This is sad

Okay, I've become addicted to checking my friends page. "Has kebbo said anything? Why hasn't Neil Gaiman posted, is he sick again? He posts once or twice a day. I wonder what's up. And why haven't the two people I sent codes to posted anything in over two weeks?"

I'm a cyber-dork.

In the thrall of the myth

Oh, now, this is really brilliant. I couldn't have said it better myself. Bound to piss some people off, but, as they say, the truth hurts. Ignoring the truth hurts more.

James Howard Kunstler writes in Orion Online about Americans, obesity, depression, and the American Way of Life.

Perhaps my favorite statement in this piece: "Today's older Americans have spent their entire lives in a car-obsessed culture in which walking is seen as uncomfortable at least and at worst socially stigmatizing, something only winos do."

*Sigh*

Only 217 words today. Total wordcount: 2,920

Well, there's always tomorrow. I'm only 16,000 words down from where I would like to be right now. I can make it up, right? I just have to write 2700 words or so a day for the next 19 days....

As Scarlett O'Hara said (GWTW = 300,000-plus words): "tomorrow is another day."
