Don't Even MENTION Nano...

Alright, I'll admit it: I haven't worked on my novel in over a week! I only have about 8000 words right now. I think I'm going to give up. I don't even find my story interesting anymore, which is a real problem.

In other news, I've migrated to Blogger beta, and with that comes another interface change. I've put up my (updated) game list for all to see, whether it be geeky or not. Dreams have been off the radar, but I have been sick a lot lately. I stayed home from school three times already this month, which is about what I average per year. My parents had me take a blood test last Friday to see if it might be diabetes (I had/have persistant fatigue and thirst). I haven't heard back yet, so let's hope no news is good news. :)

Finally, my dad had mentioned to me a couple days ago that he used to have a Commodore 64 and has kept it in the closet. I dug it out yesterday, but I know some parts are missing. I can't connect it to our new TV either, it seems. But I've heard that, for those who can't stand the thought of soldering, that Radio Shack might be the answer. Wish me luck with that, and drop me a line if you know anything about commodores.

Edit: Two little things. First, with the beta comes label technology, so you can zone in on certain categories. It doesn't do much now, with so few posts, but... Also, I just realized that I have this odd tendency to stick elipses into my post titles. :P

The woes of NaNoWriMo...

Well, it's Nov. 4th and so far I still have my sanity... but that may or may not change. Really, I'm surprised that I have the time to post here. I'm at around 4600 words right now, and I was supposed to be at 5000 words by the end of yesterday. Oh well. I didn't exactly have much of a social life before, so...

In any case, I've been too lazy to upload the thing in its entirety yet, but I posted two short excerpts on my NaNoWriMo profile. That's my link of the day.

There's one final thing I want to share. It's kind of sad, actually, but since I love crunching numbers I have percentages complete for all my favorite video games. If anyone cares, heres the list:

Kingdom Hearts - 7%
Dark Cloud 2 - 9%
Okami - 25%
Final Fantasy 7 - 5%
Morrowind - 3%
Oblivion - 5%
Neverwinter Nights - 2%
Doukutsu - 95% (Just can't beat the secret level...)
Zelda: Wind Waker - 15%
The Sims 2 - N/A
Warcraft 3 - 25%
FATE - N/A

Time is tight, so farewell and good luck to all fellow Nanoers... Oh, and if anyone actually reads this, please let me know.
