• 08:10 Having coffee and yogurt as I prep for this thing I do with my laptop, story notes, and WIP drafts. Been so long…what’s it called again? #
• 08:25 JA Konrath on confident vs. delusional writers tinyurl.com/c5n8mm #
• 08:27 Okay, now I’m ready. Been too long, so for the next 4 days, it’s Revenge of the Writer! #
• 09:30 Revenge of the Writer, Day 1: WIP updated for crit group. Tightened outline for rest of WIP. Will give it another once over before printing. #
• 11:59 Revenge of the Writer, Day 1 update: Was treated to lunch at my desk, which means I can devote my real lunch hour to writing! #
• 14:10 @IndependentLens Thanks for the add! #
• 14:13 twitpic.com/1pj7f – Revenge of the Writer, Day 1 update: It was warm enough to write outside during lunch! #
• 18:58 Revenge of the Writer–taking a short break for dinner and a low-caffeine content drink. Trying to detox. #
• 19:38 Still getting dinner ready, wondering whether the writer has had enough revenge for the day :). Should I just putz until #BURNNOTICE? #

• 07:45 Slept in and am determined to goof off for the rest of the morning. I’ve earned it. #
• 08:51 That is, I was gonna goof off until I remembered that I had to rewrite a problem set. Who has problem sets due the day after a midterm?? #
• 08:53 I can goof off now, though. Goofing off playlist: GHOST IN THE MACHINE by The Police #
• 08:55 "It’s a big enough umbrella but it’s always me that ends up getting wet." (Love that line!) ♫ blip.fm/~2g2bb #
• 10:12 Another 13-hour day today, this time for a film/talk with the filmmaker tinyurl.com/bfkes4 #
• 11:41 RT @clarkesworld Just heard that Philip Jose Farmer passed away in his sleep this morning. #
• 13:32 Letting myself slack for one more day. Starting tomorrow, thru my Home Alone weekend, it’s gonna be Revenge of the Writer!! 🙂 #
• 13:36 Better link for tonite’s Movie Sign: tinyurl.com/aalpce #
• 13:47 Mark Waid reminds us, "Characters Are Not Furniture" tinyurl.com/dzldl6 #
• 17:47 Movie Sign at 7! Hope I don’t fall asleep :(. #
• 18:53 We have Movie Sign! You know you’re in a campus movie theater when there’s WiFi inside it :D. #
• 21:38 Films where a nice experience. Wasn’t much of a talk afterward, tho. #

• 07:10 T-minus 12.5 hours to midterm! Still shaky on a couple of things, but I’m sure I’ll at least pass ;). #
• 10:26 Phoning it in at work–just feels like the downtime between now and the midterm :). #
• 12:27 Blah blah work blah studying blah blah midterm blah blah 13-hour day blah :). #
• 16:34 Trying to stay zen. T-minus 3 hours! #
• 18:46 T-minus the time it takes me to scarf down this sandwich and walk to the midterm room! Fingers crossed!! #
• 21:57 At home, exhausted but feeling cautiously optimistic about the midterm! #
• 21:57 My reward: the season finale of #LEVERAGE. #
• 23:02 A few bits of #LEVERAGE were a little over the top tonite, but the con was *beautiful*! #

• 08:04 T-minus 3 days to the midterm! I think I can finish going thru the harder stuff today. I hope. 🙂 #
• 08:44 In my fave booth at the bagel shop where, for the next few hours, I’ll be studying and pissing off folks looking for room to sit 🙂 #
• 09:04 Guess now that I’ve had breakfast (bagel, natch), I should open the books, huh? Need more coffee first, I think. #
• 09:19 Writing playlist: Peter Gabriel (post "Sledgehammer")) ♫ blip.fm/~2dbb2 #
• 09:19 I meant *studying* playlist! Gee, any guesses what I’d rather be doing? 🙂 #
• 10:09 Got my 1st "How does 1 guy get to take up a whole booth?" stare of the morning! #
• 10:23 Holy mother…just looked out the storefront window. Where’d all this snow come from? Picked the wrong day not to wear my boots, apparently. #
• 11:01 Impaling my thumb on a staple is, I think, a good indication that I need a break. #
• 11:44 Okay, break’s over! #
• 13:46 Wondering if I’m hitting the point of diminishing returns–see, something from microecon has stuck!! #
• 14:06 Taking an extended break. Some more food might be nice. Definitely more caffeine :). #
• 15:39 Slowly gearing up to get back into it…um, while watching BookTV heh. #
• 18:03 Daptone Records broken into?!! More proof that absolutely nothing is sacred in this world! tinyurl.com/acxg9t #
• 19:00 RT @warrenellis Injecting Red Bull through your tear ducts into your forebrain is, frankly, even less comfortable than you might expect. #
• 19:02 I read that as I was looking at a can of Red Bull and pondering. Must be a sign that someone’s looking out for me. #
• 22:14 Okay, I think I’m gonna call it a night. The challenge now will be trying to sleep (darn Red Bull) ;). #

