One of those days, following one of those weeks (so far, at least).

So far this week, I've not gone to a NaNoWriMo meet because I was going to fencing instead (at which I stood around trying not to go hide in a corner for no clear reason, and did a bit of coaching and reffing instead of, you know, actually fencing). Also, I haven't done the development kit upgrade I was supposed to do because I got caught up in a language reference manual I'm reading instead, which is going to be inconvenient in the meeting tomorrow. I think a working knowledge of SDL (the language in question) is potentially very useful in our future work, but I wish I'd learned it six months ago or so.

What with that and picking up the teaching load for an injured colleague, its been ... busy. I've not written word one for NaNoWriMo in the last three days and, although I've beaten my somewhat ignominious 13000 score in 2006, I don't see a lot more getting written. Which is a pity: I like the plot, and the characters, but...

I should be LARPing for a day at Brighton Below, this weekend, though, which will be a nice break, if nothing else goes wrong and I manage to get the makeup and costume sorted in time. Maybe I can just wander off into the Below. Yeah, that would be nice.

If this is really all life is, I want my money back.
