I suck . . . it's all I can say . . .

I admit it is more difficult to keep up with this than I originally believed given what I have on my plate this month. In any event, I continue to bust ass on NaNoWriMo while NaBlo has gone to the dogs. I won't be pissy about it, there is plenty over which to fret besides the Jar at this point. Working on post election articles. My daughter advises the lack of sophistication at her high school over the election is becoming less than tolerable. No need to go there, but apparently a few believe the fact that O has been elected qualifies them to jump places in the lunch line, while others are overtly hostile towards the PrezElect. My niece reports similar behavior at her high school in a state far, far away. Here's hoping things improve - and quickly. I wonder what these kids are hearing from their parents.

Have a wonderful evening. ciao!

Sunday of the Time Change . . .

I accomplished good things today. It's going to be a busy week. Not pleased about a little rubbish published in the Daily Oklahoma today. The "newspaper" WAS voted the worst rag in America several years ago by the Columbia School of Journalism. The Oklahoman's biased bent is commonly accepted in this state; however, that knowledge did nothing to diminish my anger today when a reporter got on my father's ass. So there you have it! Daily Oklahoman, you're a rag. Next time you want to get on my dad's ass, spell his name correctly! Everyone noticed it. What a sad commentary as to RJ's astute reporting skills; however, par it happened to be. More on the particular family drama that made the news later. I love Twitter. Everyone's talking about Twitter . . . . I know, I know. But if you haven't tried it, you must. There are some fantastic people in this world just waiting to be met. I am shocked at how much I have in common with so many. And happily, I tell you that many are Chi lovers who tweet. ; ) I will be updating the Jar tomorrow by adding Twitter friends to my blogroll! Carlos Lorenzo is one "twiend" and his site is BarcelonaPhotoBlog, already added to the roll. His photos are fantastic, they make me happy and he's a good writer. We can all use extra happy these days, so go visit Carlos' photoblog! Since we are choosing a new president this week, I am linking this video from MachoSauceProduction on YouTube and I am BEGGING all of you to view it. http//:www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvc0tYG_YpA This guy is spectacular, has a handle on the issues and is one of the most articulate commentators this election season I've yet to see. Some of you will love it, some will hate it - but the kid shoots straight and that was quite refreshing today!

My eyes are heavy because it's "really" midnight . . . Have a wonderful evening.

Happy NaNoWriMo!!

. . . and Happy All Saints' Day to those of you who celebrate the day!

Good luck to all of you who began writing today! I am excited about what I hope to accomplish this year during National Novel Writers Month! Visit http://www.nanowrimo.org for more information! You can keep track of how I'm dealing with it here at the Jar.

It's a good day and the weather is warm. Over 80 degrees . . . unseasonably cool for this time of year, but pleasant if you don't allow the global warming doomsdayers to get to you. While I think we may not have taken as good of care of the planet as we should have, I hardly think we have the ability to bring about her demise. How arrogant we are. If global warming is the catastrophe brought about by man as we are being told, then why aren't the ice plates still here and where is the wooly mammoth? What fresh hell did the ancient humans bring about with their little tools, their spears and their cave paintings? And if it bothers you to date the earth so, then blame Eve (or the weakness of Adam).

If we can kill her then the design is flawed. I do not believe the design is flawed.
