Updates

Well, fanbase, remember how I've harped about how I'm not going to tell you about my personal life, because it's boring? I lied. Not about its being boring, I mean; I lied about not telling you about my personal life. Why subject you to stuff that's boring? Well, I'm feeling guilty for not updating this blog in over a month, and also feeling guilty that my last post was about watching March of the Penguins while in a hormonal state. So:

Update 1: I will sally forth from the parental abode in about a week and a half to live in my own apartment. Ah, the bliss, the freedom, of living on one's own. No need to share a bathroom. No misconceptions about what one means by "average cleanliness" (that's relating back to my Chicago roommate, a situation upon which I do not care to expound). The joy of having 727 square feet of "personal space" (not huge, but not small, either).

The bills.

I'm trying not to think too hard about that last part, or about how I probably won't be able to afford satellite TV/cable, which is unfortunate as I've gotten hooked on all these anime shows on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

(Let's insert a confession here: For all intents and purposes, I am a nerd. Yes, I watch anime [currently Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, and an episode or two of Cowboy Bebop]. I also enjoy Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and am working on collecting the DVD sets, disposable income permitting. I like Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. Heaven help me, I also like Army of Darkness. I can't remember how the movie came up, but I think on some message board on some website somewhere, there is a post by yours truly that reads "Bruce Campbell, make me your zombie queen!")

Ahem. Moving on.

Update 2: About a week ago, I attempted to upgrade my desktop system. It worked, more or less, and everything was going fine until I set it on fire. At least, I assume it caught fire. I turned on the computer and five seconds later started smelling nasty smoke so dived to turn the thing off, and when when my brother and I opened the case, some wires were burnt. But luckily all I had to do was replace the power supply and--

Boy, that's even less interesting than the apartment update. Moving on again.

Update 3: Progress on my NaNoWriMo novel continues at a snail's pace, as should be evidenced by my trotting out the tired cliche of "a snail's pace." Creativity does not abound. Contrary to my previous goal of posting one new chapter a week, it's closer to posting one new chapter every two or three weeks, and sadly I'm not all that much farther ahead than what I've been posting. I keep thinking of all the little plot bunnies that have found themselves a nice warren somewhere and begun propagating themselves. They have porn music playing in the background. Anyway, I retain hope that I'll finish the stupid, holey plot sometime in *throws dart at wall calendar* June.

That's about it for now. One hopes that my urbane wit (ha ha ha) will return shortly (ha ha ha multipled by 100) but we'll see. In the meantime, you can try to hunt up my "zombie queen" post. I'd be curious to hear if it actually does exist somewhere and if it other people can find it.
