Written with my head on a pillow by Nichole
Last night I went dancing with Marisol, her friends and some mutual friends at this Hispanic club in Chicago called La Pachanga. We took a limo up there (Marisol and her husband were friends with the driver) so we didn’t have to worry about driving later on. We smuggled in a bottle of tequila. There [...]

No video today, but that doesn’t matter. Today was a no-work day. Well, no writing work anyhow, and I’m regretting. I did, however, clean the apartment top to bottom. I even organized my utility closet, so now things aren’t in disarray. I like it organized. Neat. I played Persona 3 for a few hours. People [...]

Written with hyperness by Nichole
I think I was channeling DeceasedCrab in the beginning there. Too many Let’s Plays. Today was a highly productive day despite being out of the house for a good chunk of it. I went to get a quote for my health insurance this morning at the Shaner Agency. Such nice people who have known our [...]

No video today. A lot of what I did can’t be shown on video anyhow. Not that it’s risque or secretive, it’s just that there really isn’t anything to show. I’m not wasting a free boot-up on Scrivener to take a video. I spent four hours working on the first revision of that 10,000 word [...]
I really despise, loathe, hate lake effect snow – Day 17

Written with a Sharpie by Nichole
Snow. A snowstorm is okay because it has a visible beginning and end. I can plan for things, especially things that are travel related. Lake effect snow? Nuh-uh. There’s a beginning, but no end. Endless snow rolling off Lake Michigan right to my front door (or rather my apartment complex) makes me want to rip [...]

About Nichole the not-so-starving artist from Northwest Indiana
I quit my job to be a full-time writer! I'm also a web designer, gamer and a level 12 necromancer-in-training, sort of. I cook like a mo-fo and bake when the mood strikes me. Angel food cake is a specialty. I make choices in life by rolling percentile dice. TV is lame, so I watch Let's Plays. My iPod is filled with video game soundtracks. I support local commerce by shopping local and supporting the emerging artists in my community.
@ripsup They would have to dump the contents of it out first. I guess they could always paint with it like some women do. in reply to ripsup 7 mins ago
