So I finally finished Chapter 9 of my novel and I'm reading it and thinking, "Yes indeed I am writing a love story." Check out the chapter ending.

"I looked at him straight in my eyes, fully surrendering in my mind my whole being to him. Raker leaned over and brushed his lips lightly against mine, acknowledging his victory and secretly smiling about the victory celebration that we both knew would happen later that night."

Sick isn't it? Sickey love story chapter ending.

Three more chapters to go. Chapter 10 is from the guy's POV, and that's the chapter they get it on and have some major WMS.

This novel is taking way too long to write. It's going to be around 200 typed pages I think. That's a lot of writing for me.

The December election doesn't seem that far away, but I've already received my democrat primary absentee ballot for the primary in March.

What a joy ... I get to vote for the democratic party nominee for the office of the President.

I think I'll wait until election day in March to vote, and just walk the ballot over to the local polling place.

I liked Wesley Clark, but he's a fading fast. I think the best ticket will be Kerry/Edwards, but Edwards says he won't take th VP spot. The rumors are flying now that perhaps General Wesley Clark entered the race to get the VP spot.

Kerry/Clark? Hmmmmmm ...

This is a great read on why San Francisco has the housing problems and the homeless population it does, A Tale Worth Retelling: When an elderly man left the city millions to build apartments for homeless old folks, neighbors tried to block the project. Fortunately, they failed.

The weight loss has been going way too slowly, so I got desperate and joined ediets.com. It's only $5 a week, although I had to pay for three months up front.

It's tailored so you can pick all kinds of weight plans, from Atkins to The Zone to Dr. Phil. They make it really easy if you're a convenience food eater, because there's a whole list of frozen foods you can eat. There's also a fast food option if you want that.

I've already found out I can eat two slices of Pizza Hut (there's one in the hood) Thin and Crispy pepperoni pizza and still follow their plan. I miss eating pizza!

I think my problem is I've been cheating way too much, and I've been in a diet rut. The ediets.com recommendation for me is to consume 1,200 - 1,300 calories a day if I'm a light exerciser. Exercising more will increase the calorie intake for the day.

I can cancel any time I want, so if I can't follow it I'll quit. I do like that you can substitute freely, and it has recipes if I feel like cooking.
