Emerald Drama, Nanowrimo, and More!

Well, after a week of absolute hellish misunderstandings and drama on WoW, I can finally see the sun breaking through the clouds and am feeling a good bit better.

Final Fantasy XII came out this week. It looks awesome. That and Okami might just be what it takes to pull me away from my PC and actually buy a PS2. I need a clothes dryer a bit worse, though, and I must insist on waiting until the end of the month to do it, or I’ll never manage to do anything for Nanowrimo.

I tried to do the Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) challenge last year, but found out about it when the month was already almost over, so I didn’t finish my story in time…I’m at about 1250 words on this year’s attempt. Harpalyce is attempting it as well, so I’ve challenged her to a word war in the hopes that the competition will spur the creative juices for both of us. Here’s our status so far (though she hasn’t updated her wordcount yet). I am Meadhbh, she is PlaidButterfly.

I’ll be keeping this on my sidebar so we can keep up with how we’re doing!

Also…in an odd sort of thing that stuck in my head…I walked into the bathroom this morning to find my oldest cat, Pippin, using the toilet. I wonder where he learned to do this…and if I can teach him to flush.
