Day 4,397: Plinth

Day 4,397: Plinth

Gonna make it a quick one tonight! Have to — need to get up ever so slightly early tomorrow to make sure I get my writing in before work kicks off. Gonna be a busy day, at least to start. I will be one session short of perfect this week. I burned out tonight....

Day 4,396: Booked

Day 4,396: Booked

Making it a quick one tonight because it’s already 10 and I want to read for a bit, but…I have my rough outline. Whew! It rocks, too. I can feel it, feel the momentum of it, just going through the rough beats. Stuff I can’t wait to write. Stuff that I know will make...

Day 4,395: Twelve

Day 4,395: Twelve

My goodness. I think I forgot a good two weeks ago or so that this is twelve years of “blogging” every day. It’s not really blogging is it? Not in the strict sense. Blogging is usually more…organized. Purposed. More like articles, I feel like, albeit informal ones....

Day 4,394: Chubs

Day 4,394: Chubs

It was a burnout day today. But I mean that in a good way. Like, I handled the burnout. MASSIVE nap. Almost two hours, I think, which might interfere a bit with going to bed tonight, but I don’t know. I did it decently early. I needed it. Majorly. Read some. Watched a...

Day 4,393: Bitten

Day 4,393: Bitten

Tonight’s fine distinction IS… “Flail” versus “Mace” versus “Morning Star.” Weapons! Let’s get into it. A flail has a chain with something to swing at the end of it. Most famously, we think of a spiked ball. APPARENTLY, however, in real history, it was usually just...

Day 4,392: Tommenz

Day 4,392: Tommenz

Boy howdy I am tired. A familiar refrain, I know. It wasn’t a zero day today, but it was close. Went to bed so late last night getting up early to write wasn’t on the table, and then work was busy enough that it cut into the evening time, though to be honest I don’t...

Day 4,391: Old Lace

Day 4,391: Old Lace

You know…I think Arsenic and Old Lace might have had an outsized influence on my life. I saw it for the first time, I think, on stage at my high school, the very first semester of my freshman year. I distinctly remember falling out of my chair I was laughing so hard....

Day 4,390: Yawnze

Day 4,390: Yawnze

So…the time change is hard, lol. You’d think having an “extra” hour to sleep in the morning would be dope, right? Except that my bio-clock has been so hard set, I wake up exactly when I used to, which is now an hour early. So, I’m actually getting one hour LESS sleep...

Day 4,389: Profligate

Day 4,389: Profligate

Tonight’s fine distinction is between “Squash” and “Racquetball.” Squash is a sport played with two or four players in a completely enclosed space where you hit a small, firm ball with a narrow racket. Racquetball is a sport played with two or four players in a...

Day 4,388: And Reveling

Day 4,388: And Reveling

The time change is upon us. Testament to my internal clock, because I woke up this morning at PRECISELY 5:45 (ye olde 6:45 just a day ago). Couldn’t really get back to sleep either, sigh. So I didn’t enjoy the extra hour. But, that’s okay. Sleeping till the new 6:45...
