HOW IS THANKSGIVING ONLY A WEEK AWAY?! Also it totally sucks that the week before Thanksgiving is the time when all the stores start blitzing you with CHRISTMAS SHOPPING ads and decorations and the like, since Thanksgiving is as early as it can possibly be and just ugh i am not ready for the false commercial cheer yet. I'M STILL MOURNING HALLOWEEN'S PASSING, DAMNIT.
I have been craving oysters on the half-shell for months now. I don't know why it started, but it's practically impossible to slake since the closest place that serves them (and that I would trust not to give me food poisoning) is kinda far away, and in a busy downtown area that has shitty parking. It is also on the expensive side, even for seafood, but I have a little extra cash to waste on something frivolous like an overpriced night out.
Speaking of nights out, my brother and sister took me out to dinner tonight to celebrate finishing my LNA licensing process (finally!) and I had the MOST AMAZING drink. It was a beer cocktail, which I have not tried because IDK, mixing beers and liquor sounds like it might be a bad idea? But this was just a chocolate stout mixed with a raspberry beer and sdlkfjasklenawofjkj IT WAS LIKE DRINKING A LIQUID CAKE. Well, okay, it wasn't as sickeningly sweet as it sounds, but that's a plus. The biggest reason I like beer is because there are like a bazillion flavored brews out there now, and they're not just glasses full of different corn syrup flavors, like most drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) these days. I like a little bite in my sweetness.
Thoughts on NaBloPoMo, having just passed the mid-way point:
GOOD:
-It's nice to look at the calendar and see all the days filled. (It would look even nicer if the calendar on this particular layout didn't get all wonky once the numbers hit double digits. Maybe I should mention this somewhere?)
-Good way to get a lot of unsorted thoughts out of the brain, haaha
-Remembered what's FUN about LJ/DW-style blogging after months of mostly tumblr'ing
BAD:
-Let's be real, some days there is just nothing to blog about. Then you're stuck making a post that you aren't really thrilled to do, and probably isn't much fun to read, either.
-If you're writing something you haven't really thought through, trying to make it coherent can take a lot of time. Which is fine, but it does take up a big chunk of my leisure time. OH WELL. There are worse things than having less time to flail about in video games. :P
GOALS FOR THE NEXT HALF OF THE MONTH:
Uh, to not miss a day and hopefully write interesting things?
