Fit of madness

I am attempting to write my novel in a month. I do this by blogging?

Uhm, kiwiNoWriMo that's Kiwi Novel Writing Month, a spin-off from the American NaNoWriMo which happens in August. It is good to have a deadline and to make little tickers that fill up as you go. It's just the kind of incentive I needed to pick up my book again and start hammering away at the first draft.

In other news, Mr Vintage has a sale on via Ferrit. . Lee bought the Cobra Kai hoodie for himself and the 'Word to your mogwai' tshirt for me. It only lasts until tomorrow so be quick!

Real Groovy has some of the same tshirts and stuff as Mr Vintage as well, at exactly the same prices. They had the Cobra Kai hoodie in Medium but it was a bit stretched out and manky from being on a hanger.

Trade Aid aren't going to be stocking No Sweat sneakers any more. The reasons given to me are as follows: The 'no sweat' company is making profit, and Trade Aid prefers to help struggling people, the shoe factory is being moved from Jakarta to...somewhere else, and third no one in New Zealand was really buying the sneakers.

The upshot of that is that they are currently on sale at half price, so I bought a pair of red and a pair of black and that should last me a while.

I can't get over how cold it is in Wellington now. I freeze. I freeze like a sad little kitten left out in the snow. i.e. with much pathetic whining.

Finally, I braved the Illicit store in town and found their stuff to be not as prohibitively expensive as I had thought. Plus, they had some familiar Sock Dreams stock there; a bunch of sourpuss stuff - socks, arm warmers and gloves all reasonably priced, some pantyhose and stockings that I recognised from the site and the lace-up fishnet gloves I bought Rachel last year. So, that was a surprise. I may have to go back and stock up, since I absolutely love my sourpuss socks.
