Still fighting my way through the following:

• iBook hard drive crash (it's still making that noise, though I thought I could cordon off the bad blocks)
• subsequent email loss (tried to mail me in the last month? try again, please?)
• final sprint to the end of a work project
• My girlfriend's moving in with me!
• It's my birthday and her birthday (Oct 24th), and our dating anniversary (Oct 27th) (strange alignment, that)

But, the work project's almost done. Going on a vacation this week to celebrate the birthdays and anniversary. And I'm not sure yet what to do with the iBook. But! I plan on torturing myself into prodigious amounts of writing again by having a go at NaNoWriMo.
