A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, wrapped in a vest

For the love of God, HELP ME!!
I've been held in a fortune cookie factory for over 30 years.

I'm not going to finish the JulNoWriMo.
There, I said it.
I've never lost a monthly WriMo before, so it's new to me.
I have decided though, that I'm going to write 50K, I'm just stretching it out to two months. That way, I'll stay motivated and writing but not stress myself out or flake on things that are important. Like today, I have to record the vocal for tomorrows podcast, and cook a big rigatoni for me and H.
Speaking of Take a Stab at This! I've had lots of traffic. Not much in the way of feedback, but a lot of people are looking at it. A couple hundred every day, so that is good news. Sent my lead actor a refurbished iPod which he should be getting today. Might make my life easier to send him the new Zoom H1 recorder my work will be carrying soon. Maybe I'll be able to afford it soon. I still have to buy some copies of my books to have on hand, get new glasses, and then it'll totally be time to work on my Halloween costume, then Christmas and every jackass I know has a birthday in either November or December--the jerks!

Our organic food delivery is coming tomorrow. We're getting spinach (Stop. Omlette Time!) and chard, two pounds of red grapes, and some other stuff. Not exactly sure who is growing grapes in Michigan, though I guess there are wineries here. St Julian's has been around forever. I used to love their sparkling juices as a kid. I ordered a bottle of dressing to go with the great lettuces, tomatoes, and cukes we are getting. I've never been so excited for a salad in my life!

Finished season one of Dexter. Even though I guessed who the bad guy was almost immediately, I thought it was a very well written show. Jennifer Carpenter annoys the hell out of me, but whatever. I'm stoked to get going on season two, and bummed that there's a season 4 spoiler on the cover of the CD set. Thanks, Showtime. You're still not HBO, so just get over yourself already. I do love how so many networks have figured out that people will watch shows if you bother to make them good--and that plenty of people really do know the difference between Art and Product.

I recently thought about fortune cookies, I think because this frozen Asian chicken dumpling dinner has dumplings that resemble fortune cookies. I wondered if the people who make those cookies ever have the urge to put goofy messages in their cookies just to mess with the people who open them.

That way, I'll stay motivated and writing but not stress myself out or flake on things that are important.

I think that's a wise decision. Do what's best for you.

I really don't know what the culture is regarding those cookies in China. It might be considered anywhere from annoying to rude to heretical to mess around with fortune cookies.

Yeah, I'm good with the WriMo. I'm super excited for this new book.

Season Two of Dexter is my favorite so far. (Haven't seen Season Four yet, tho I probably heard the same spoiler you did.) I've read the first three books, and they're on a divergent path. In them, he's much more wicked -- sort of the poster boy for the term "depraved indifference."

Hey, regarding your (elsewhere mentioned) "whatever happened to Pete Best" ... Several years ago on Compu$erve, somebody claimed to know more details about Jim Morrison's death. Their claim was that Jim died at a club, and a couple friends hustled his corpse back to his own place.

And that trip has always intrigued me, taking Morrison's corpse on the Paris subways (for instance.) Maybe they made a whole final tour of it.


And for a fortune cookie: I told you so, but did you listen?

Celebrity deaths can be the source of some profound chicanery, that's for sure. My mention of Pete Best as a bit more tongue-in-cheek, but if you have listened to that episode, you probably know that already. ;-]
