I didn’t realize that it had been almost two weeks since my last post. So … I made it to almost three weeks of posting every weekday. I think that’s a new personal record, and I’m not going to sweat the fact that I stopped posting. Basically I just wanted to put this here because [...]

I am full and sleepy and not ready for writing.
January 13th, 2012 · No Comments · writing
Before I left to meet a friend for lunch I started writing today’s post, but finishing it means going down a not very pleasant part of memory lane and I’m not emotionally there yet. I want to write it, I feel like it will be good for me to write it, but it’s 4:30 and [...]

Learning to Code
January 10th, 2012 · No Comments · writing
I joined Code Year 2012 yesterday. Not (necessarily) in an effort to improve myself, by which I mean my chances at finding full-time or more freelance employment, but primarily because my love for learning new things has been somewhat reclusive of late, unwilling to take chances or risks for fear of … something. Failure, probably. [...]

An ordinary morning
January 5th, 2012 · No Comments · writing
The past couple days have been lovely, blogwise. I got back to writing first thing in the morning — well, first thing after the cats are fed and the coffee’s made — and it was early enough that it was just me and my laptop, cats sitting quietly nearby, no street noise and a dusky [...]

Once more into the breach or whatever.
December 1st, 2011 · No Comments · writing
New month, new goals, one more chance this year at a regular writing schedule, no idea what to write. I blame AMC for creating a situation that caused Mad Men to delay its fifth season for six months. I could tell you more about the kittens, who are in their eighth week and healthy and [...]

I don’t know why I do this to myself.
November 1st, 2011 · 2 Comments · writing
So I wasn’t planning on participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I had a disappointing turn last year, and even though I went back to that novel-in-progress over the past year I never finished it and I got bored with it (even though there were certain things I liked about it). And I stopped updating this [...]

Happy anniversary, Brooklyn.
August 8th, 2011 · No Comments · city life, writing
I totally blew past an important anniversary a couple weeks ago. This is why memory is stupid. I can remember completely unimportant stuff, like my first phone number and the birthday of my first crush (in third grade, thank you — so wait, actually that makes him my second crush. No, third. OK, I got [...]

So, how’s your recession going?
August 1st, 2011 · No Comments · writing
Don’t worry, I’m not gonna start waxing political. I know enough to get by in polite cocktail party conversation, but as soon as it starts devolving into HEATED DEBATE I don’t have the facts to back up my statements. I guess very few people do. But informed discussion is important to me, so. (Though I [...]

Random Wednesday
July 27th, 2011 · No Comments · writing
And thank goodness for that, cause writing a cohesive post about anything right now is a bit beyond me. Random #1: Though you know why I like blogging after work? Because I get to mix myself a drink first. It’s like a little treat for me, extra incentive, to sit at the computer and do [...]
