.: I finally got some time in tonight, to get a little more written, which is good because I have a good opening (or good enough, anyway) and I'm on a path. 

Working title of the novel is "Cogito Ergo Err: I think, therefore… oops!"  Which is a working title that I'm going to swipe from myself at some later date for something funny.  

This novel isn't funny, though it can be at times.  

I actually have a real friend doing it this year as well, which is so kick ass that I can't tell you how excited I am about it for fear of bruised buttocks.

From, you know, the 'kick ass'?

Never mind, if I have to explain it to you…

.:Pip will be heading south for Florida ahead of schedule.  Sometime before Thanksgiving.  Major. Fucking. Bummer.

But that's all for tonight, because I am a shit blogger.   

Here's an Excerpt from the novel:

The businessman seemed quite surprised when he was told the cost of the code.
“Er… coffee?”
“Ten pounds, yes,” Carter said as he lifted the foam cup of what passed for coffee these days. “And all of it real, because believe me,” he grimaced as he gulped down the swill in the cup. “I can tell.” And because the businessman seemed so confused and unwilling to accept the terms, Carter included three pounds of real sugar and a quart of real milk. “For the coffee,” Carter explained.
In the end, he also accepted five thousand dollars, because that was what the businessman really wanted to hear. That far up the food chain, one so spoiled didn't think of real food as a commodity or a luxury. But cash was something that they understood, because that was the center of their lives. Carter even eventually did the man the favor of haggling over the price, so that the businessman could feel as though he had come out ahead, possibly even cheating Carter just a little.
“One week,” Carter had said. Then he went back to his base, wrote the program in three and a half minutes and thought about the coffee while he waited a week to deliver the goods.
The money was nice, but the coffee was heavenly.

There you go.
