I got a nod from Andrew Jones’ blog, so I figured I’d better put up a new post.
Hi. How are you?
We have a new President-elect, or President-Elect, but not a new President elect.
I’m still really sick and will take any offers for homemade chicken soup and back massages. OK, maybe not *ANY* offers for back massages. That could get kind of creepy.
I was going to do NaNoWriMo this year, but then was sick in the bed the first two days of the month, and then we had this little election, which kind of took over my life for a couple of days, and then I got sick again, and then I thought, “Who am I kidding? Screw it.” So I’m not doing NaNoWriMo, but I’ve got a really great novel idea. And no, I’m not sharing.
So then I thought, well, if I can’t work on a novel every day, maybe I could just BLOG every day. Clearly, I have great intentions.
And can I just say: PUMPKIN HUMMUS! (thanks bethy!)
I’ve been keeping this article open in a browser tab to share with all of you (however many of you are left).
I’ll leave you with this excerpt:
The actual real America is everywhere. It is the America that has been in shell shock since the aftermath of 9/11, when our government wielded a brutal attack by terrorists as a club to ratchet up our fears, betray our deepest constitutional values and turn Americans against one another in the name of “patriotism.†What we started to remember the morning after Election Day was what we had forgotten over the past eight years, as our abusive relationship with the Bush administration and its press enablers dragged on: That’s not who we are.
