Im here.
 
 
Papess
01:44 / 06.11.08
You are always here. Don't you live here?
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:46 / 06.11.08
No, not really. I just seem to know when someone has posted here. Its really quite eerie.
 
 
Papess
01:53 / 06.11.08
That is a bit eerie. Actually, the laundry room in this building is quite eerie. 11 floors in this building and only 5...count them...FIVE washing machines. What the freakin' hell?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:07 / 06.11.08
Strange. Im not sure what the usual ration of floors to machines are in appartment buildings.

Im not sure what the usual ration of floors to machines are in appartment buildings.

It varies county to county and is closely connected to the mule/hominy/porch ratio.

I think I got so sleepy tonight I've warped back 'round to awake.

G'morning!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:53 / 07.11.08
H'lo!

(does dance of joy)

Papers! How ya doing?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:57 / 07.11.08
Good. In the middle of my chunk of novel writing for the day, but I needed a bit of human contact. How`s it going for you, Kegs?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:00 / 07.11.08
Suprisingly alright. Spent the day smothering myself in art. So thats good. A very creative day. Many ideas came forth.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:03 / 07.11.08
It's been shitting rain all day -- I sat in a cafe this morning and read Murakami, met a friend for coffee, then came home to stare at the screen for a while. I've been writing, but only in drabs and bursts. Way it goes. But I have an idea for a project for next month.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:04 / 07.11.08
DO tell..
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:06 / 07.11.08
Well, since I've been doing the novel this month, I'm going to do twenty short-short stories next month, of various genres and styles. I figure twenty will give me a good number and time to edit them after the fact, package them as something maybe.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:06 / 07.11.08
Do you have any projects on the go? I can never keep up with what you're doing.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:16 / 07.11.08
Well right now Im sketching characters for a story idea I have. Im rather crap at writting so I do what I do best in hopes that it'll improve my story.

Keggers from the Crypt? Is that like Jenny from the Block?

Hiya Papers. Nano-ing?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:21 / 07.11.08
No. No, its othing like Jenny from the Block. Infact never mention that again.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:41 / 07.11.08
Love the guy's cyber-eye.

Hey, Papess! Yes, working on the NaNov. It's...I don't know. Probably kind of crap and weird but I'm feeling energized just doing it.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:53 / 07.11.08
Weird is good! Crap, not so much. Whats it about?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:55 / 07.11.08
Surrealist bowling epic with valkyries and monster-hunters.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:56 / 07.11.08
(jaw drops)

AWESOME!!!
How can you go wrong?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:58 / 07.11.08
Oh, it's just shaky at times. Any first draft is, but it's harder when you're trying to sustain the narrative for 50,000 words.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:01 / 07.11.08
I keep trying to resist the urge to smother this thing in puns. Ugh. I should have had Grant's job writting copy for the ragmags.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:14 / 07.11.08
Limit yourself to, like, five puns. Some puns are very funny.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:16 / 07.11.08
Per Chapter? Page? Paragraph? Sentence? Cause I can fit at least three just in the ISBN number. ;)
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:21 / 07.11.08
Five per chapter. That way it's classy and fun. Kicky, even.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:23 / 07.11.08
Crap. I went from 6000 words down to 25. The puns were AWESOME!

heheh, I keed
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:27 / 07.11.08
and you're going to have to explain the name change.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:35 / 07.11.08
Which? Oh. Tlön & Uqbar are from a Borges story about a fictional country.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:36 / 07.11.08
hehehe.. I read 'Borges' and I think Victor. Damn, he was funny.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:57 / 07.11.08
G'night Papers!
 
 
Papess
15:36 / 07.11.08
Hey Papers, I fell asleep before I could respond last night.

Yup! I am doing the Nanowrimo. I have the guilt monkeys too.

Just for the record, the puns can't be too funny or "smart."

The puns must be *bad* ones.

Mmmm, lateshift gourmet. I think we should have a Barbelith Lateshift Recipe Book about all the lovely epicurean delights lithers create.
