*Ahem*
50,527 muthafuckin' words with ten muthafuckin' days left in the month, muthafuckas!
Now, if only I were actually finished with the thing...

Yeah, Right? Wait, Really?
Disbelief: A Play in One Act
(Interior: Jon, a not-quite lovable loser, sits at his desk in his cubicle, eyes fixed on his computer screen. On the screen is an e-mail from Facilities stating that cell phone repeaters for all providers have been installed, thus resolving the poor reception issues that have plagued the employees since they made the move to the new building.)
Jon (speaking): Yeah, right.
(Looks at his cell phone, sees that he has full bars.)
Jon (speaking): I'll be damned.
(Exeunt)

Something To Read
Normally I wouldn't be writing tonight - or posting a blog entry - as it's Riff Trax night, but Scott is sick, so my evening got freed up. I decided to take a break from writing anyway to kind of recharge the batteries - I'm up to over 45,000 words - and I thought that, since I don't really want to share any more chapters of Blood Drift until I'm actually finished writing it, I'd post this story, set in the world of Blood Drift, and featuring its main character, Fontaine.
I don't remember when I wrote it - I'm going to guess 2004 - but it serves as a pretty good introduction to Fontaine and her world, and features some characters and elements who appear in Blood Drift.
In any case, it's here to be read, if you're interested. If you like it, let me know. If you don't, keep it to yourself.

Taking A Break From Writing...To Do Some Writing
Blog? Bbbbbblllllllloooooogggggg. Hmmm....nope, I don't have one of those.
Oh, wait, yes I do.
I managed to get past 38,000 words in my novel last night, and the goal was to get to 40,000 by the end of the weekend, so it's looking like I'm in pretty good shape, so I thought I'd check in here, take a look around, and see how things are going.
*Crickets*
Yep, just how I left it.
Not much going on in my life besides work, sleep, and noveling. I'll be humble; I've pretty much been kicking ass on the novel-writing as far as the word count goes, at least. Ah, the advantages of not having a life.
Work has been, as it has a tendency to be, work. Nothing especially new or exciting going on there.
The problems that Munin had with Windows 7, I learned, were due to chipset drivers. Microsoft has since issued a hotfix for it, and that seems to have done the trick, at least as far as the USB external drive issue goes. I haven't tried using the wireless adapter to see if that problem was fixed, as I kind of like having the higher speeds of the powerline adapter.
Still, I would like to hook up the Blu-ray player and my media extender to the network via a powerline adapter, and so far I haven't found a place that sells individual adapters, just the two adapter sets, so I may end up going back to wireless on Munin.
We'll see.
And that's pretty much it.
Today is, of course, laundry day, and I do have to engage in some amount of writing to hit my word count target, so I guess I'll get back to it.
