Two random things a post shall make

Random thing number one: Gotta love the forums over at NaNoWriMo. People mention the coolest links, like this one. (Warning: the site contains [biblical] Lego nudity, violence, sexual content, and cursing.)

Random thing number two: Okay, so I tried out the South Beach Diet about a year ago--lost weight on it and have kept it off. So I continue to get the little emails. The lastest one said, and I quote, "The South Beach Diet is not a fad. It's not even a diet!"

Okay, so this is the editor in me rising forth, but if the South Beach Diet is not a diet, change the stinking name.

Ahh--the smell of NaNoWriMo is in the air

It's a wonderful smell. The smell of nonsensical plots, egregious run-ons, write-ins (if you're lucky enough to find a group), blatant word padding, and sobbing into the wee hours of the morning as you curse the name of Chris Baty.

If you have no clue what I'm talking about or who Chris Baty is, head on over to NaNoWriMo.org. And if you have the vaguest interest in writing, sign up. Go on. I dare you. And so do Chris Baty and about 75,000 other WriMos.

And I'm having issues getting my participant icon into my sidebar. Until I do (and maybe even after), it'll remain in this post.
