My Newest Desktop Picture and Associated Obsession

I present to you ("you" meaning anyone other than me that is reading this) my newest desktop picture. Ta da!

Along with this wallpaper (which took me two-three hours to make in Photoshop) I present my newest obsessions: Doctor Who and David Tennant (and Torchwood, but that's not in the wallpaper).

I went on a Doctor Who and Torchwood bender. I watched all of the new!Who, the show that restarted in 2005, and Torchwood in about three and a half weeks. During that time I also went to classes and socialized. It was great fun. I am, at this moment, listening to the Torchwood soundtrack, and have been doing so for the past week or so. Because one of the first things I noticed when I started watching Torchwood was that I really liked the music. I also really like the opening. I'm taking a class called Digital Interactive Design this semester. It's a Flash class. And I would love to be able to make a sequence as cool as the Torchwood opening in Flash.

Creatures and Lengends Myths for My NaNo

"List of Legendary Creatures," at WikiPedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legendary_creatures)
This seems like a good place to start. A jumping off point of sorts.

"Top 10 Mythical Creatures," at List Universe (http://listverse.com/bizarre/top-10-mythical-creatures/)

These are creatures that I really don't want to use in my NaNovel unless I dig really deep into research and do them differently than others have before. I just think that they are too common. Also: dragons and angels, but I am willing to change my mind if the story needs it.

NaNoWriMo: Is It November Yet?

I've given up on doing homework for the night, and instead I'm looking through the NaNoWriMo forums. I don't why looking through the forums gets me so pumped for November, but it does. I'm ready, well, inpiration wise. I have no plot, or characters. But those things don't really matter for NaNoWriMo anyway.

One thing that I've found that looks interesting (while looking through the forums) is a program called Temptation Blocker. The link is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/temptblocker/, and I think I'll be putting it on my laptop when I get home from work tonight.

I've also just noticed that I can't find my NaNo 2007 winner badges, so I'm going to look for them online and steal them, because I thought I'd posted them on here, but apparently not. I did win though. No doubt about it.

101 Goals in 1001 Days?

I think I'm going to write up a list of 101 goals to achieve in 1001 days. It seems like an interesting concept, and I really love lists. I've fallen a little bit behind in my homework and need a few days to catch up and write my list of goals, but once I've made the list I'll post it here on my blog so that other people can attempt to keep me going toward my goals.

If you think the concept of 101 Goals in 1001 Days Sounds interesting and would like to learn more, here is the web address: http://www.101goalsin1001days.com/.
