Summer trips and how much I need them: I’ll be teaching briefly in Chicago, and hitting a few other events over the next couple of months.
Lehigh’s new ideas about scheduling: evidently it’s silly for me to sleep one minute past 6am, and so she needs to be on the bed at that time jumping on me and flogging me with her braided pull toy. This new policy has been in place for the past week, and I’m a little disturbed by it.
Scarcity: I’m almost at the point where I’m having to wait for my magazines to pile up so that I can bundle them for recycling. I’m already past that with newspapers: I wanted to crumple some newsprint to cushion some thing I was packing, and couldn’t find any in the apartment.
What to do about Facebook: I should just cut the cord, since all FB does for me is provide a convenient way of announcing events. Otherwise it’s a pain – I’ve been trying to import the feed for my blog into it as notes, but that process seems to happen only episodically. It seems like a group of posts will show up and then there’s a ten day delay before the next group shows up. Really I’d just like everyone to access it on my main website.
WordPress plugins and how I love them: speaking of www.naylandblake.net , I’ve been tinkering with it a bit and added on some functionality that allows me to integrate my Twitter account with it. Now my trivialities and weak jokes will nestle alongside my profundities and whingeing. Now I’m thinking of ways to get my tumblr to show up on there too.
Bourbon: It can make everything better and then make you feel sad and worn out too.
Daily life: there seems to be a scarcity of anecdotes in my daily life of the kind that provide fodder for funny blog posts. Clearly I need to be around more picturesque types of people and regard them with more judgment. Or I need to fall down more, so I can look on the funny side of that.
