I have been trying to keep up with Mike and the JuST WriMo here but my lack of desk is killing me. I have been still able to keep up my word count. Yesterday I needed a day to re-coop though. It drives me crazy sometimes knowing what you want to write in your head but fear the actual starting where you left off. Usually to overcome that I leave off at a part where I know I can pick right back up. Sometimes mid sentence. That way I have an easier time getting started again the next day. It leaves me with time to think and inspiration to keep chugging along. There is usually less of a chance for writers block the next day as well. I just now need to figure out the desk/table situation. After moving across the country I am left with little to no money and desk-less. I am wondering if a Walmart has a little Tv dinner table or something like that for cheap. My poor SM9 is hiding under the bed right now wondering what is going on. Fortunately the height of the Selectrics keys are just right. But because of it the SM9 has seen less use lately. Its keys are lower and I feel after ten minutes of writing like my wrist is going to fall off. But either way I look at it is a painful process. Sitting on the floor for a prolong period of times does a number on your hips. I am young and can handle it but damn. I should probably get back to work. No more slackin and seeing if there are any blog updates. I have almost 25 pages to my left of this story and need to make that pile a little bigger. What do ya say

Houston's 20th annual Accordion Kings and Queens
Yesterday I went to the 20th annual Accordion kings and queens. It was pretty cool actually. It was an outdoor picnic while they played. There were some really good musicians that really could play the squeeze box. I am italian so I can remember my Nono (grandfather) playing all the time. It was amazing to see and hear all of these pro accordion players really rock out. I caught a quick video that came out half way decent. Unfortunately it's the end of one of the contestants playing. Some of the other videos weren't really worth putting up. But it gives you a good idea of what it was like. I brought my notebook and got some good writing done after we ate. It was quite the scene. Check it out. The Big Squeeze 2009

Typecast: Move to Houston
Sorry I don't have a scanner out here yet but I plan to get one in the near future.
Using my 10MP digital for now I guess
