Bleargh
My PT/INR is back up again, at 3.9, which might explain why I feel so craptastic. Luckily SyFy ran a Dr. Who marathon today, which my DVR thoughtfully recorded for me, which should make me feel a bit better. I've got one of those chills where you're cold and sweaty at the same time, which seems to defy the laws of nature, but still occur.
Cullen is off camping so I expect his group will be slaughtered by either a mysterious creature or a maniac with a complicated family history. Isn't that what happens every time a group of college kids go camping?

Paper Town!
Did you read John Green's fantastic book Paper Towns when I told you too? If so you'll love this story. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/6474746/Mystery-of-Argleton-the-Google-town-that-only-exists-online.html
Obviously the town was put there by Nerd Fighters.
Cam's theory is that CADIE, Google's AI that achieved consciousness on 4/1/2009 put it there. Maybe she lives there!

Not off to such a great start
Day two of NaNoWriMo and I've got fewer words than I had on day one last year. 2008 I had three thousand plus words the first day, which was nice. This year I have 2700 on the second, making me about a thousand words behind. Tomorrow I'm meeting with my lender and then taking Cam to the doctor so I'll be lucky if I write anything. I think maybe a trip to the laundromat is also in order, although I've no idea how to squeeze it in.
I did find this awesome poster today, which is a reproduction of the same one that sparked my interest in the Pony Express when I was a very young girl.

I've always been intrigued by the fact that they wanted kids under 18. Today I do believe you'd have to be OVER 18.

How Did You Spend the Day?
I had trouble sleeping last night and was up until nine this morning. Then I slept on and off until three, at which time I started watching the V marathon, which I had DVRed from the SyFy channel and wrote a few hundred words for NaNoWriMo.
This year I'm writing about a reality show. I've got only the most vague idea of plot, characters or anything else. But that's kind of the fun of NaNoWriMo, right? I never know where I am when I start or where I'll go and I always end up somewhere interesting.
