Weekly Roundup – Free thinkers, action figures, and Voldemort

~ A quick recap of things around Empire Earth over the past week.

THERE WILL BE NO WEEKLY ROUNDUP NEXT WEEK, 28 NOVEMBER, AS IT IS BLACK FRIDAY.
 ~ As soon as I get home from work, I’m sleeping.
NaNoWriMo

I did it! I managed to write 50,000 words before Thanksgiving. I waded my way through Time’s defensive line and snagged myself a touchdown on Tuesday! It’s been a crazy ride, and I had a blast tweeting about it on Twitter. I haven’t finished the story yet, and I plan to do NaNoWriMo’s validation step later on this month.

This week in…
Geekdom
I went ahead and bought myself a preemptive Christmas present.

I can never pass up a good deal on action figures, especially on ones that I’ve been pining after for what feels like ages! The flash drowns out Thranduil, making him seem dull, but the details in him are nice. They did a fantastic job. Oh, and he *is* wearing pants underneath that.

Next we have Elrond. I was blown away with the amount of detail in this action figure. Every last millimeter of him is etched with intricate elements. As for pants…I have no idea. The package arrived yesterday, and it was dark by the time I got home! It was dark by the I got home today as well. They are either white, or he is a freer thinker than we are led to believe.

Currently Reading
More like currently writing! I probably won’t read anything this month. I haven’t touched the poor book I borrowed from the library last week. I may end up returning it and borrowing it again in a few months.

Matters of Opinion
My blunt, unabashed thoughts in 140 characters or less:
I’m not feeling particularly political tonight. I would like a chair with a built in heater though.
