogers going on strike as well, in support of the writer's strike. I thought that was funny. But then I thought: "Hell, no one reads this blog anyway and I'm hard-pressed for a reason to actually keep it going. Why don't I say that I TOO am striking in solidarity to cover up the fact that I really don't feel like writing on here?"
Good idea.
So yeah. That's where I'm at.
Maybe when the strike's over I'll have something new to write about. Maybe not.
Adieu...

Didn't Even Have To Use My AK
It was a good day.
Thanks to my landlady's tendency to hold off on cashing the rent check until the week before the next one is due, I have narrowly avoided financial ruin.
This afternoon the first check from my handful of freelancing gigs arrived in the mail.
I hurriedly went to the city and deposited it into my account.
I've been checking my balance daily for the last couple weeks, waiting for the rent check to clear. I've mentally taken it out already, so with each day I was prepared to find my pre-vized $1.95 ending balance become my actual $1.95 ending balance.
After depositing my check, I passed by a sushi bar that was closing for the evening. They were selling their remaining boxed suhi meals for 50% off. I was able to get some spicy tuna, salmon, and vegetable rolls for a total of $6.25.
I have a paid focus group on alcoholic beverages to attend tomorrow evening and a friend called and said she has some work for me next week.
Not exactly a windfall, but anything is welcome at this point.

NaNoWriMo Is Here
Yes. November is National Novel Writing Month and, as I haven't been working regularly and find myself spending hours and hours in front of my computer at home whiling away the hours, I decided I'd join in the fun and try to get something productive done.
I was also asked by a friend a few weeks ago if I'd like to join her writing group, so I'll be working on stuff for that too.
Originally I had intended to use NaNoWriMo as an excuse to finish my years-in-progress New Orleans novel, but since they frown on bringing previously written material to the table I figure I'll workshop that book in the writing group and work on a completely new novel this month.
Ambitious? Yes.
But why not give it a shot?
