Buckaroo Banzai!

November 2008:

Crazy or not (ok, crazy), I am taking on the challenge of NaNoWriMo —short for National Novel Writing Month—and will attempt my next writing project by setting a goal of 50,000 words in the month of November.  I’ve been kicking around an idea for the past year, and it seems a good way to jump in!  Keep up with my word count as the month passes here...I will be updating it daily.  I hope. 

Let’s see: my calculator says that comes to 1666.6666666666666666666666667

words per day.

¨ My book site, Finding Katherine, click HERE.  (you’ll find Chapter One there…)

 

¨ My International Adoption Resource site, International Adoption News, click HERE.

 

¨ My publishing company website, Mindful Media, LLC, click HERE.

      (that site is also under construction, but I’m a busy girl.  I’ll get to it…)

 

¨ Plus, I’m a mommy 24/7.  No website needed.

 

And, for those curious-types among you, why does it say ‘Buckaroo Banzai!’ up top? 

Well, it’s a concept from a now-cult (apparently, as I just found out while surfing), little-remembered  movie from 1984 called:

 

“The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension”

 

...‘nuff said.

Katherine at the Richmond Highland Games, November ‘08:

 

Here are a couple of video clips of Katherine dancing with her Irish dancing school’s Performing Company.  They’re the first clips that I’ve tried to take from my new phone, so the quality’s not so hot, but it’s the first chance for some family to see her dance…

(still working on getting the video working, but check back)

 

 

 

 

 

They’re followed by a clip of another event that day of Ferret Legging.  What’s Ferret Legging you say?  Well, that’s what I said when I saw it listed on the event schedule a week before we went.  I was even more curious after I found this article about it after a google:    Ferret Legging, by Wes Jones (Warning, mildly, but hilariously, vulgar).

Upright and upstanding, er, sitting, at the office…

Now...where did that skydiving shot get to??? I didn’t jump out of a perfectly good airplane twenty times for nuthin’!
