I feel like I want something else to eat besdies my lean cuisne but can't think of anything I want. (probably a good sign I don't need anything.)
I need to shut up and get back to php'ing and documentation-writin' and other lovely things.

Literally, it means: that makes me shit. But it's great for saying that something sucks. "Mon boulot? Ça me fait chier." (My job? It sucks)

Paying to join a public library Tep? Sacre bleu! (But I'm spoiled with a good public library system, plus the two college libraries right in town.)
― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link
xp; yeah, you only have to pay if you aren't a resident. When I was a kid, we joined the Nashua Library (the town I live in now, but not then) because it was so much bigger that it was worthwhile. But that was $60 or so in 1980s dollars, so I guess the $100 for the smaller library now is cheaper, in constant $.

The show is Hipbilly Jamboree. You can stream it from there if you like. The sound is a bit whack, but I hope you can hear the joke where he claims to be Anna Nicole's baby daddy. I think it starts around 8:34 in.

I have an 8:30 mtg, at my place. that's far, far too early.

So you're a writer? How cool and interesting! I have a couple of published writer friends (Maryjanice Davidson and Emily Rapp), and I am so amazed by their careers. Actually, I'm even just amazed at the idea that - at least in MJ's case - she has to motivate herself to get her job done.

Motivation can be tricky. I'm currently working on an "easy 100,000 word novel" (that's standard length) as a break from my giant 250K-300K novel that I spent all last year working on, because spending that long on something without finishing was giving me a weird remix of cabin fever. It's exactly the kind of thing that would normally be a terrible idea -- usually that's how people wind up with eleven first chapters and no final chapters -- but I think in this case it's the way to go.
― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 14:21 (seventeen years ago) link
Tep - wow, a 250K novel?! I can barely motivate myself to read 10 pages to study for a quiz lately. Your motivation is impressive and terrifying!

i've had some articles and stuff published before but I'm aiming for a book, preferably fiction. Not an easy or short term task but I think it's doable before I die. Not like wanting to be a rock star or model or something.
