It's been an interesting week or so. NaNo has been chugging along, with me being very slow after getting the daily quota on day one (I started at midnight, November 1st, as is my custom) but catching up to the quota yesterday after writing all day. Movember is moving along too, and it's neat to know that the bailiffs at the court house are doing it too so I won't feel as goofy when I appear in court. Or, well, no more goofier than normal. :D

LOTRO has been ok, I suppose, as I put in more effort over the weekend at it and made some headway with new gear and such. Oh, and even though our kin did it before when I wasn't around, I managed to take part in a successful completion of the new raid which... mreh. Really not impressed with it, it's actually very long and pretty boring, at least for my class. Maybe for others it's better, I don't know, but it was a little disappointing. Lots of loot though, which was nice, I think there's like four chests in there, plus some new crafting items needed to make a kick-ass cloak that everyone wants. It's alright, I guess, but it's not the same lately.

I've been keeping up with the reading too, finishing Rise of the Governor yesterday afternoon which was pretty good. And musicwise I'm still really, really digging Foster The People and their debut album, it's become somewhat of a daily ritual for me, to listen to it at least once, usually several times. Between that and getting hooked to the new Rihanna single (I heard it through a YouTube clip and it stuck) I'm wondering how I've managed to expand my musical horizons into more techno-y/electronic frontiers, but I guess I started leaning that way awhile back when I think about it.

I've discovered one major obstacle to extended NaNo sessions - my lower back seizes up if I don't have the exact chair. :( Which is why I was under quota yesterday, I was sitting on a wooden chair and couldn't get enough lower back support!

Any way, kudos for you. And go update your word count on the site! ;)

So funny you should say that, as my lower back was really hurting me last night after writing all day. :/ I think part of that is the heated seats in my car though - for some reason when I use that my back gets tender or hurts, I don't know why because it's so nice and comfy when it's on.

Thank you! :D It's updated now, I was up-to-date yesterday but am behind again today. No worries though, will chop away at the ol' word count some more tonight!
