National Novel Writing Month: 30 days of ignoring housework

While I'm plugging along for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo - see the button on the sidebar to see my progress) and trying to decide if blogging is best left to people much better organized and less lazy than I, you should enjoy this happy Hammock cookie.

Basically, Hammock is the best music to listen to while writing. Not distracting, not irritating, not repetitive nor boring. I'm also appreciating those qualities in Red Sparowes and Mumford & Sons, as well as the always reliable Damien Rice, City & Colour and Common Children (Delicate Fade and The Inbetween Time only... Writing to Skywire is like trying to listen to someone telling you a secret of great significance while you're standing beneath a busy overpass in a crowded city: not impossible but certainly not advised).

Enjoy your cookie. :-)

Happy, eh?

I'm in a bad, bad mood. Every time I turn my mind to blogging, I feel like bursting into tears. Whenever I begin an introspective train of thought, it leads to moroseness and depression.

In this case, since whining is unattractive and Lord knows I have enough strikes against me, here's what makes me happy:

• Snow.

Georgia is freakishly cold right now, but there is no snow. I shake my fist at the environment as a whole.

• New Music

• Diagramming

I once diagrammed a tongue twister. For fun.

I'm giddy to start diagramming with Elijah.

There may be something wrong with me.

Yes, I am aware of this.

• New Music

Did I mention that Bryan told everyone who asked to just get me iTunes cards for Christmas? Or that Amazon rewarded me for using a gift card (on music) by giving me credits for more music?

I got a lot of new music for Christmas.

I'm going to go listen to it now because that's safer than continuing to type in a box that will eventually make my words viewable by the public.

Fun fact: All three bands featured in today's post are Canadian. Sweet, eh?
