Yay! I have successfully ordered one of the NaNoWriMo mugs! I missed out on ordering one last year because I waited too long.   Now I'll have the cool mug to sip out of while I sit at the coffee house, trying to look cool and writerly while tapping out the words on my PalmOne foldable keyboard and my PDA.  

Heh.

For those Numb3rs Fans on my flist...

Anyone interested in joining me for this one? Looks to be very funny! And, okay, I know it's at the beginning of NaNo, but-but-but - it looks FUN!

"A hilarious and speedy take on Hollywood's highs and lows. I loved it! An instant classic! .... One of the greatest, sustained pieces of physical comedy I have ever seen. There are brilliant pieces of comic invention. Go see. Buy tickets now."  — BBC Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theater... The Reduced Shakespeare Company boldly goes where few would dare - Tinseltown! America's "bad boys of abridgement" take on America's largest export (well, except for weapons) and go about savaging show biz. They've gone Biblical, they've gone historical, now the RSC has gone completely Hollywood... abridged, of course!
