Really, brain, dinosaurs?

Fun facts from my nightmare-filled brain, sorted from creepy to crazy:

  • The longer you’re pregnant, the more of the baby’s features you can see through your stomach. When you can see the baby’s eye color, you have about 24 hours until labor sets in.
  • Human/Tyrannosaur hybrids are a thing, and you might already know one.
  • Before running any kind of medical testing the hospital will lock you and 11 other strangers in a conference room with a big oak table. You’ll be naked because they’re going around to take everyone’s vitals. You won’t mind.
  • Everyone is given a personals samples bag to ensure you can all brush your teeth. Your bag will be about the length and width of a tube sock but contain full-size containers of: toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, another shampoo, another conditioner, toothbrush, comb, napkins, mouthwash, razors, hairspray, and leave-in conditioner.
  • One of the women in the group will fall in love with the tyrannosaur and leave her husband and child to live with him. They spend their time roaming museums, often in their bed clothing
  • The tyrannosaur, by the way, started out looking like a normal guy, then turned into a flesh-colored dinosaur, then into a cross between the T-Rex from Meet the Robinsons and the toy T-Rex from Toy Story but had Wallace Shawn’s voice
  • when your brain starts injecting jokes about the flash-forward and flash-back scripting of your dreams, you’re about to wake up.

I just woke up and I’m already tired.

Camp NaNoWriMo Winner!

Last night at way too early in the morning, I hit 50,000 words.

That’s 107 pages, 276,010 characters. And one main character currently bleeding from his ears on the floor.

So I’m not done.

But I hit my goal and I am a very very happy kirabug!

One last plug: you can help kids and adults who want to have the opportunity to write, but don’t have the equipment, by donating to the cause. It is a life-altering positive experience to say, “I made this”. Please consider a donation.

Not very creative

You know how Edison used to sleep with a handful of ball bearings in his hand so that when he fell into REM sleep he’d drop the ball bearings and the noise would wake him up so he could write down ideas from his dreams?

I’ve been doing something similar where I’m still using my iPhone when I fall asleep so my hand hits the keyboard. Only except for waking me up most of the time it just renames my apps XXZXZZZZZ ZZZXDXXZXXX.
