Traffic

It just took me 45 minutes to drive half a mile. And for no reason I could see, no construction, no accident, nothing, just like a bunch of people and the people in front of them decided to just stop in the road for no reason. I could blame traffic lights, except I sat without moving through one and a half cycles of the traffic light in question.

I guess people just didn't want to drive?

Magazines

I'm considering suggesting to people they buy me some magazine subscriptions as gifts, 'cause there's not a whole lot I want, and it'd make sure I have more sources of information besides just piping the Internet directly to my brain.

The question is, which magazines would be worth getting? The list I'm considering so far is Fortean Times, Adbusters, and New Scientist. What other good magazines are out there with info about all sorts of interesting things?

On Writing

It's often a lot easier to write if you go and not write for a while first. Like go for a walk or something.

It's also easier to get writing done if you turn off most of the Internet. This is probably why I'm still 10K behind on nano.
