I'm a winner!

Hurray! With a full 21 hours to spare, I uploaded my file to the word counting robots at the National Novel Writing Month site, and it approved, saying that I had 50,267 words. Thus, I am now a two-time NaNoWriMo winner. Woo-hoo! Of course, this year's novel, which I've tentatively called Descent, is nowhere near finished. Now, I just have to see if I can get around to finishing last year's novel Tiebroken first. NaNoWriMo is definitely something that I would recommend to just about anyone. Sorry you'll have to wait a year, though, for NaNoWriMo 2007, though. Or perhaps, National Solo Album Month is more up your alley. Plus, I hear that June will become National Screenplay Writing Month starting in 2007.

A Long Time Ago, We Used to Like Your Theme Song

Why on earth did they change the theme song to Veronica Mars for the third season? I keep watching it, hoping that this week someone with the power to change it would restore what was the best theme song on network television these days. But it's not just that they changed, they changed it to a hollowed out shell of its former self, and so every week we're reminded of just how bone-headed the decision to change it was.
