- 00:14:20: Happy new year, everyone!
- 00:15:28: I haven't had a wee since last year :) #newyear #badjokes
- 00:31:38: Now for my first sleep of 2011. It will surely be a spectacle to behold. Or not. Watching someone sleep is pretty crap.
- 00:32:11: NIGHT, TWITTERVERSE! Happy 2011!
- 19:21:02: Well, my first day of 2011 has bene thoroughly uneventful. A year is what you make it, and I want mine to be AWESOME.
- 19:30:14: RT @littlefluffycat: Listen to the quiet of New Year's daybreak, marvel at possibility. Choose to give yourself a new start *every morning*.
- 19:41:39: Now to continue typing up my travesty I MEAN novel...
- 19:56:12: To everyone who texted/tweeted me saying 'Happy New Year' last night - have a good 'un yourselves! :D
- 19:57:18: Anyway, I've started using Twittinesis (sp?) to post my tweets to my blog - this should be good, as I generally don't x-post!
- 19:59:14: Oh, Caravan, you guys are awesome. #nowplaying Somewhere in Your Heart - Caravan
- 20:00:58: Think I might write up a to-do list for 2011 in the next few days :) I like goals that I can work actively towards achieving.
- 20:01:31: *by which I mean clear goals. They're easier to work towards. #clarityfail
- 20:17:28: @primortia I've tried it already - twice - and failed :P I think I'm just going to do a list of 100 things this year. More manageable :)
- 20:18:54: @GreenDragonGirl YAY PARTY TIME *whips out the glowsticks and party hats*
- 20:29:39: A quarter of my 100 things to do in 2011 list completed. Anyone got ideas of awesome/cheap things I could do next year?
- 20:29:56: Tell you what, I'd love to go to the next Latitude festival...
- 20:31:26: Arrrrgh sibling's existence mesisng up my iTunes library. Play counts all inaccurate, songs sorted by artist instead of album... #grr
- 20:31:43: *messing #typofail
- 20:45:12: I'm considering getting a Blackberry. I desperately need a new phone, and they seem pretty handy.
- 20:48:46: The thing is, could I put all my music onto a BlackBerry? It's all AAC format thanks to buggering iTunes...
- 20:49:29: Oh, and another thing, one of the albums I bought off iTunes (the T.2 one) turned out to be only half an album. Tracks were missing. #rant
- 20:51:48: £450 for a BlackBerry from O2. Blimey. Maybe I should just stick to the phone I've got, while it's still (sort of) working...
- 20:52:26: Lordy. I said I was going to type up my novel. It's nearly 9 and not a single word. Best get cracking... #damnyouprocrastination
- 21:03:19: You know what would make my 2011? Someone, #giveSGUseason3, please? It's too awesome to cancel!
- 21:04:11: @primortia A lot of the stuff I'm trying to do this year's on my old 101 in 1001 lists anyway, so it's all good :D Yay for lists!
- 21:06:57: RT @TheTVGod: Worst TV business decision of 2010? #Syfy moving shows to Tuesday then cancelling Stargate Universe #SGU and #Caprica.
- 21:07:29: @TheTVGod You nailed that one. I was absolutely gutted. #giveSGUseason3
- 21:13:08: 9265 words typed up. Hoping for 11,000 by the end of today's type-up session!
- 21:20:10: I feel a bit ill, all of a sudden :l
- 21:22:36: Now downloading a 1962 avant-garde Jazz album - Abstract, by Joe Harriott. Computer's being a pain, though :(
- 21:28:45: I actually only need aforementioned album for novel research. But I'm curious about it anyway, as a fan of that kind of stuff. #doublewin
- 21:29:20: @mattstevensloop Good idea. Definitely a good idea. Providing it doesn't cost too much to advertise, I say you do it!
- 21:31:31: Ow. My ears. These headphones are painful - the puffy 'over-ear' ones :(
- 21:32:07: @decoyhost Ooh, might you share such a site with us? I've been looking for a site like that for ages :D
- 21:42:53: RT @TLCMusicpage: @SirKelsalot A song for the homeless I wrote for xmas please check it out. Would mean a lot http://t.co/4X5PC5f & repost!?
- 21:54:02: Oh, WOW. #nowplaying Subject - The Joe Harriott Quintet - the MP3 was recorded directly from the vinyl!
- 21:59:08: @mattstevensloop You never know until you try. Classic Rock Prog could get you loads more listeners who'd appreciate your music! Good luck!
- 21:59:53: 9564 words typed up. Not brilliant, I'm afraid. Time to get some serious typing done...
- 22:03:43: Haha - just reached the aquaplaning bit in my novel. God knows where *that* came from. I don't remember writing it :l
- 22:04:02: Damn you, headphones...
- 22:05:52: I can't wear these headphones any more. In future, going to use my ordinary iPod ones. They're much less of a buggerance to use.
- 22:19:55: Arrrgh computer, start working quicker or I'll be up into the wee small hours just waiting on this download...
- 22:26:04: 9753 words... still edging along. I need to motivate myself by thinking of how awesome it would be to see my book in print.
- 22:31:22: @eatthepen Delicious.
- 22:32:15: Just wrote a delightful scene in which a character choked on a bit of Spam. Spam of the food variety, to clarify, though you never know...
- 22:32:32: *just typed said scene, anyway.
- 22:34:23: 9932 words typed. I'm feeling hopeful now that I can reach 11000 by midnight, as I type way faster than I handwrite :)
- 22:37:26: Taking a short break, to get the headphones that don't crush my ears.
- 22:38:27: @eatthepen So am I. But the novel's set in '62... but then, with the crap I come out with, I'd probably find a way to make it work...
- 22:39:13: @eatthepen Damn. Now you've got me thinking of ways to make it so that normal Spam = e-Spam, in some big, awesome revelatory scene...
- 22:43:55: YAY decent headphones that don't gnaw off my ears C:
- 22:45:20: Now I can listen to the rest of 'Abstract' by The Joe Harriott Quintet C: #nowplaying
- 22:52:11: "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" - Stephen King
- 22:54:13: Wa-hey! 10180 words typed up! *throws a party with cake and silly hats*
- 23:07:20: 10369 words, now. I'll definitely be reaching the end of Chapter the Second today. I'm nearly a sixth of the way through the type-up!
- 23:08:11: And this download is nearly in :DD
- 23:09:51: YAY it's in <3
- 23:12:43: Now wondering if FLAC files will work with iTunes...
- 23:18:17: Hah. They won't work with my computer at all. Brilliant stuff.
- 23:34:20: 10813 words, now :D Just under 200 more. Tomorrow's goal is 15000!
- 23:46:10: 11025 words typed up, at the end of Chapter the Second. Now to get cracking with Chapter the Third... Might pull an all-nighter :)
- 23:48:51: Ahhh this is where the novel gets really bizarre :D
- 23:58:25: 11293 words. My right hand is starting to hurt a bit now.
