"Find My Family"
Despite the hokey tree on a hill this show made me cry miserably.
This episode they're trying to reunite a family in Wisconsin- the parents gave up their baby because they were teenagers and now it's 29 years later and they've tried everything they could to find their baby, but nothing has paid off. ABC manages to find the girl and sets the family to meet on a random lush hilltop with a huge oak tree at the top.
It's tearjerker enough, but I haven't been able to find my biological family either, so it doubly got to me. The last time I tried really hard was a few years ago- it's not that I don't love my family, but I'm curious.

New Waterhouse
I thought I knew Waterhouse's paintings pretty well, but apparently there's always at least one more of anything.
Sorry for the crazy hugeness, but it's such a great painting.
Anyway, one of the guy's in this year's Nano, he's a painter. So I poked around online a bit to find things in the style I thought he'd do, found a few good portraits from the era. And right now he's working on a portrait of Ophelia, using the heroine as a model, so I went to look for more art. And I found that, which is pretty astounding. In the book it's Ophelia sitting by the lake, on a bench. As for the real life painting, I really like how Waterhouse did her hair, and expression.

Crazy Success
Nanowrimo is crazy this year. I'm on Day 7, I'm on Day 17's word count. I haven't been able to write much of anything since I finished Rome, and this is just... Going like crazy. I sit down and move the mouse and there's 1,000 words, I get another Diet Pepsi and there's 1,300 more words.
I wrote something like... 9,000 words today. Er. Yesterday. Friday. Whatever.
My hands hurt a little, but other than that this year's Nanowrimo is like cutting butter with a hot knife.
The only thing I'm worried about is how long it'll be in the end. It does not feel like I'm in the middle of the story (I'm at 28,344 right now, if you're reading this in the future) even though I'm in the middle of the words required.
Meh. Sleepytimes.
