I did just over 1,200 words at lunch today, bringing my workshop story to 6,500 words. The scene I wrote today, however, will likely replace a few shorter scenes so I don’t know what the actual total will be. I still plan on getting some more writing done later this evening, but I’m pretty happy with what…
I came in this morning with the intention of making four solid hours of progress on some very specific tasks, and I was successful. I just wrapped up that phase of my day, and it looks like I can actually take a lunch break today. However, I can spent that break writing since I already ate my lunch. I had…
Back to work today and it was a busy day. I worked straight through again, without a break (I packed my lunch and ate while I worked), and I even took my laptop home to do work this evening. To relax this evening, I watched the first two episodes of the new HBO series, True Blood. I’m normally not…
I’ve still got catching up to do from the weekend, but work is incredibly busy at the moment, so I likely won’t get to the back-posts until tonight. The trip to NJ and NY was great, as was my last game at Yankee stadium. I’ll have more to say later.
What with work, and the wedding plans, things have been rather hectic for the last few months. But this weekend was a relaxing break from all of that. We didn’t have to do any wedding-related stuff. We didn’t have to to think about work. It was peaceful and pleasant. Kelly’s home town is like that.…
Yesterday evening (as I mentioned), Kelly and I headed up to New Jersey with Sarah and Jim. It was a pleasant drive with almost no traffic, except for a bit outside of Philadelphia. We got in pretty late, and within minutes of getting out of the car, I saw two shooting stars and one satellite. It was…
We are on our way to NJ and currently sitting in heavy traffic at 10:20 pm in Philly. Go figure. Another busy work day today. I worked 7 straight hours before I took a breath. But I made progress so I guess that’s good. This evening, I got more work done on the workshop story.…
I just downloaded this app to my iPhone. It’s called X-Plane and its about the coolest flight simulator I’ve ever seen. The graphics and smoothness of the application are far better on my iPhone than MIcrosoft Flight Simulator ever was on my Windows machine. If you are interested in flight simulators and have an iPhone, this…
Another good night’s sleep last night. That’s two nights in a row! Tonight, we head up to NJ and then tomorrow, we are in New York City for the second-to-last game at Yankee stadium. Despite the busyness at work, and the various wedding-related items (only 3 weeks away!), I am pleased with the progress I’ve made…
I actually had a good night’s sleep last night. There is justice in the universe! Into work at 7:30 and didn’t leave until 6:30. It was an incredibly busy day. I don’t really even want to think about it anymore, other than to say that I kept myself entertained by finding my inner Puckishness. Kelly got fitted in…
Have you ever had one of those days where it seems you are running on all 8-cylinders? Where everything moves smoothly and seamlessly, almost effortlessly? Today was not one of those days. It was, in fact, an incredibly busy, fragmented day at work. It was one of those days where I was in two meetings…
I just finished listening to Metallica’s new album, Death Magnetic (thanks to strausmouse to pointing it out to me), and I have to say that I was rather pleased with it. It’s no Master of Puppets, but it’s the best thing to come from Metallica since the Black Album (way back in 1991). It definitely has the old Metallica sound…
