Just made it back from the premier of Pornography, a film that should have an LiveJournal credit line, given all the talent from our little digital backwater both in front of and behind the camera. The screening was packed, so much so that an extra screening has been added. So congrats David and Sean: it’s… Continue Reading

I’ve been filing…
…like someone who likes to file. It took almost two months, but I’ve managed to get my work desk from this to the state you see above. And that doesn’t mean that I just shoved the stacks off camera, either: with some stellar assistance from someone here in the office, I’ve managed to break the… Continue Reading
Action is action…
Minor things done today, like choosing a new drawer to keep my cutlery in after living here for over six years. Also learned that there has never been a worthwhile “Children of the Corn” Movie. Tags: chores, clutter, daily photo… Continue Reading
Help me fauxganizing – oh no, you can’t…
This is my desk. At work. Where I am. It needs attention. Attention in the form of pile reduction. I’ve come to the point where fauxganizing (for explanation see here) no longer does the trick. Things need to actually either be acted upon or put away. I’ll prepare my burnt offerings for the productivity gods…. Continue Reading
Fear of an empty inbox…
Like most of us, I’m overwhelmed by email. Thousands of messages piling up over time between work and home accounts. So today in response to a post on unclutterer I tried an experiment: I moved all of my email except for today’s out of my inbox and into an archive. I then went through and… Continue Reading
Hanging in the balance…
Is the storm coming or not? That’s the question the sky is asking. All I know is that it’s mid-day and the boiler is on break between shifts so my feet are cold. It reminds me of living in San Francisco. While I was away this weekend, I hired someone to come in and clean… Continue Reading
I have six pens in my pocket…
Current Book: Richard Brookhiser – The Adamses, 1735 – 1918, America’s First Dynasty Again, a big gap in postings which means that I can’t recount all the important stuff. Or maybe only the important stuff. In any event, unless you’re a hard core fan of the minutia of my life, scroll down now! For the… Continue Reading
Weekend
It is oh so difficult to not turn on the TV right now. Sunday morning, sunlight streaming in and I’m in bed, chilled. Winter has arrived. Actually went through my voice mail just now and listened to my messages and returned calls. Some were 27 days old, unreturned. I think I read some where that… Continue Reading
Creeping – or just Creep?
SO that’s about two hours of work. Things are incrementally better. Is there some sort of recovery tag about “Acting one’s way into right thinking is easier than thinking one’s way into right acting?” It seems pathetic that whenever I spend some time doing self nurtuing things I feel better and yet when I feel… Continue Reading
Creeping Back…
If this activity is about anything, it’s about returning me to a life of reflection and integration. The past two years have been ones of upheaval. My life has been reshuffled, and It seems as though I’m still playing catch up. For the first time since high school I’m living in the same place as… Continue Reading
