Bits & bobs

NaNoWriMo is coming up again (National Novel Writing Month, which is November, and the org is about actually writing an entire short novel in a month)…and again, I’m going to try to actually do it, lol. This is my third year trying, this is their seventh year doing it, and 3 and 7 are both “lucky” numbers for me. So maybe this will be the year I finally finish it…

Watched The Girls Next Door last night, and it was the episode about the Midsummer Night’s party and the makeover of Bridget’s sister. Cute makeover, but the really cool things were the costumes Holly and Bridget wore! Holly’s costume was this funky silver thing–it was gorgeous. Bridget’s was this Medusa-like creation, with silver snakes in her hair, a cool silver snake necklace, really cool shoes, etc. I really need to start trying to recreate funky costumes like that…I *say* I want to do fun costuming, but I’ve yet to really dive into actually *making* any. Must try to find pictures from that episode and see if I can maybe recreate one. (And no, I’m not going to try to recreate Kendra’s costume, LOL!!!)

I have also discovered the joy of podcasts. Yeah, yeah, a little late…well, actually I’ve downloaded some many times but never had time to listen to them. But I discovered yesterday that listening to Ron Moore do a commentary on a Battlestar Galactica episode is a WONDERFUL way to pass the hour & a half that it takes me to get to work in the morning. And it keeps my mind off the fact that I’m going to work at 6 am. Aaaah…thanks, Ron (and I’ve got several of his podcasts to catch up on–hurrah!)! When I’m done with those, NaNoWriMo now has podcasts…wheee! ;-)
