I think there will be a part III as well. I had actually only gotten 6 pages done during part I–very dyslexic of me. I doubled that amount in part II. In doing the math, it seems I’m not going to make it through the whole thing before tomorrow evening. But maybe I can make…

I decided to start out at home, so I could stay in my jammies. I drank some coffee, ate breakfast and read blogs for about 45 minutes. Then I fired up the laptop at the dining room table and set to writing for about 1.5 hours. I broke for a shower and came back to…

I’m not completely drunk, which is what my mood implies. I’m simply tipsy. And that’s a good thing. Drunk implies falling down drunk which I’m not. I’m typing and not having to backspace that much. Drunk will happen next weekend at a friend’s 40th birthday party. It will be a drunk where I cannot view…

My muscles are officially sore. Not too bad. Not like the first day of track practice in middle school sore, but definitely feeling it. I’m planning to reward my muscles with some new stuff this weekend–and of course, I’ll be working them out some more. My children are going through a bickering phase. It’s really…

So we had a lunchtime new year’s party at work complete with alcohol. Two beers and a long conversation about what constitutes good 80s music later, I’m supposed to attempt to work. Basically, the boys who share my office and I spent the rest of the afternoon bitching about copyright and the record companies. I…

I think jimbo used that post title a while back, but let me just say that sleeping in 30 minutes longer was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I accomplished a ton of stuff today. I didn’t get to all the fun stuff on my list, but I got to quite a bit.…

I did not walk today. It was raining. I have decided not to walk in the rain–snow, cold, yes. Rain, no. I had a backup plan to do some other kind of exercise this morning, but I was feeling so exhausted that I decided to sleep 30 minutes longer. I feel much better and plan…

After re-reading my post below, I realized how incoherent it was. I am extremely tired. In fact, there will be no writing tonight, meaning I’m two pages down now on the resolution. I am optimistically hoping that once I’m readjusted to a full work day, I can get back to a normal writing schedule. For…

Following up on a discussion from jimbo’s about whether blogs are a genre, I thought to do a little poking around in the wikipedia for an entry on genre, which I normally wouldn’t use as my final authority, but I have nothing else at hand. A good working definition would simply be that a genre…

Though my first day back at work wasn’t so bad, I’ve been thinking off and on about what would be good and bad about not working. Five (superficial) reasons to stay at home: 1. I could shower whenever I want. 2. I could walk at 3:00 instead of 6:30 and meet the kids at the…
