I don't think there is any way I can finish this today. Currently, I'm up to 20K. I suppose I could have been further along if I didn't do my laundry or go grocery shopping. I might try to finish this tomorrow--either early morning or in snatches during lab when things are incubating. So far, I had some ninjas make an appearance as well as having Cthulhu crashing a cephalopod convention. The pirates have been plotting about a takeover. Cthulhu might make another appearance, but I'm not sure yet. And dang it, I still don't have any idea where my plot is going.
