If you need me for the next two months, this is where I’ll be.

I woke up from a dream that I needed spleen surgery, and the panic I felt throughout the dream was so visceral. I went through, like, several days worth of waiting for surgery day and work up just when I felt like I couldn’t go through with it. Didn’t even know why I needed spleen surgery.

This means today I have to crank out a few thousand words! Luckily I’m getting to the part of the story that feels easier to write.

Grammar question:

Would the ‘s’ in ‘somebody’ be capitalized here or no?

“Already?” somebody said.
“Already?” Somebody said.

Oh yeah that’s uncalled for

If anyone in New England wants to hire a pianist for any holiday parties this year, let me know!!

Day 6 (11/6):

2,049 words

Sticking to my writing goal of 1,800 words a day is actually much harder than I thought it would be.

Soundboard audio of Bob Dylan’s band on the Outlaw tour are in circulation. My goodness, is it good.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. We're is a smokey jazzy vibe nightclub place. Odo, wearing a tuxedo, sits at a piano. He's looking up and smiling, which is strange because he's usually a gloomy gus. Also, he's doing jazz fingers! And it's neat because the piano is also reflecting his hands, so you see 2 additional hands mirroring his actual hands! Which, if you think about it is even weirder because he's a changeling, so he doesn't *really* even have hands, just blobs of goo, so actually all 4 hands you see (reminder 2 of which are "real" and 2 of which are reflected) are actually all kind of an elaborate alien illusion. Wild, man. Wild. Closed caption reads, "Cool!"

Scott Bakula Still Has Hope for Captain Archer's 'Star Trek' Return

Yes! Enterprise is such an underrated show. It could have been better if the showrunners got their way in S1, but Archer and Trip are some of my favorite characters.

I have someone like that, too. I’ll do the same.

someone who still doesn't know the meaning of the word "no" (Andrew Cuomo, failed sleaze ball politician)

And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his cover's blown

I’ll admit I don’t know either of them, just saw the pun and had to say it haha. I’m in NE, but a win for democrats everywhere right now is surely needed

I started writing a sci fi book for NaNoWriMo* and I’m already bored of sci fi after 4 days.

*I know it’s not a thing anymore but I want to do it.

Guess ya Winsome and ya lose some.

potato to a batch of mashed potatoes or something. Check the individual potatoes before leaving the store and you should be good!

I don’t know if they turn green in that short time frame. They’re usually green by the time they reach the store.

The green is solanine, which can form when the tuber (the potato) grows exposed to too much sun. In large amounts I think it’s poisonous, but I think it’s fine to add, like, one green

Thank you!! I haven’t mixed it yet so those are valuable tips. It’s actually a melodica, I’m glad it sounds like a harp haha.

The new Greensky album is very good stuff.
