All garb is ritual garb." @ Daily Kos: Guns, God and Incitement. via pondside * 15min: declutter in office: envelopes in the sinister pile. * order "10 days to self-esteem" for Kat (Amazon) @ The Pleasure Principle: Not All Products Need To Be Painkillers "So whats my point? If you focus only on painkillers, youll likely miss out on a completely different, and potentially much larger, set of opportunities: those that target pleasure. Pornography, sports and coffee are, for example, three insanely lucrative industries, and each of them sells the promise of pleasure." "I believe that a focus on solving pain points alone leads to linear thinking that suppresses innovation." * dishes. More office decluttering. More dishes. Sink clear before noon. @ Ravan's Rants - A Note on the Giffords Shooting * buy: pantsu, -time-release- sudafed, loperamide, tums (wallgreen) * buy: eggs, salad, broccoli, cottage cheese, yogurt (safeway) @ posted mdlbear: 15min: Developing good habits * 15min: decluttering in bedroom closet, window-side bookshelves * laundry * 15min: updated list of buckets from post.

Or were you, at some level, expecting something like this atrocity to happen?" * 15min: L. pile down to a box sorted into envelopes and flat sheets, and an inch-deep layer of cards and assorted other small stuff. Wow. & bed ~11:30; snuggle % dream involving college, getting some young lady's phone number after a conversation, bike trails, and something derived from durian packaged in very nice wheeled tower PC cases. Huh?
A good day -- got a huge amount of decluttering done, fighting the pile to the left of the monitor down to an inch-deep layer of small debris (which I mostly dealt with this morning). I still need to sort through the two boxes of envelopes, loose sheets, business cards, postits, receipts, and so on. But it's visible progress -- I'm not complaining.
I also wrote an introductory post for the 15min: tag. So far it seems to be working, but almost all my selections so far have been from the decluttering bucket. We'll see.
I got to the Casa de Chaos bash rather late, but there was gluten-free lasagna left for me. Shouldn't have had dinner at home. Lots of hugs and catching up -- there are people who I only see at Kathy's bashes.
Some good links and a weird dream under the cut.
