-I'm slowly recovering from the whole knee thing. Yesterday brought me a little low, but it turns out I was just suffering from a much deserved bout of muscle strain. today's goal it to work as much as possible without the crutch, but not so much as to put me back in the bed. There's too much to do in this world and I've been missing out on them ( Read more... )

Dear god, I hurt in places I didn't know I had. a 13 hr workday on one good leg? not the brightest idea I've had. I made it, but I am sore from head to toe right now. Just got to power through the rest of the shift today and then I can fall apart at my own convenience.

I live, and I'm back to posting ( Read more... )

I bought the latest William Elliott Whitmore album. It's this angry, anti-authoritarian, bare bones romp through dustbowl sensibilities and gritty gravelly blues. Yeah, it's safe to assume that I like it. Even the more uplifting songs on the album are... call it tainted with despair and self-damnation ( Read more... )

LSV: Got absolutely nothing done on the project this weekend. daubed at some artwork, but nothing impressive. Generally spent the my (very little) free time between work "contemplating" (Read as: doing as little as possible for as long as possible, this includes putting on clothes ( Read more... )

I'm really liking the idea of "capture and release" fiction. backtracking over yesterday's thoughts. I think I have a course of action that will also leave me retaining the rights to the work in a managable fashion.

Today is Russel Hoban's 85th birthday. In honor of that, here are some of my favorite Hobanisms ( Read more... )

great. my left arm is nearly useless today. I'm not sure why (weather maybe?) but I hurt from my left shoulder blade up and around the shoulder socket down to the elbow and then out to the wrist and thumb. I can still lift a little and (obviously) jerk around on a keyboard for brief periods of time, but most of my job is now an exercise in ( Read more... )

I'll be taking the week off from updating Project Backburner. I'm at a point where I need to spend a good deal of time reviewing all of my notes on all of my projects and then codifying them into a more uniform outline than I currently have. I'll probably pare down some of the projects on which I'm tinkering (the ones that are a bit *too* idle) ( Read more... )
