I SAW FLURRIES THIS AFTERNOON ON MY WAY TO WORK. I'M NOT KIDDING. FUCK ME.

Actually, I love this weather. Nice and cool and the light is soft instead of blinding. The air is clean clean clean after the smogfest that is summer in Toronto. My neighbourhood smells faintly of woodsmoke. Love it. And since the temperature has actually been dropping at night we have some lovely red colours in the city for a change. It's beautiful.

I've been seeing these all over town and I finally hunted down the website. Cool. The flying bus on Queen St and the cityscape near my house are my favourites.

Still snorfling, but mostly better. I started trying to write my Nanowrimo project and it sucked. Whoo Nelly, was it bad. Stilted and awkward and no fun to write. Then I switched over from third person to first person perspective and it's flowing like cream.

I've been doing that yeast diet thing. I don't think I really have a yeast problem because I havent' gotten any of the really nasty side-effects I read about. So that's that theory shot. On the other hand, I also haven't had headaches or stomach pains since I started the eating restrictions, so I'm doing something right.

Although I'd kill a man for a slice of pizza right about now.

So in other words, life is pretty good.

(Oh yeah, and all you people who read "furries" in the first line? You need to get off the internet for a while.)

this would never fly around here. even though it makes things look better!

are you doing the all-out yeast diet where you cut out wheat? because if so, that might be why you're feeling better; a lot of people don't digest wheat well and feel tons better when they cut it out.

after my two-week detox i have to say a lot of the problems i was having resolved themselves. it wasn't as drastic as i might have liked but it definitely resulted in some improvements.

Yep. No sugar, wheat, dairy, eggs, yeast and nothing "aged" like vingears. I'm on day 13 or so and I figured I'd start introducing things back in a couple of day to see how it goes.

I started off with a four-day fast. I was kind of surprised that I never really got hungry. Guess I needed the break.

Oh dear...

I KNEW IT!

I had the opposite Nano experience. I started with a first person perspective and realized within the first 500 words that it wasn't working and switched to third person. Definitely better.

What's your word count? I'm at 2429 with about another 90 minues of writing to go before bed.

I figure it really is All About Me, so it seems to work better when I approach it that way.

I don't even have a thousand words yet, but I haven't really been home to do it.
