Day Three of NaBloPoMo?
FAIL. I've got nothing to say.
Well, except for this - earlier today I was in a car with video display mounted on the dash. When you put the car into reverse, it turns on a bumper camera so you can see what's behind you on the screen in full color. Ostensibly this is so you don't back over any bikes, pets, kids, etc.
I told Fletch we could never own such a car because all I'd ever do was park in front of people and spy on them.
(His response was yet another desperate plea for me to find a hobby.)
sweet jesus I do have a twin sister...

A friend of mine has a car with one of those - wait, car is not the correct word. Truck, SUV whatever. I guess the manufacturers felt they had to put the camera in because the damn trucks, SUV's etc. are so HUGE you can't possibly see anything behind you.
But what I actually wanted to say before I went off on my tangent. Was that I think I would find that little camera screen totally distracting and it could possible cause an accident.

OMG, I feel like I'm going to fail NaBloPoMo too! My boyfriend moved in with me three days into it, and since I blog mostly about the books I read (yours is probably next, LOVED IT!!!!!!) I'm going to run out of fodder. I'm glad you posted about it, or I never would have heard about it. A friend did NaNoWriMo a few years ago, and I was going to do it too until I once again encountered the main obstacle to my writing a novel: lack of an idea. So I'm glad I can do NaBloPoMo. Unless I fail it.

I'm with Regina. Spying IS a hobby.....and helps sell your books! After all, a writer has to be an observer of human behavior right?
I'd get the video camera.

You see, dear Gov, even when you think you have "nothing to say", you are still HILARIOUS! Your spontaneous wit is incredibly entertaining and even if you just post some daily remark which is totally inane to you, we, your loyal fans, will be looking forward to reading it each and every day! So -- go NaBloPoMo!!! We, the residents of Jennsylvania, are SO HAPPY to Gov is back in residence!!
