NaNo Day 1: It Begins

[willow_red]

Today's word count: 1029. Not up to the goal, but I got a lot of other things done today that were important, so I choose not to feel bad. Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate the Serenity role-playing book, and there are a few things I'd like to look up before getting much further. No luck at Time Warp or Barnes & Noble.

Amusing thing I learned at the NaNoWriMo kickoff dinner tonight: the conversion factor between buttload, shitload, and fuckload. The difference is a factor of seven. For example, let's say you have one pat of butter for your bread. If someone gave you seven pats of butter, that would be a buttload of butter. If they gave you 50 pats of butter, that would be a shitload of butter. And if they gave you 350 pats of butter, man, that's a fuckload of butter.

Given those conversion factors, I really do have a fuckload of DVDs. Or two. :)

I am concerned that you may have been dining with engineers ....

Two accountants and a math grad student, almost as bad, but damn if we didn't get the check paid exactly right!
