“I pity da fool who don’t finish NoBloPoMo !”
Hair crises aside, I guess I’ve got some ’splaining to do.
1. I missed A WHOLE DAY without posting.
2. This is the unpardonable sin in the NoBloPoMo cult.
3. It’s not my fault !
It’s not my fault, unless you count buying a 200 year old house with an electrical installation dating from the early 1900’s and living in said house for a year and a half thinking, like, eventually we’ll get around to rewiring it. I mean, it isn’t that big a deal when you plug in your toaster and sparks fly across the room is it? That’s what I thought ! Until yesterday, when I attempted to switch on a light which caused a lightbulb to explode and the lights in the rest of the house to simultaneously cease to function.
24 hours later : We are eating dinner by candlelight, grateful for the fact that the fridge and the oven are on another circut. The electrician who was supposed to come tonight hasn’t shown up yet, it is 9 p.m. In France, having an electrician after 9 p.m. is about as likely as a cat giving birth to a puppy.
Isn’t it possible to past-date a post. Time travel is possible. I pitty the fool who says you cant.
I’ve been waiting for just such a thing to happen to me. I think NaBloPoMo will excuse you if you get a note from your electrician.
I’d have missed a day had I not thought ahead and set up LoudTwitter to automatically copy my days’ Twitter posts (Tweets) to my blog (livejournal). This one is the only post on that day!

All you will miss, really, is the chance to win a freebie/prize. Can you not backdate a post about the electrician (like this post) to that day? ;-p
