Full November

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

November is looking to be a pretty full month for me!

I’ll be receiving news that I’m waiting for, more on that when I know, I’ll be attending the Canon Wild Roadshow and the Lenovo Picnic. Of course, there will also be OC in Nov which I’ll be attending. And last but most definately not least, NaNoWriMo begins this Sunday!

I’m super amped for Nano now that I have a general plot…I’ve also recruited a few people to participate with me, which will be great for moral and encouragement! Among the few are EvilBelgian and PixieDust.

My loaches are starting to be less timid, and I can watch them as I sit here and type at the office. They’re so interesting and quite often I get rather distracted and watch them for ages. I’ve tried taking photos of them, but they’re still too shy for that.

A while back I might have mentioned something about my car being reversed into. Well, after months of waiting for the sheriff to deliver the papers to the defendant, they finally got some results back to me. Apparently, this guy is still a momma’s boy, lives at home and has no attachable assets. In layman’s terms, they cant reposess anything from him to pay for the damages he inflicted on my car. Needless to say I’m not happy with this verdict and will keep fighting it.

I’m also going to start learning the harmonica soon! Going to ye ol’ harmonica shop this week to check out some behbehs! How exciting!

Well that’s about all I can update on at this point. Have a great week! I’m craving sushi, so hopefully will be doing that sometime soon again!
