Discussion over lunch:<\/p>\n

\n
Me<\/b>: Is C. still on vacation?<\/p>\n
R<\/b>: Yeah, he’s gone all month. He’s home writing a book or something.<\/p>\n
Me<\/b>: Is he doing that Nanowrimo<\/a> thing?<\/p>\n
R<\/b>: I don’t think so. What’s that?<\/p>\n
Me<\/b>: Nanowrimo is “National Novel Writing Month”. It’s this ridiculous thing where people try and write an entire book in 30 days.<\/p>\n
R<\/b>: No, he’s been working on his book for a while. That Nanowrimo thing sounds crazy!<\/p>\n
Me<\/b>: Yeah. I thought about doing it, but then I checked out their webpage, and it said you had to write, like, 2,000 words every day, and in the end you have a 175-page book. A crappy<\/i> 175-page book. I figured, hell, if I wanted a crappy 175-book, I’d just go buy the newest Star Trek novelization or something. Or I’d just write one really good sentence and cut-n-paste it every day until I had 175-pages.<\/p>\n
R<\/b>: That’s what Jack Nicholson should have done in The Shining<\/i>. When they remake it, they’ll show him highlighting that sentence, and then just cut-n-pasting a bunch.<\/p>\n
Me<\/b>: Hah hah! Yeah, and then the wife will be all like “My husband’s gone psycho!” And they cops will say “What? All he did was hit control-v a couple dozen times…?”<\/p>\n
R<\/b>: Now they can never remake that movie, thanks to technology.<\/p>\n
Me<\/b>: Oh I dunno, they could use it to their advantage. What if they showed him writing “All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy” on his Palm Pilot 68,000 times? Psycho!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
