NaNoWriMo and Kahlo

NaNoWriMo Update:
As of 11:59 p.m. on 11/04 I have 4,265 words ("'Quo Tah'? What is this 'Quo Tah' of which you speak?")

Morale:
Good (in denial). I have next Monday off work...if I haven't made up the deficit by the end of that day, then I'll panic. In the meantime - hooray, I wrote more.

Today's good excuse for not meeting my quota:
Instead of going straight home to write after work, I went to a reception at the Seattle Art Museum and saw the exhibition on Mexican Modernism.

To write at length about it would be stealin' novel time, so instead I will just mention that while I was there I bought a book of Frida Kahlo temporary tattoos. Next Halloween I will put one in particular on my forehead and go as "Jane with Frida with Diego on Her Mind."

Favorite passage of the day:
Nothing I wrote today was anywhere near as cool as the very idea of Frida Kahlo temporary tattoos.
