So, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year, otherwise known as National Novel Writing Month. The idea is to try and write a novel (50,000 words) in one month. The idea isn't to write anything good per se, just that you're writing.

If anyone else is participating, be my writing buddy!

I don't know of I'll get that many words out in a month, but I'm giving it a shot

Snow storms make me feel grateful I live in a beautiful, warm and cozy house. Really, how lucky could I be to watch the inches of ice accumulate from my window while I sit inside with a hot meal and a blanket, and my family around me?

I feel strangely good right now, and have the past few days. The funny part is I haven't been taking my happy pills. This is 100%, pure homegrown contentment.


Autumn is my favorite time of year, that could have something to do...

I'm home now, I came home Friday night via Greyhound. Or, should I say AUTOBUSES AMERICANOS! Since that's what they put me on.

There were some issues on this 2 week trip in which I saw the grand American Southwest. I've seen it a million times before, but I went some new places and it's as peaceful and beautiful as it always is.

I genuinely enjoyed myself. I thought I needed some deep contemplation time, but I didn't this time. Just being out and experiencing things...

You're sitting on the couch together, nursing a nasty hang-over, when you casually mention how you're craving ice cream. 2 hours later when she gets back from the store, she hands you a cup of chocolate ice cream from Stone Cold Creamery.


Love her <3

Trip is still going good, by the way. Well, aside from the hang over. Remind me to stay away from Sangria.

So, it's kind of a hassle to keep uploading pictures. I figured I'd just link to my Flickr.

Although, I reached my monthly limit last night. Crap. But, they'll probably be on Myspace. Feel free to add me, too

Not only am I going to New Mexico again, I'm leaving sometime today.

Totally random and the details aren't important, but she called me and offered to come pick me up TODAY. I did a little thinking and decided "what the hell". I'm going. So in about 6 hours, I'll be on the road.

We are the masters of last minute travel.

Me: Is there anything in particular I should bring?
Her: Your game face.

Sigh, my bff. How I've missed...

An earlier mention of Pocahontas got me to thinking about films that feature Native Americans/First Nations. Mainstream successes usually screw something up, it seems. Whether its an animated account of some shit that never happened, or old westerns that feature "Italians with crusty hair bangs" as my Seminole friend puts it.

So here, I give you films that do it right. They're all quite good, so watch them just for that reason alone.
