I started reading Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk last night and finished it tonight. I almost feel like I should try to pick out something slower paced next.

I just finished Anathem by Neal Stephenson, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was the kind of thing I both have a hard time putting down, and don't want to be over when I'm done. I've stayed up a bit too late reading for a few nights so now I'm not as sleepy as I should be at this hour.

I've finished the last 6 little dancer paintings. Those are out of my head now so I can move on to a new larger piece. I might do another flood piece.

I am Sisyphus. This project will never end.

I was supposed to do 5 panels a year ago. I have now done 8, I have also done done some small revisions on one from before the project, and now I just have 3 more to go.

And now she's trying to bargain down my fees.

It will never end.

So lordkalkin and I have been together 11 years today.

I didn't want to cancel the game so we're going out to dinner tomorrow instead and going dancing if there is a goth thing this wed. I am also supposed to get chocolate at some point.

Yay relationship!

I've done ok on online x-mas sales and I know I've sold a number of things over at Magazine Metals but I'm late going to pick up my check.

lordkalkin picked up the fried turkey and I am about to make the oyster dressing.

In a few days, I'll make turkey gumbo which is my favorite consequence of Thanksgiving.

Halloween was fun. We carved some pumpkins and lordkalkin and I went down to the quarter. We people watched down Frenchman for a while and then went to the goth event at the "shmystal". They actually played a number of things that I liked including some Bauhaus. A couple of guys commented on my dancing. We got to see Damien right before we had to...
