Well, I\u2019ve had a week of snow, ice, and wind. I guess it was bound to hap\u00adpen. Pic\u00adtures like this make it look nice, but really\u2026it\u2019s not. The only good thing about cold weath\u00ader? Com\u00adfort food! Like\u2026chocolate.<\/p>\n

Work in Progress News ~<\/strong><\/span> I\u2019ve done some writ\u00ading in the bad girl sto\u00adry. I actu\u00adal\u00adly found a name for my hero, so thanks for the hun\u00addreds of thou\u00adsands of respons\u00ades on last week\u2019s sta\u00adtus with sug\u00adges\u00adtions, I just went ahead and picked my own name: Andre. I hope no one gets the men\u00adtal pic\u00adture of a sea lion. I also have a ten\u00adta\u00adtive title, since Andre is my hero\u00adine\u2019s limo dri\u00adver, I thought\u00c2 Take the Wheel<\/strong> sound\u00aded pret\u00adty good. We\u2019ll see if it still fits when I finish.<\/p>\n

Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/span> <\/strong>Some\u00adone local tweet\u00aded that Don Williams will be play\u00ading two shows in Wyoming, and while I\u2019d love to see him live, the weath\u00ader is nev\u00ader trust\u00adwor\u00adthy to actu\u00adal\u00adly sched\u00adule a trip any\u00adwhere between Sep\u00adtem\u00adber and May. But it did remind me how much I love his voice, so I give you Don Williams, cir\u00adca 1977:
\n<\/object>
\nNotice this is a live per\u00adfor\u00admance, and the guy sounds just like he does on his records.<\/p>\n

Also notice the muttonchops.<\/p>\n

Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/strong> <\/span>Novem\u00adber is Nation\u00adal Nov\u00adel Writ\u00ading Month, or NaNoW\u00adriMo<\/a>. The month where many authors pledge to write a 50K<\/span> word nov\u00adel in 30 days. I tried this once, I was\u00adn\u2019t suc\u00adcess\u00adful and I end\u00aded up writ\u00ading just to be writ\u00ading. I guess I\u2019m just not good with struc\u00adture, but you\u2019ll be hear\u00ading lots of NANO<\/span> talk around the web.<\/p>\n

This week I\u2019m adding a new fea\u00adture, since I spend [too much] time on Twit\u00adter, I find some real\u00adly great one lin\u00aders. I won\u2019t post polit\u00adi\u00adcal ones, though some\u00adtimes those are real\u00adly the best, and I\u2019ll try to keep them PG-13<\/span>. Ish. So I give you, my inau\u00adgur\u00adal Tweet of the Week~<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If women came with instruc\u00adtions, most men would still be too daz\u00adzled by the pack\u00adag\u00ading to read the warn\u00ading label.<\/p>\n
