short break

gategrrlI took a short break from the computer -- it was like turning on a quicksand blender and not being able to come out, so I didn't get on it for a couple of days, and it was *nice*. I got to read "Pet Sematary" by Stephen King. Old concepts, newish remix, tons of cliche, but sometimes that's the kind of book-snacking that's nice to read up on.
I wrote a bunch on my NaNo project a couple of days ago on my PDA or desktop, and then when I went to Update the link between the two, over 4000 words ended up being wiped out of existence. I was back to 21600 words! AUGH! So I've decided I'm going to solely write the NaNo on my PDA and only update on the computer AFTER I've made a back-up file on the 1-gig chip on the PDA FIRST. ::headdesk:: I am currently back up to 23050 words. Not too bad after being shell-shocked with the loss of wordage. It does mean I'm behind, though. Today is the seventeenth, and that means I *should* be up to 28339 words by now. That's about 5200 words behind. *sighs*
Let's see....and I also, to my utter perplexity, subscribed for six months to http://www.clubscrap.com.
This crafty stuff is a complete money suck. I was just at the local Michael's today and picked up a bracelet thing that had space for five tiny itty bitty photographs on it (miniframes) - and some sparkly svorsky crystal bead things - both of which I had no clear idea wtf I wanted to do with them; just that it seems a good idea at the time. Then time grew short, had to go pick up Little Guy, and ditched to the two tiny packages on a shelf somewhere (bad me, I know, should've reshelved). But there's so much neat STUFF out there now! It's amazing!
