TPBM
That reminds me of the joke about Helen Keller’s falling down the well. No. My muse seems to be taking life easy.TPBM is coffeed out for the morning.
The exact opposite! I am thinking of walking across the street to get an extra cup, something I rarely do.TPBM started reading a new book that is already a disappointment.
Yup. Though I realize that, staying away from it has been tough these days. TPBM loves playing in the rain. But repents it later when the cold catches up.
I live in Vancouver. If I didn't play in the rain, I would spend very little time playing. Loving or not is, oddly enough, irrelevant.TPBM likes to have planted pots in their office area.
Yes, absolutely. We have a few in the office area. But not near my desk though..TPBM is a huge fan of the movie: Casablanca.
I should be writing my novel right now, yes.TPBM had the most wonderful dream last night. Merlin season four was on Netflix...*sigh*
Nope. Don't have one.TPBM hopes Al finds her lucky pen.
Um, not a big fan of loud noises but I do like the TV and sometimes the phone.TPBM just passed 11,000 words!
Not really, as I am already in a new day.TPBM is surprised, sometimes, how far away from its meaning a word sounds.
Hi Al! I'm jumping around a bit. M's Haiku is taunting me, and so instead of doing the things I really wanted to do, I'm doing that instead. Which means my wants are easily distracted!TPBM feels a little guilty because they think they should want to do something else other than playing in the WSS, but the WSS is too much creative fun to be rudely cast aside.
Close! I'm going to sneak some ice cream with chocolate sauce.
TPBM is high on ice cream that has been improved with chunks of chocolate chip cookies.
Nope. Eyes are getting heavy and demands of work begin at 6:30 am. Alarm set for 5. Now I'm off to kip!TPBM has wondered why that the realization that Jesus was a Jew seemed odd.
No. Sadly, I don't have any cats XP I'm too allergic.TPBM is writing an exciting scene today :D
Sadly, no. I'm stuck writing at home XPOoh, fight scenes are always awesome :D
TPBM hasn't started writing yet XP
No, I have some stuff done. Not much, though...TPBM needs to get a move on for NaNoWriMo. (I started five days late...)
Yes. I haven't written a single word today XPTPBM is behind on their word counts.
Yeah! It does a little today! I might be a little sick.TPBM is debating whether to have coffee or not.
Yeah, a little.TPBM just wants the election to be over.
Well I don't need it but it wouldn't be bad right now.TPBM needs to write faster!
It's not freezing but I am a little chilled. Not so much now that my brother is sitting next to me and I think my mom turned on the heat.TPBM just reached 13K!
Nope. I had written about 8000 odd words for last year's NaNo. It has stayed there, untouched for a year now! I'm shockingly lazy and a bad example.Repeating the same:
TPBM just reached 13K!
Hmm. I didn't have any today but it is not a bad idea.TPBM thinks they're bad at coming up with TPBMs! :P
Unfortunately.TPBM had a club sandwich for lunch.
True! I just finished walking around 9 floors of my office building collecting my now old Debunked posters.TPBM would like to have a freshly baked cinnamon bun right now.
Yes. That. Sounds. Delish.TPBM just hit 11k :D
Yup, just helped myself to a slab of chocolate which had embedded fruits & nuts :) I wouldn't mind a world full of chocolates myself!TPBM is a romantic at heart but pretends otherwise.
I’m always having to play the part of the hard-driving, tough-as-nails, no-nonsense, kick-ass-and-take-names kind of hero, but underneath I’m sentimental and love nothing more than making a gourmet dinner for my wife, with candlelight and soft music.TPBM is gullible enough to believe something like that.
No, though as the mice on the pirate ship are fond of saying now: “When the mice are away, the cat will play.”TPBM likes sultry music.
Nope.TPBM is feeling better than they were this morning.
Yes. Failed last year, failing this year :(TPBM is in a lively mood right now.
You must be going for quality rather than quantity. Shame on you! I read somewhere that Harper Lee wrote one page a day. (Of course, that would add up to 365 well-written pages a year.)Lively mood? No. It’s time for me to go set breakfast out.
TPBM had strange dreams last night.
No. She’s probably been reincarnated by now as another beautiful Himalayan.TPBM is at a coffeehouse and is having a mocha.
Yes. A terrible one.TPBM has a headache too.
No. I know what a headache’s like though! I had one--well, I think it was in the 1980’s.TPBM stayed up all night and finished her NaNo novel.
No but I will be thinking about that now definitely... :DTPBM doesn't feel like doing anything today!
Quite the contrary. I can think of something specific I feel like doing. I feel like relaxing and forgetting about all my chores.TPBM is often told what a marvellous sense of humor he/she has.
Well, define often. I can think of only one person who actually tells me that, and she doesn't do it that often. Fortunately she does it often enough to think maybe it could be true — at least once and a while, in a limited way on an off day.TPBM thinks that Paul Simon is perhaps America's greatest contemporary song writer.
Thank you Al. And still only one person! LoL.During an interview shortly before Ray Charles died, 'Paul Simon' was his answer to the question 'Who is your favourite songwriter?'
Guy: TPBM thinks that Paul Simon is perhaps America's greatest contemporary song writer.Alex: Guy, your humor is marvelous.
:) Nope. I think so too! (Doesn't Faint, but is still in a dazed state of mind.)
LoL! Thank you Ajay and the very funny M.As to the story, I did, but I managed to hobble the skeleton of it together and posted it in its limited way on an off night.
TPBM is having (had) bacon and eggs (in one of its guises) for breakfast.
No, my work has been predefined and pre-assigned by my wife.TPBM dreamt that the earth was flat.
Nope.TPBM dreamed something that would never ever happen because she/he isn't cool enough to meet/fall in love with someone in her/his favorite band XP
Yes. I didn't know who the father was.TPBM has a major celebrity crush, and said celebrity keeps making appearances in their dreams.
Yes. I don't want to reveal her name though.Repeating the same:

TPBM is sick of her sister's music, but likes it too much to put up a reasonable argument to get her to stop blasting it.
