Fall has finally arrived in Houston, and it is glorious.

Tonight I’m blogging from bed. This is apparently what it takes to get an update out of me these days, so you’ll have to deal. Besides, you can’t stop me; I’ve already locked the door. Though I guess if you had the time machine required to stop me publishing this *after* you read it, you could just get here *before* I locked the door. But clearly you didn’t, so nyah.

Sam is fascinated by the moving text. I didn’t think dogs “got” things on screens, but every time the little worm of words starts crawling across the page he perks up his eyebrows and stares at it. Hee hee, and he follows the cursor when I wiggle it around the screen. Hoo boy, I don’t know which of us is more easily amused.

Well, I’ve gone and done it again. Unable to resist fussy’s promises of thirty days of writer’s block, I signed myself up for NaBloPoMo again. A year is just long enough, I think, for me to forget the vow I made never to do this again.

So if it’s consistent daily posting you want—the one or maybe two of you who still stop by occasionally—consistent daily posting you will get. By “consistent” I mean that each post will exist in a similar way as the previous one did; there is no implication of quality.

I signed up two weeks ago, but my blogging inertia is so great that I couldn’t bring myself to write this whole big post about it until today. I started this very post four or five days ago, actually, and only got a sentence and a half in before I . . . got distracted or wandered off to play with the dog or something.

Did I tell you I took the GRE Math? I took the GRE Math. Last Saturday. It went okay, nothing fantastic. I did about as well as I could have, given my level of preparation. Physics is coming up in November, and then I’ll take the LSAT again in December for kicks. Tra la.
