Stolen!

Got past 12.5K words today, and then accidentally left my jump drive at a location that is not my apartment, yet where I can be assured of retrieving it early tomorrow (by which I mean I am totally not writing at the office, ahem).

So tonight I'm just chilling. Cursing the BBC for not allowing me to watch the new episode of Spooks on-line via them (it's my fault I'm not in the UK?) and waiting for some lovely British person to, ah, did I mention that I am not writing at the office? Can't stress that enough.

Stolen from Mugsy:

Last Road Trip: For sheer road-trip purposes? Might be almost 10 years ago when Bullinger and I went out to Washington State.

Last Bad Advice: Given or received? I think can pinpoint "received" to when someone told me not to put that big a percentage of my 401K into railroad stock. I will now be shouting "31 PERCENT PREMIUM" at that person for time to come.

Last Movie I Saw in a Theater: Zombieland.

Last TV Show Watched: I caught some of Nova last night.

Last TV Show I Enjoyed Watching: Watched a load of The Closer over the weekend and am just now getting my internal narrator to stop using that fake Georgia accent.

Last Book I Tried to Read: In the Days of McKinley. McKinley was, based on the 35-pages I've read so far, an odd man. And we've had some seriously odd presidents, so that's saying something.

Last Thing I Left Home Without: My checkbook.

Last Take Out Meal: Probably Taco Bell. Although the one by my house is so inept that I usually stay in just for the floor show.

Last Celebration: I consider the giant sub and cheap beer the family had after cleaning out my house to be just about right.

Last Item Loaned Out and Haven’t Gotten Back: Some book, I'm sure. I've pretty much kept Catch 22 and The Westing Game in print from buying them over and over.

Last Package Received: The poster they sent for donating to NaNoWriMo. It's pretty sweet.

Last Web Site Visited: Mugsy's, of course.

Last Injury: I had this weird elbow thing going on where it killed to straighten my arm out. But that seems to have gone away.

Last Run In with the Law: The nice thing about living off of I-80 is that you are never the fastest person out there. The fuzz haven't given me a second glance in months.

Last Place I’d Want to Live: Oh, probably somewhere that's hot and humid without air conditioning.

Last Magazine Read: Outdoor. My sis-in-law calls it "surfer porn," but I swear I do occasionally read the articles.

Last Thing I Broke: I broke 55 minutes for 6 miles over the weekend, for the first time in a hella long time.

Last Thing I Fixed: Probably the columns on someone's Excel spreadsheet. All hail my Microsoft Office-fu.

Last Thing That Made Me Laugh: The Daily Show clips I was watching earlier.

Last Thing That Made Me Go Huh? There's always several things a day.

Last Thought: "I wonder if that'll go down the disposal."