• 07:36 Went to bed right after BSG last nite, so I’m all ready for my weekend of suck…I mean, skoolwork. After breakfast and coffee, natch. #
• 07:36 T-minus 4 days to the 1st midterm! #
• 10:00 It’s either Take Your Child to Work day at this coffee shop, or some child-labor laws are being seriously broken here. #
• 11:13 Procrastinated by getting a haircut, then ran away from downtown. Forgot there was gonna be a crowd down there today :(. #
• 11:17 The books are open–let the gnashing of teeth begin! #
• 11:29 Score–table with an outlet!! I’ll be fine, so long as I can keep resisting the WiFi. #
• 12:52 Progress is going very, very slowly :(. #
• 14:46 Just can’t seem to find the right study playlist. Yeah, that’s it…a good enuff excuse as any ;). #
• 15:27 Company at home…oh, if only that was what’s keeping me from pressing on, and not abject laziness. #
• 16:02 Small Beer Press downloads on Scribd!! Drop what you’re doing and bookmark this right now! tinyurl.com/brbqe3 #
• 18:02 If studying hadn’t gone so slowly today, I might be tempted to go watch 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY on the big screen…*sigh*. #
• 18:11 Of course, that hourlong nap might’ve had something to do with it. Hey, it was a rough week :). #
• 19:03 Anxiously awaiting the Chinese delivery. Forgot to have lunch (as usual) and couldn’t put off dinner any longer. #
• 20:05 Oh no, not JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER…darn TV! #

• 08:01 Didn’t get to 250 words last nite. Baffled myself w/problem set for skool instead. But that’s what today’s discussion section’s for, right? #
• 08:02 Let’s see how much I can get done before then :). #
• 08:03 Writing playlist: Chick Corea’s Akoustic Band and The Bad Plus #
• 08:35 Seem to be cutting as many words as I’m adding :(. Feh. #
• 10:25 Clouds parted re: yesterday’s problem set. Now if the clouds would part so I can finally finish the damn WIP, I’ll be set! #
• 12:34 Oh, my aching blood-sugar level… 🙁 #
• 13:51 It was Wing Bar day at the usual lunch spot. Guess where most of my lunch time’s gone. 🙁 It’s okay–watch me make up the wordcount tonite!! #
• 14:52 RT @ginatrapani happy to be at that point in my life as a woman where the Vagina Monologues is no longer a revelation #
• 16:14 Have a bitch of a headache that’s resistant to caffeine! 🙁 #
• 18:07 Filed under "thunderdome" – Teen "sexting" tinyurl.com/bulygt #
• 19:14 There isn’t a lick of skoolwork I could do tonight that I couldn’t do with a clearer head over the weekend. Good enough excuse to write! #
• 19:42 Writing playlist: post-SPORTS Huey Lewis & the News–the stuff that sounds all Sam Cooke-ish. #
• 22:01 Almost forgot about tonite’s BURN NOTICE! #

• 23:13 Trying to tear myself from a doco on Billy Strayhorn on INDEPENDENT LENS so I can go to bed! #
• 07:59 Got the skoolwork playlist worked out: Sugarman 3, Menahan Street Band, & The Mighty Imperials. All I need now is the coffee. #
• 09:00 Brain hurts #
• 09:39 The solution to jump-starting a fried brain: J-Pop music!! :). Time for work! #
• 10:38 300 unread Google Reader items?!?! Not to mention the stuff I’ve saved in Google Bookmarks to process. Might have to get drastic, here :(. #
• 11:38 Would totally blow off skool today if the 1st midterm wasn’t in 6 days :(. #
• 11:40 Ruthlessly pruned the Reader feeds! Bookmarks are next, dammit!! 🙂 #
• 13:39 Glad the skool’s laying down salt, just in time for my downhill speedwalk back to work! #
• 13:39 @verybigjen I knew I missed OH for a reason :). #
• 14:11 Gah! Performance self-review a tad overdue. Think it’ll count against me? 🙂 #
• 16:18 Taking a breather from today’s inbox pile. After that, gonna see to the 5-6 Swords of Damocles hanging over my head ;). #
• 18:08 Must try to crank out some words tonight…man, I’m spent! #
• 18:26 All right–250 words tonite, or bust!!! (Probably bust) ;). #
• 20:04 Blood sugar plummeting :(. Gonna make some food and watch GHOST HUNTERS. #

