And we're off

I got NaNoWriMo off to a good start. Stayed up too late the night before, finishing up my whiskey and reading a trashy novel. (That's not as bad as it sounds, there was only about an ounce of whiskey left in the bottle. Didn't finish the novel, though.) I couldn't get to sleep and I set my alarm to start early on my work, but didn't quite manage to. I got up earlier than usual, but fiddled around paying bills and such, so I didn't get started till late. Moped around all sleepy and translated a blurry! tiny print! patent for cleansing wipes. Went to swim and got all tired out. I didn't eat enough today and by the time Oz came home, I was sleepy, my muscles were all jelly, and I had a blinding headache. We went out for beer and pizza.

I wrote 1702 words.

Or, rather, I dictated 1702 words. In the morning, as is my wont, I shall clean up the file, after which it will be a few words longer. And then I'll work, run errands, and write some more.

This is really random, but I wanted to reply on an earlier post of June 26, 2005.
I just passed it by really accidentally, and I thought it was an interesting post. So I rushed thru google for about 5 or 10 minutes, and here is what I found:
Milam is a distraction of Mileham which is a habitant of Myln Norfolk. Now Norfolk is where it all ends up. According to the encyclopedia, Norfolk is one of the first English, even European settlements. (1565, first collony is Spanish) Now as we could see on the first site I refered you to, the Milams are a Brittis/American patriotical family which explains the expression on the Photo: "For Pure Blood"
Well, the poll appears even more interresting than I first thought.
For me its pretty late here, to me, everything I wrote makes sence, if it doesnt to you, let me know...

I went ahead and posted your comment to the original entry and responded to it there. (I should probably set up some kind of comment spam abatement system so I can leave comments open on older entries.)
