I apologize if I don’t have any non-ANTM posts ready in advance because I’m working on NaNoWriMo.  Again.  But I’ve decided to forgo the founder’s advice on writing a novel (i.e. the following:

You will also, however, write some flagrantly nonsensical chapters, create pages and pages of dialogue that make you cry (in a bad way), and endure a few shameful days where the only thing keeping your word-count afloat is the fact that your protagonist has a habit of reading the dictionary aloud whenever she gets nervous. And she’s always nervous.

This is totally fine.

No, this is not.  If a character is reading the dictionary aloud in your novel and you didn’t have a plan to begin with, your novel will suck.  Point blank.)

I’ve got some ideas I’ll work on for some non-ANTM posts: a thing I wanted to talk about on Halloween, but I didn’t have it put together and some of Weezer’s weirdest collaborations (Muppets, Hugh Hefner & the Playboy Mansion, Leighton Meester), some other things.  If there are weeks that the only things you see on this blog are ANTM posts, I’m busy doing other things (which may or may not be my novel, which I hope will be salvageable because I’m listening to myself and not some word-count obsessed PTB.  And speaking of Meester, well, maybe I should apologize to Blair Waldorf, because the swooning thing is not exclusive to Gossip Girl; it’s in Meester’s new music video for “Somebody to Love” (with Robin Thicke, to premiere on the CW’s Gossip Girl music page after next week’s threesome episode of Gossip Girl).

Other than this video of Meester fighting over Tamagotchis, I have not seen anything not-Gossip Girl related with Meester in it, so I don’t know how long she has done the Meester Swoon™.  So am I to assume every time Meester swoons, she gets an orgasm?  I certainly hope she does, because it’ll be a small condolence to my worried soul.
