NaNoWriMo 2007 has at last come to a close, and although I did not ‘win’ by official standards, I did beat my own goal that I had set as well as my own previous best word count from 2005.  26,373 words… Not bad for working full-time, being happily married, and still managing to have something resembling a life.  All in all, I’m pleased with the results, and I hope one year maybe I’ll make it to 50,000 (like maybe when I retire).

A few short hours ago I got back from an intense gaming weekend with friends in NYC.  There was Wii playing as well as table-top gaming of the Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Mage: The Awakening varieties.  It was a blast, plus it was great to see our friends again.  Living in different states makes it tough, but thanks to the wonders of Skype and Google Talk, we’re always in touch.  And one of them will hopefully be coming to live with us for a time while he finds a job and apartment in the area.  That will be no shortage of awesome, since we’ll have plenty of room in the new house!

In other news, Taijutsu training has been rocking hardcore.  I’ll see about dedicating my next post to some of the incredible kick-assedness that is Bujinkan.

That’s all from me for now.  Peace out!
