Random thoughts. Just because the alternatives are: I update all the time or I make large updates. Updating all the time is sometimes a little frustrating, and making large updates requires a lot of time which I don’t have. So, until things get settled again… 🙂
– How cool is the fact that Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) and Jason Mewes (Jay) will be on Degrassi? If I lived in Toronto, I would definitely go see him on November 18th…
– J.K.Rowling is lending her support to a fund-raising effort benefiting those with Multiple Sclerosis. The Harry Potter author generously spent thousands of pounds to rent Powderham Castle where a charity black-tie masked ball will be held on Nov. 1st, 2004.
– I’ve been having fun working around the house for a while now. Hanging 4 bikes on the ceiling of a garage was something I’ve never done before and although tiring (balancing on a 6 foot ladder while screwing in large hooks) was quite satisfying when finished. There’s still that little period of adjustment that comes with walking into the garage and seeing what looks like a bike race, upside down, on the ceiling. 🙂 After having painted the garage floor a few weeks back, I think it’s safe to say we’re ready for winter parking now. And considering the amount of frost on the car in the morning, it’s just in time.
– I’ve sectioned off portions of the basement and have begun painting the basement floor recently. It’ll be nice to be able to walk around down there and not always be freezing, plus easier to keep tidy. (dust on cement is just not noticeable!). Filling cracks was easy and fun, and the actual painting is going really well. When Chantale saw what I was up to, she was a little discouraged thinking it would take months. I told her I could have it done within 5 days max but I’d try to have it done within 3. Unfortunately, due to a few time setbacks, it might end up being 5. However, that’s not a big deal at all. The important thing for me is to finish by October 31st so I can devote November to NaNoWriMo without worrying about anything else 🙂 And for that, I’m on track!
– November will be NaNo. No time to think about anything else (Reviews, Fast Fiction, or My Eyes Can See, probably included).
– In December I want to get going on plastering all the walls and getting two coats of Base White on them. As much as it would be nice to do the garage as well, I think I’ll save that for the summer and concentrate on the basement and stairway. Again, my goal is to have it all done by the 31st so we’ll have something “new” to show off when the family comes over for New Year’s Eve celebration 🙂
– That’s it for now. Maybe more later 🙂
