All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I was just asked to design a show that sounds fascinating and bizarre (they are using Fibonacci spirals to lay out the space and some scenes will take place in a freight elevator). I would've been all over this a year or two ago but I don't know if I can make it work with the "day" job. Hm.

I'm going to buy a new lens that I don't need this morning.

Sure you do. To make more art.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't see any virtue in only restricting yourself to things you need.

I can safely say that I'm relieved that expensive haircuts are of no value to me. It's not like they're something you can evaluate before paying for them.

Okay, today I'm really going to do all sorts of practical householdy stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am aware of penguins, but today I resolve to be especially aware of them.

OTOH, I am not in the mood to watch March of the Penguins. Perhaps I'll look at some penguin pictures.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just purged and scrubbed the etagere in our master bathroom. It had gotten so cluttered it was one of those spaces you just train yourself not to see when cleaning the rest of the room. But it is now shiny and neat with his/hers/ours shelves, and a trashbag of expired OTC allergy meds and lotions in the hall.

At some point I need to figure out what to do about the kids' toys. So many places only take plastic toys (because of bedbug worries), and Freecyclers tend to flake out and not pick shit up. So in the meantime it's another box down to the basement storage area.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not doing shit today, apparently.

Me, either. Well, I'll go swimming in a moment. And toss in another load of laundry when I get back. But that's it.

I went to the library.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am packing up the ebay sales I should have done yesterday. and mac helped me rake up one bag of leaves before football started. It hardly made a dent in the yard, but it was a whole smooshed down and packed full bag.

Also I am watching the Daily Show, and the shit about how the ATF has been totally handcuffed by laws written by the NRA is horrifying.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I went to breakfast and then grocery shopping earlier and in the process walked more than I did all day yesterday. I was supposed to go out and do some weeding but it's really cold out there, so so far weeding looks an awful lot like lounging on the sofa playing games on my iPad.
