As there might be a few people making valiant attempts at National Novel Writing Month, here's a bit from author Jonathan Moeller's blog:

For the general level of weirdness to the news.. Former Smallville actress, Allison Mack, second command in a sex cult under investigation

The worst thing about Ancient History class? The teacher tends to Babylon.

Finished a re-run of Saints Row 2. Now going onto Saints Row 3. Pondering on if there are any interesting mods out there for it. Hm. Nope. Pretty much basic car tweaks and nudity mods. Ah well.

Trying to work on a Data Science assignment and getting lost. A series of sections that go in stages involving the MusicBrainz database, but its that..establish a batch of sql queries which isn't an issue, but understanding how Musicbrainz works, the relationships between tables and just what information is where is a bit of a nightmare. Then the create python script that will connect to the database, run the sql queries, and then print it out as an xml document. Then do it again, but instead producing json. Then flip it again to have a python script connecting to a MongoDB database to insert the JSON documents you produced earlier... Before wrapping it up by redoing all those queries in Javascript to execute on the MongoDB you created... The more I search on how to do any of it, the more I end up in overly complicated solutions and advanced areas that are way beyond what I'm trying to deal with. It is surprisingly hard to find some simple basic explanations of how to handle that sort of combination of elements. I think tis time for a break. Maybe a short hour of Saints Row insanity to soothe things before I return to it.

Well, they've announced Mass Effect: Annihilation. The story of the Quarian Ark that everyone wanted. Unfortuantely, it's just going to be a novel now.
