Last night I forgot to eat and forgot that I was meant to be doing the projector this morning. Also when I was out shopping I displayed a tendancy to walk confidently across the road without actually checking if there were any cars coming. Hence I am going to die of starvation, being run over and kidney stones (from not drinking enough). Also I am going to let a lot of people down in the presumably short time between now and when I will die through my own incompetance at the general buisiness of living.

Meanwhile, I've started describing about ten people in exhaustive detail, done three and got bored, so NaNo is going a bit slowly atm. Bah, I'll deal with the last five in two short paragraphs and get on with the story, which is sounding more and more like a connection of dissassociated character sketches, which is really unfair because I *lost* all my character sketches. Nevermind.

Only 860 words today, but it doesn't matter because I'm well ahead anyway, and Sunday is a day of rest, right? And I've just about tied up the whole Earth thing (for this first-draft version, which is all that's probably getting written of this awful space-opera) now, so I can go on to actually starting the plot I had in mind originally, 8,000 words off the starting blocks.

All the songs quoted on storyness are ones that were in my head at the time of posting (as is this one quoted here) - I can't listen to music and write at the same time. (Which is strange, because I can listen to a Physics lesson and write at the same time quite adequately.)

I have done other stuff today, though, like church, where I was doing the projector-thingamy. The notices, the songs *and* a presentation in the sermon. I only got three things wrong, though, and those were only little blips that hardly anyone noticed, so it wasn't too bad. And driving, which I'm still fairly bad at, although I guess I was improving. I'm now busy failing to go to 8-10s through being tired and headachy and generally squished, and am going to go watch bad comedy shows in a minute. I also had a battle with the Kinder Egg Internet Surprises site, and lost. Badly. Even their website is a purveyor of Kinder Disappointments! (We had three eggs and I only got one cool plastic toy - the other two were those little jigsaw puzzle things ,although actually they did turn out to be pleasingly surreal. And the plastic toy is worth it - a sieve and a saucepan with a little black thing with nervous eyes peering out between them, holding a straining spoon in one hand...
