still in it to win it
It's day TWO and I’m already cranky about NaBloPoMo. I’m wanting to write a letter to the editor explaining myself. Instead I will just say this: internet connectivity failure = complete excuse for not posting.
I live in a charming little neighborborhood. Which I like a lot. And the people? Super nice.
However, the infrastructure is, well, OLD. And sometimes doesn’t work – power outages are annoyingly common, and I always know they happened, even if I wasn’t home, because I have to redo ALL the settings on my irrigation system, reset the timer on my front light, reset the oven clock, reset the microwave clock, reset the Bose CD player/clock radio, and about 9 million other stupid devices.
Yeeesh. And now, to add to the annoyance, when the power goes out (and therefore my router and cable modem are No Workez Pas for some period of time even after the power comes back on), I cannot fulfill my broadly announced commitment to post every damn day. Especially when I am already in my pajamas and NOT going to be driving around with laptop looking for somebody's unsecured WiFi to heist.
OK, so there it is. I am back-dating this post to last night, when I TRIED to get online to post but could not, and hereby declaring that I am STILL IN the NaBloPoMo running.
Haruphm.

lolol! okay--a back-dated post about how you couldn't post will count *this* time... ;>
it's the whole charm vs. efficiency debate, isn't it. still hoping to find both when i get back to the US.
Works for me! I'd say you're still in the game.
Is there a prize for completing? If so, then I say you are OUT to make my chances better (hehe...teasing). I have no authority what so ever but will grant you absolution with my little wand.
no, of course there is no prize. I'm just freakishly competitive and hate to sign up for stuff that I don't complete. :-)
