Yeah, I need to get back in the habit. I have been working on this fictional piece where the protagonist is blogging her experiences daily, but I recently abandoned that idea, mainly because it seemed like kind of a “cute” device and anyway, blogs traditionally do not expose very many intimate, internal experiences or ideas, and if they do, they tend to be (to me) kind of embarrassing to read.

Anyway. We ran through the pouring rain tonight and it was okay — because it’s just water. The USA did not advance in the WBC and it was okay — because they could not have beaten Korea anyway. I did not go to the gym today and it was okay — because I went for the three previous days. See? It’s okay!

Right now I am watching “Entertainment Tonight” on mute and wondering how these people live with themselves, especially after having had their personalities surgically removed and replaced by cybernetic devices. Yes, I am talking mainly about Mary Hart and Mark Steines. I mean, what is it like walking around with a face made completely out of latex? Do they go home at night and weep for three hours, purge violently, and pop a Xanax? You know they do. Oh, but first they probably roll around in a pile of money.

We went to our accountant tonight to drop off our tax stuff. Looks like we will just break even. I’m glad to be spared all that math and thinking, especially since we are filing jointly for the first time. Next year we will most likely go ahead and do it ourselves though. Our accountant is pretty cool. Two minutes after meeting him he was telling us how he had his esophagous removed last year and that his stomach attached somewhere around his clavicle. He also wears dual hearing aids, which was great for me because as it so happens, one of the main characters in the story I’ve been messing with also wears a hearing aid. I took a few mental pictures. Did not ask about battery life.

My boss spent most of the day talking about college basketball and checking scores. Work is hard.
