I'm having a writing day with Ary and Nelson. It also happens to be International Talk Like a Pirate Day. If you know Ary and Nelson, you know they are dressed as pirates (Nelson even has the eyepatch) and both are using a lot of "Aye"s and "Avast!"s in normal conversation. Or they were, anyway - they've sort of left off that for the past little while.

Writing days are interesting. Very little writing actually gets done - we pretty much just sit in McClurg and play games on gsn.com. Surprisingly, I've written nearly two pages - a feat unrivaled in the history of our writing days.

Nelson just finished recording a message to his mother, in Italian, with a piratical accent. Yeah, he's weird.

Ary's reading Breaking Dawn and making a lot of random squeaks and squawks in reaction to what she's reading. This is normal.

And I... I'm thinking about baby Grim Reapers and what one should do when one finds such a thing in a graveyard on Halloween. Is that scary?
