First off, let me say that it's weird, and kind of sad in a way, that I'm not listening to music as much as I used to. I LOVED listening to music, going out to buy cds and stuff constantly, but due to budgetary constraints and personal decisions (not to worry, Emm, this was self-enforced) I haven't bought many new cds this year. Especially looking at the list of songs on my hard drive, where there's a significant drop in songs for each year (a few hundred in 2004, much less in 2005, and I haven't put any from this year yet). It just feels strange not to go out and buy cds willy-nilly anymore. But as soon as I get my music collection together again I'll probably start downloading more, as it's much cheaper. That, and once I go through the cds again and sell a good chunk of them at the local stores, I'll have a bit more to spend again.

Meanwhile, on the writing end of things, it still feels like I'm going slow with Gabriel & Cassandra, but after finishing Chapter 11, I think I'm further along than I think. I'll have to do another word count to see how far I've gotten. Last I did this was two chapters ago and I was surprised to see that I had about 41,000 words already--about halfway done. Not bad...not bad at all.

More later...back to work!
