@Ashwin Mudigonda: Huh. I wrote three novels in three months over three years of NaNoWriMo. Once you murder that internal editor it gets super easy.
I got a keyboard for $3 at Goodwill that's been with me for 5 NaNos and 1.15 college degrees. I like it 'cause it's clacky!

This will be my ninth November writing a novel (three wins, five fails, learned more about life and myself doing the fails than the wins).
My best advice after eight go-rounds with the NaNo? Kill your internal editor. Terminate with extreme prejudice. Conk on the head with a rock and feed through a woodchipper.
Also? Write or Die
The main NaNoWriMo site usually has a period of instability on Nov. 1st as everyone rushes to log in/log words/sign up/et cetera. Watch the @NaNoWriMo twitter feed for more information.

"We get hints that River Song might be more than just the Doctor's wife, and might even be a future incarnation of the Doctor himself. (Although, why didn't she regenerate then?)"
Any proper Doctor Who fan knows that Time Lords only get 13 regenerations. If you want to play proper solipisim with other people's universes, you need to know the rules.
Mark Sheppard. 'nuff said.
Um, sweetie? That's Rutger Hauer in that clip, not Donald Sutherland.
Oh, good. I was afraid that my 100% streak of "i09 Hates It, but Boy Do I Love It!" would break with this film. I thought it was too pretty, too much of an original concept attached to an old idea, and you'd possibly bend a little and let yourselves enjoy it. Good to know y'all haven't changed one bit.
I liked the Kraken better when it was in Cloverfield.
@collex: I would totally marry you just for the tango.
You think too much when you go to the movies.
That's just creepy. It's like she chopped the head off a furry and is wearing it as a trophy.
I do believe in the X-Files movie, it was UFO 'sightings', not 'sitings'.
For everyone wondering why, a little Google clears that right up. From here:
Howard Roffman of Lucas Licensing, the company that licenses toys based on the Star Wars saga, appeared at the NYSE Thursday morning to celebrate his company's three-decade-long stint running the number-one licensed toy brand in the country.
It's the X-Files in Maine!
I do like my Peek Pronto, which not only handles Twitter, but my several Gmail accounts without the added lure of the whole Internet. I'm an Internet addict, I admit it, and my Peek Pronto is my methadone.
Yes, I do believe there is already a word for Bella's behavior-- 'passive-aggressive'.
Ponytails = Evil. Good to know.
I see it nominated for a Sound Oscar just for that bit with the sound fading in and out in the water. But I'm not going to see it, I'm just not that into it.
@Barnabus: HEY! No making my state fall into the ocean! It's a pretty state, full of trees and hipsters-- hm, can we arrange for just the hipster-infused areas to fall into the ocean?
@Grim Reaper of the Forest: Oddly enough, they don't sell doughnut holes at Voodoo Doughnuts. They do sell chocolate-covered Cock'n'Balls with cream filling. #badvertising
@Alohamaid: They do sell briefs in their shops, too. Y'all need to come to Portland and have a Voodoo Doughnut, specifically the Cock'n'Balls. #badvertising