• 07:56 @Slimbig Believe me, you don’t want the kind of "perfect day" I had yesterday ;). #
• 08:01 All right, I got the coffee & the file open. Time for this rambler to get rambling! #
• 08:05 Writing playlist: TOTO #
• 09:08 400 new words on the WIP! I’ve probably just burned myself out for work/skool, though. Oh well :). #
• 10:26 There’s "Manic Monday" and then there’s "Brief Psychotic Disorder Monday." That’s what today’s shaping up to be. #
• 12:14 Found a new stairless route to skool! Murder on my calf muscles but it beats knee-pain. 🙂 #
• 13:26 Blew through a whole new chapter in one class, a week before a midterm. If I wasn’t zombie-fied before, I am now. #
• 14:25 Back to "Brief Psychotic Disorder" Monday at work. Joy. #
• 16:49 I hear Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings on the radio and wish I’d kept up my trumpet chops. I have pipe-dream of playing in a band like that :). #
• 19:07 Getting into the physical writing space is easy. Writing headspace–not so much. #

• 08:25 Soooooo glad I did enough writing for crit group yesterday. I gotta hit the skoolbooks today! #
• 08:40 I was about to make the tragic mistake of opening up the skoolbooks before I’ve had my 1st cup of coffee. #
• 09:23 Noo…getting distracted by a craptastic SCI-FI Channel movie with Adrian Paul. Must…resist. #
• 17:08 Feh–crit group ran outta time for me. So glad I busted my ass and skipped that out of town party. Eh, it happens. More time for skoolwork. #
• 17:12 Upside: Still ahead of schedule–for once in my life!! 🙂 Nothing to stop me from going ahead and finishing off the WIP sans critique. #
• 18:56 Just brought back from the party I missed (Grr motherfrak!)–a batch of the most awesomest shredded buffalo chicken dip in the world!!! #
• 20:25 Finish one problem set for skool and the next one appears online! nnnNNNGGGGGggg! #
• 21:08 Looks like the old laptop is on it’s last legs. Perfect end to the perfect day. #

• 23:07 After last week’s coolness, I’m back to feeling kinda meh about #BSG now. #
• 07:55 Woke up in a panic, thinking I’d slept in on a weekday :(. #
• 08:01 @verybigjen Oh, it was a decent ep, and we got answers all right…my complaints would be too spoilery, tho 😉 #
• 08:07 Time for breakfast, then back to the bachelor-pad-for-a-day to get some writing done! Crit group tomorrow–gah!! #
• 10:23 I’m not writing like I should. I’m reading MMA and INSIDE KUNG-FU at the bookstore, sipping on decent coffee. #
• 10:26 I figure I’ve got the whole day before this, so why not? tinyurl.com/cxpj5f #
• 11:32 Back at the bachelor-pad-for-a-day. Gonna write, dammit! Wanna be at 2k words by the end of the day, otherwise I’m scrubbing tonite’s movie. #
• 12:26 Something’s not working today. I’ve only got about six hours left and motivation=0. #
• 12:43 @verybigjen All I’m sayin’ is that after having "12 Models" and "Final 5" drilled into my head, I had the same reaction as Starbuck. 🙂 #
• 13:03 @GigiVernon I’ve said that once an hour for the past 3 hours :). #
• 14:00 223 words so far. I’ve decided that 237 more will earn me tonite’s film/talk. And any additional words will entitle me to popcorn! #
• 14:38 @GigiVernon Were its eyes full of secret mouse knowledge? 🙂 #
• 14:39 Did I make the wordcount? Feh–technicality. But I’ve got 3/4 of the WIP done and 1/2 of it is presentable for tomorrow’s crit group. Rawr! #
• 14:54 Errands to run, coffee to drink, maybe more writing to do before Movie Sign. Hm, maybe a nap first? #
• 17:59 DVDs returned, copies made, but I’m waaaay too early to buy tickets. But I’ve got my writing stuff, coffee, & WiFi. What else do I need? #
• 23:00 Unexpectedly hung out with a coworker during the film/talk tonite. Very good film. Informative talk, too! #
