Complex Numbers

November's End

Having finished NaNo early, I got to hang out without responsibility this weekend. No newsletters to do, no work expected of me... I got some filing done. And what do you call it when you go through old files and shred documents you know you won't need anymore? I call it defiling. I did that. I have a lot more to do. I'm not very organized.

Well, there was one commitment hanging over me for November, which was to submit one story for publication. This I did... tonight, of course, with mere hours to spare before the end of November

I don't remember if I said this, but the last submission got rejected. Oh well.

SO to end the month, I'd like to compare and contrast two links I found today. The first comes from my favorite snark site, Cracked.com, though I found it in Elisa: Middle Aged Stik 's journal. The author is the same guy who came up with the Monkeysphere concept, which longtime readers might remember. If not, click on the guy's name at the top of the article and look for Monkeysphere on his list of stuff he wrote.

The second article, something of a counterpoint to the first, comes courtesy of Fark.com, and is a Cracked-like "Ten" list - only without the pictures or the gratuitous shots of boobies. It's still an interesting read.

Now go away and leave me alone.
