The to-do list I made at 5:30 this morning (1. Funny how a four-month-old kitten burrowing under the covers to attack one’s bare feet works just as well as a kettle of cold water getting dumping over one’s head in terms of efficient wake-up methods; 2. Funny also how despite several so-called productivity apps on [...]

Nothing productive happens after 7:00 pm

Someone called me a “real writer” today, and not as a joke! I haven’t felt like a writer in a while, though — writers write, and I haven’t really been doing that, except for here, which … doesn’t count for some reason? OK, that’s crazy talk. And then I don’t have time to write a [...]

Today’s agenda
January 2nd, 2012 · No Comments · stuff
I have today off, and the one concession I’m making to the fact that it’s Monday is I put on a bra. Otherwise I’m treating this day like Lazy Sunday: Director’s Cut. I’m going to reheat some hoppin’ john for lunch, watch an episode of Downton Abbey to prepare for the second season, make good [...]

Up at 7:15, not hungover (woo hoo!) but my back is half out the door (did that make sense? I’ve only had half a travel mug’s worth of coffee and I’m not sure if that makes sense. I mean to say it’s like I threw my back out, but it’s not as bad as that. [...]
Slow blog day
July 24th, 2011 · No Comments · stuff
Today’s been slow. Not a bad thing, really. I’ve been slowly moving files from the old computer to the new, realizing that I’d exchanged space for speed and power, so I’ve ordered a couple new external hard drives; one for media and one for backups. I still can’t get over how LIGHT this laptop is. [...]

Random Wednesday

Is that still a thing? Well, if it’s not, I’m bringing it back. Party of one. I figured something out on my way home from work today: my theory that writing generates more writing; i.e., the more I write the more I am likely to be inspired to write more things, is absolutely true, but [...]

Day off
July 19th, 2011 · 1 Comment · stuff
I didn’t have to go into the office today and it’s been a relaxing day in yoga pants and ratty t-shirt, reading and writing and learning about Rupert Murdoch’s pie incident and checking in with Google+, which I am liking more and more the more I use it. I am now writing this post on [...]

Yesterday I went into Manhattan — this is rare, especially on weekends, when I tend to hunker down and get real familiar with the couch . . . oh, who am I kidding, the couch and I have been on obscenely intimate terms for a while now, which wouldn’t be an issue except for all [...]

Random Saturday Weekly Wrap Up or Whatever
July 16th, 2011 · 1 Comment · stuff
This turned out to be an extremely pleasant, happy week. Not that that’s such a rarity for me, but since it was a week I worked every day (except yesterday), in a place where the air conditioning unit was broken (heh…unit) and the temps at the beginning of the week were stultifyingly hot as balls [...]
