Best Kerby Lane pancakes ever
Nov. 27th, 2005 09:17 pmToday, our waiter at Kerby Lane said that the pumpkin pancakes were the best pancakes ever. Unfortunately for me, he said this to another table of people after I had already eaten my strawberry pancakes. But if you are about to go to Kerby Lane, and the pumpkin pancakes are available, you now have the proper recommendation.
Nanowrimo Update
Today I wrote after brunch. Then after seeing the latest "Harry Potter" I went to a write-in and wrote some more. Then I came home and wrote some more. I did a good minimum considering how far behind I am.
At the write-in, I really, really wanted to quit. And that may be why, for the first time, I used a plot ninja. Someone handed everyone a yellow leaf and said to use the beautiful (and furry) leaf to inspire them to write something. So I now have a scene involving raking. Sadly, this was the best writing I did today:
Word count: 2934. That means I need to average 1755 a day for the next three days to finish, which is only a little higher than the average for the month. It's still possible. I'd rather not be trying to upload my "novel" for the official word count on the last day if I can help it, though, in case of extremely heavy traffic causing problems. Oh, well.

In Which a Fuzzy Yellow Leaf Enters the Scene
"Bubba, you're raking!"
"Yes. There are leaves. And they must be carefully organized."
"Into stunning piles? And do they stay in the stunning piles or is this a transitory state on the way to perfect leaf organization?"
"I move them to the compost heap out back."
"I'll help. Would you like me to move the leaves or take over the raking?"
"Oh, that's nice. How about raking? My fingers are threatening to form blisters."
"My pleasure. I can't believe the autumns here are so dull."
"I prefer the term subtle."
"Subtle? More like completely invisible."
"What? You have your brownish yellow, your brownish orange, and your brownish red. Look at the rainbow of shades of brown."
