Still on track with NaNoWriMo, although I don’t think my story makes any sense whatsoever. But that’s a problem for revisions! 😀 My thoughts on Day 4.

- Have you opted out of Amazon’s print catalog yet?
- Flickr will have a 1000 photo limit for free users starting in 2019. If you’re over that, you should probably start looking for someplace to move your photos, before Flickr starts deleting photos on February 5, 2019.
- “The White House is spreading actual fake news to make the press look violent“. “White House spreads doctored video to justify temper tantrum against CNN reporter“. (Romantica – “Harder to Hear”: “It’s getting harder to hear the truth these days – there’s so much money in the way…”)

Chris- Love the Wild Rumpus bookstore- but why is there a chicken there?
A recent post from Lorraine..Is There an Igloo for Rent?
We will stop changing clocks next year. Wooot
A recent post from blodeuedd..Audio: Christmas on the Island – Jenny Colgan
Lorraine – That’s a feature of Wild Rumpus! Plus cats and a tarantula (it’s in a cage, fortunately).
Well, technically we still have to wait for the legislation to finalize the no more time change thing. But we’re one step closer! Yay!
I love the idea of Kingsley Shackelbolt as the Mauraders’ roommate at Hogwarts. Too funny.
And congrats on keeping up with NaNo! I’m far behind, but making progress on the “make a routine” aspect of it, which was my real goal for this year.
A recent post from Nicole..Today is Election Day in the United States. Please Vote!
Um. That’s weird. I totally did not have that “please vote” blog post as my most recent blog. Maybe I had a typo in my web address in the prior comment?
How dare you reduce your lapspace with that typewriter! (Love it, though!)
I hope Amazon wouldn’t be sending out toy catalogs to people who don’t buy toys. But since I just bought some games, I guess I’d better go update that option.
I’m pissed about Flickr since I recently spent a lot of time scanning old photos and uploading them there. What a lot of wasted time. At least they’re on my hard drive and backed up, so it’s no big deal to have them be deleted. My old blog posts won’t have photos, but c’est la vie. Ravelry’s the only thing I really care about, and Casey’s taking care of that. Of course he is.
If it makes you feel better, the proposition passage doesn’t actually give us Daylight Savings Time year-round. It just opens up an inquiry into forming an exploratory committee into pursuing petitioning the government to let us take steps toward setting permanent DST up…someday. Or something like that. If there’s no lawsuit. Which, with most of our propositions, there often is. (I love California, but I dread all the props each year and most of the time NO ONE can figure out what they mean as written in the ballot guide.)
im still really unclear about the appeal of chicken wings, let alone 200 of the suckers. There’s hardly any meat on them.
