I got out of bed at eight this morning, fed the cats, watched some Tivo while eating Cheerios, and started on the housework. Brian joined me shortly thereafter and we did a good job af cleaning the apartment. After all, houseguests next week! After lunch, I went downtown to the main library and returned some […]

Wow, this new Mountain Goats record is really lovely and really sad. Excellent! Leonard, please avoid it. Allison is being awesome by tracking down a copy of Is This Real? by the Wipers for me. I could have sworn I used to own it, or maybe I played it so many times on my old […]

Well, the Giants are out of it. Bastards. Not that we didn’t all kind of see this coming after that nine-game losing streak a couple months ago. Ugh. And hey Oakland A’s, wtf? That’s all I have to say about THAT. I am ashamed of the huge stack of unread New Yorker magazines on my […]

Just a reminder, I have not had any caffeinated beverages in eighteen days. No coffee, no diet coke, etc. Yeah. One of the main parts of this “experiment” was to see if it would have any effect on my complexion. Results pending! Oh, and I will go back to coffee next month. I really love […]

Haven’t done this in awhile — current word count is: 58,415 That’s a lot of words! It’s still a first draft, and only a third done. I have been writing a lot this week, making quite a few major revisions, all of which I am pleased with. I am learning a lot from my advisors. […]

On my second cup of green tea today. It’s been twelve days without coffee. I have developed a small chest cold recently, but my skin may be clearing up. It’s hard to discern any real effects until thirty days have passed, though. I have my new black trench coat, and it’s a beauty. Fits marvelously, […]
