Currently in November // 2017

This is one of those posts that I MEANT TO POST awhile ago, but I kept thinking of things to add to it, and then I FORGOT ABOUT IT, and I had to make sure my new stuff made sense with the old stuff in the post... and you know.
In other words, some of these things are a little out-of-date.
Anyways, here is what I've been up to these past couple of weeks.

Sorry to disappoint all of you, but I am 100% NOT doing NaNoWriMo this year. I tried to do it once, like 3 years ago, but it did not end well.
  • There was no rough draft.
  • There was no book.
  • There was no contract signed with a publishing company.
  • There was no Interview on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, in which I discussed my character developments and story processing.
And I'm not in the mood to not do all of that again this year. :P
Perhaps next year, though! I do want to do it someday. I just have to get all of my thoughts and plots and characters together, and that is no easy task.
The only thing I've written this month are grocery lists, a few blog post notes, and a small letter to a friend. That is all.
Also my Christmas list. For my mom.

~The Help, by Kathrine Stockett. 
And guys. It. is. so. good.
~The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer, which I'm not finished with, but it has been very sweet so far. Also, bravo to them for the outlandish name *claps emphatically*
  ~A few enjoyable posts, written by you guys!

~Iron Man. I know, aren't I so brave for coming out of my shell and trying another superhero movie? I suppose so! 
Yes, yes, I'm brave and all that, but did I like the movie? Well............ not a lot. I liked Tony Stark. But the rest ... meh. I just find superhero movies boring. I know, I know. You think I have no class. You think I'm just plain STUPID, perhaps. 
But my grandma always said: "TO EACH HIS OWN".
#so there 
Anyways. Other things I've watched:
 
~Sherlock BBC. Which is amazing. As usual.
~The Imitation Game (you might remember my opinions on the movie from this post)
~Spider-Man: Homecoming. Watched it with my best friend. Which was quite fun. 
~Monk (not all the episodes... but some.) Such a fun show.
~The Help. Because I just read the book, and wanted to watch the movie again. I didn't understand it when I watched it the first time because I was quite young. 
~This rather amusing (albeit pointless) video from Good Mythical MorningBlowtorching Bananas. 
(Don't ask; I am easily amused in spite of my interminable high standards).   

 
  ~Hawaiian food; because a friend of mine owns a Hawaiian food truck, and it's quite delicious.
~Homemade puppy chow.
~Thanksgiving stuff: You know; chocolate pie, turkey, potatoes and stuff. 
~Homemade chili (which is quite good).
 ~Quinoa salad (healthy and delicious at the same time = win and win).
 
From Tumblr

 
(Not to worry, it's not me)
~A funny thing happened with my car (Not 'haha' funny, but the other kind of funny. You know). One night on my way home from somewhere, I was adjusting my headlights, but I must have adjusted them real good because what do you know, the next morning my car was dead as a door-nail.

 I had apparently left the headlights on all night. :P
(I know. How brilliant of me).
I couldn't get to work until (thankfully) a neighbor happened to see my trouble and help me get her started again with some jumper cables. 
I know, I know. "What a very silly thing for you to do, Amaris!" But look at it this way: that's one mistake I will never make again for sure.
And thankfully, everything turned out ok.

From a show I have not yet seen.
 
~ For Christmas presents. Which I can't talk about, because #spoilers.

~For The Good Doctor (ABC) to come to Netflix; because I don't have TV so I can't watch it until it either comes out on DVD, or on Netflix. So until one of those things happen, I can't watch it. Which is sad because it looks so good. (Plus, you guys. It's the chocolate kid all grown up! I feel so old right now...).
~For Owl City, Cinematic (refer to the next paragraph to hear about this one)
~To go to the theater to watch Murder on the Orient Express; because it's been a long time since I've been to the movie theater. Plus, I never enjoyed Hercule Poirot books all that much, and I want to see if a movie will make me like him better.

From weheartit
~NOT TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC.
(AT LEAST TRYING NOT TO)

~To song previews of Owl City's new album, Cinematic.Which is coming out like a million years from now... June 2018. Hopefully I won't die before then. :(
But anyways, the previews sound great.


*heavy breathing*

Anyways, that's about it! It seriously took me forever to finish this post. :P I just kept coming back to it, and forgetting about it...
But here it is; here you go.
I hope you enjoyed. 
If you made it this far, that is.

  1. This post is hilarious! It's like a continuous flow of thought and I love reading these kinds of posts. :D

    Okay, that "dying" section was great. I was totally taken off guard with that random title and you had me laughing as you explained. ;)

    Soooo, do I tell you now or later that I've been listening to Christmas music since the middle of September... Apparently you only want Christmas music starting December 1st? Hahaha.

      I'm glad you were amused! :D Yes, it wasn't me that died; thankfully it was only just my car.

      CHRISTMAS MUSIC. SINCE THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER.
      HOW.
      Ok well, this is my method (at least I TRY to do it this way; a lot of store radios say no): Christmas music for the whole week of Christmas... and that's it.
      Except for occasionally whenever I happen to be doing a Christmas-Related-Activity in December.
      AND ONLY THEN. :D
      Thanks for the comment!

    2. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!! ONLY through the week of Christmas?! Christmas music is my favorite music. (Of course I have a better and wider selection of it than you'll find on the radio...so if this is a radio selection issue, I get it.) But if this is just about Christmas music...!! It would be me that died, not your car. Hahaha.

    3. NOPE I AIN'T KIDDING. I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF MONTHS OF CHRISTMAS MUSIC. :D
      It's not just the radio Christmas music I'm tired of; I also get tired of so many versions of Christmas songs, on the radio or otherwise. :P
      DON'T DIE, CORDY!!
      XD

  3. Dying: (not me, I promise)
    IT BETTER NOT BE YOU. GIVE ME A PHONE CALL AT LEAST TO TELL ME YOU WERE DYING! BUT NOOO, I HAD TO FIND OUT FROM YOUR BLOG.

    I can't wait for Cinematic. I like the sound of 'House Wren'. It reminds me of Mount Rushmore. I'm really looking forward to hearing the full 'Always'. That sounds really lovely. 'Winners Never Quit' and 'New York City' sound very classic Owl City-ish.
    OH, and 'Cinematic'! AND 'MONTANA'!!! You know what, I'm just excited for all of it. :) Even 'All My Friends'.

    SPIDAH-MAN, SPIDAH-MAN, FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDAH-MAN!
    Love that movie. I wish there weren't so many cuss-words, though. :/
    "ADRIAN!"

    Gotta go. Think I left the stove on.

      IT WASN'T ME THAT WAS DYING THOUGH SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FREAK OUT.
      Yes. Cinematic. Come soon please. (sincerely, every Owl City fan).

      Yes. Cuss words. Ew. Go. Away. (drat those foul mouthed hussies from Hollywood)
      You betteh turn that stove off! If you don't you'll be poisoned AND burned!

  4. I just saw Murder on the Orient Express on Monday! It is ssssoooo good! You should go see it!! Well, I do like the books, so there may be something there, but even my dad liked the movie and he won't even try the books. If you see it let me know what you think! :D

      Oh cool!I'm glad it's a good movie. It looks very interesting!
      I also want to see that other one... I can't remember what it's called... something like 'the first showman' or whatever, about the guy who starts the circus. THAT ONE looks good too. :)
      Thanks for the comment!
