Today, I...

...got out of bed.
...put on clothes.
...did laundry.
...left the house to buy cat food and litter and ice cream and noodles.
...wrote 4,000 words of Still Catch the Tide, which is going really well so far, even if it's really rough at the same time ( Read more... )

Got woken up by cousins calling my phone at two in the morning, and again at three, four, and six-thirty. Nice people, some of us sleep. Please remember that, because some of us also hit. Hitting is much more fun for me than it is for you, at least when I'm the one doing it. So cut that out, if you would be so very kind, and spare my knuckles a ( Read more... )

Friday morning initially started with a last gasp of Thursday, as the arrival of my roommates for the weekend woke me for about thirty seconds.

It's orange and green, it has a door that I can close, it gets natural light, and since it's actually being designed, rather than just sort of organically happening, my stuff is, on the whole, better sorted and in much more useful places than those same things were in the old room. All of this is ( Read more... )

People have been looking at me blankly over this, so here's the situation ( Read more... )

Kate and I have dared the Bed, Bath and Beyond, and I have come away poorer by about seventy bucks, but richer by orange and green sheets with matching pillowcases, and a really nice green light cotton blanket that should be much more comfortable than my sleeping bag during this colder phase of the year ( Read more... )
