Another year, another NaNoWriMo failure... eh... only this time I don't seem to care so much. I think I just realized I was trying to be something else that I'm just not. I really just should have other, Better, priorities.
Anyway, about something better, more encouraging. Today I read like 50 pages more of Gone Girl than I expected. Now I'm at the end of Part I, actually scratch that I read a little more. Anyway, as the story progressed it became apparent that one of them was lying. Like I suspected it was the wife. Now I'm curios about her real story. She seems like a sociopath, someone who just doesn't seem to care.
About Queen Victoria: A Personal History - it's okay as a book but it's not a particularly good biography. It sort of glosses over and doesn't give a full picture of Victoria as a person. Just the facts, really. Which is not bad, but I've read better. Which is kind of a shame cause I really wanted an interesting story about her life and this was the highest on Goodreads list.
My current past time/obsession is playing Bloons TD 5 Co-op. I think I'll just have and undying addiction to that game. Just keep coming back to it.
Also no power outs today. Progress, I guess.
Some time ago I decided that instead of 7 pages I should just read 4 Bible pages every morning. Sure, that way I could read the entire book withing a year, but with a slower pace I could focus more on the details, so to speak. Take it in more. I previously thought that I should do that once I'm done (as in at Revelations, le finito) but perhaps not, perhaps after the Acts of the Apostles because that's when moved from one chapter every morning. Or was it before that? No it definitely started with the Pauline Epistles. So I guess from now it will the whole Bible within 2 years (a tad less technically). A noble experiment still.
But I'm still pretty sad about that NaNoWriMo thing, especially when I go on Twitter (might need to un-follow). Perhaps a more humble project of 500 words a day would be just the thing to lift my spirits up. I think, like with Gillian Flynn, first person might be the cup of tea for me. Speaking of which, as the book progresses Nick becomes less and less likable. But it's in a logical way. There's this whole emptiness to the world where everything is broken, everything seems dying. You know what the good things are, how you're supposed to be, but in a godless world there's nothing that keeps you from falling ever lower. That's why Breaking Bad is truly a story for this broken era - it's all baby steps down to damnation.
