Well, with a helpful kick in the butt from my little sister I managed to finish my second nano, The Devil's Own, previously The Lies of Interesting People, previouslier still The Lives of Interesting People. It's an action adventure novel that revolves around a few different storylines. One involves two robots who play pranks on the misguided robot who killed them. Another revolves around a world where guilds to battle for legendary pieces of armour and glory. Another still is about a bunch of elite operatives who storm a base looking for a treasure that they never get because that storyline was kind of bunk and I just killed everyone off in it. Anyways... haza!

iSteal

I've taken the bus the bus enough times to know that every fifth twelve to fourty year old that you run into will have some sort of music playing device on them that also has some way of taking notes or messages and that's when I came up with the iSteal. I'm pretty sure the concept is illegal but what it is is an mp3 player that has absolutely no music on it - what it does is lift music from people around you. The player will obviously have a size limit but it takes a few songs from each playlist you get into a certain distance from and removes the oldest songs on the list so you have fresh new music all the time! Yeah!

So, I just told my sister about this idea and she said it was invasive. I said shut up. Then thought it over again. Still doing it. But now I'm a badass pirate.

Funny Things My Family Say - Volume Three

During a discussion of Aristotle's Poetics

Me: What's the fourth one?
Gretchen: Hubris.
Me: Cool. They said that in 300.
Gretchen: Yeah, they would.
Me: I was like "Nobody knows what that means. Only I do"
See what I did there.
That was unintentional at first but then I realized.
Gretchen: That negates the coolness level - you saying that.
Me: I didn't want to be cool.
Now, it's cool again.
