Spray cheese
Thursday, November 20, 2008
Okay, this post is not about spray cheese, but I couldn't help but notice that in my current WIP I make three references to spray cheese:
"She felt about as attractive as a can of spray cheese."
"He spotted her right away; her beach towel was the color of spray cheese."
And, my personal favorite:
" 'And you invented spray cheese too, right?' Tess said as she glared at the dark-haired girl."
So it looks like NaNo brings out the spray cheese in me. Ugh. Now there's a quote for you. LOL
And no, I haven't yet caught up to where I "should" be with the novel's word count, but I'm still okay with it. There's oodles of November left. Gulp.
Speaking of November, winter has officially arrived at Casa Staring. There is snow on the ground -- the serious stuff that looks all nice and puffy until you try to walk or drive on it. Somehow I always forget that winter happens here, every year.
DH and I snuck off for a romantic matinee screening of The Quantum of Solace yesterday. There are no spoilers in this post, so relax.
Bonnie's review for The Quantum of Solace: James Bond had way too much clothing on.
I mean, the guy is in the middle of the desert and he leaves his suit jacket and shirt on? What gives? And what's with him wearing white or beige pants everywhere? Sure, he can pull it off, but it's not like he's on a cruise ship getting ready for the shuffleboard circuit. Sheesh.
That's all I'm gonna say about it.

Love the review. We hope to catch the movie this weekend. Maybe!
Oh, and maybe you are a secret spray cheese eater? Hmm...what's that hiding in the back of your fridge? :)
I had a spray cheese incident just recently.
I was editing a historical and I realized I named everyone in the village and everyone around Scotland Gilchrist.
Every one had the name Gilchrist, except the hero, heroine and his brother.
It's the whole misplaced comma thing eh?
No spray cheese for me, Alexandra. But if they had spray tubes of the stuff in the middle of Oreos, I'd be in BIG trouble!
LOL Amy! I can just imagine the scene now, your heroine is on her balcony, calling out her lover's name... when 45 men reply! There's a Python sketch in there somewhere. ;)
:::still chuckling over the shocking parentage of a child due to a missing comma:::
I concur. Bond had on way too many clothes. They seriously need a woman in charge of wardrobe.
If it were me, I'd have the entire thing set in a nudist colony ;)
And that Bond film would be titled Quantum of Shirtless... and Pantless.
