– YESTERDAY – Took a nap, listened to my song, watched the predicatable and depressing State of the Union, caught up on Tristram Shandy, and went to bed by 2 AM. Your typical weekday.
– MY SONG – By the way was not Massacre by K-Nitrate, but Dead Days by Abscess.
In winter of 1991 there was a fierce snowstorm. I remember because this was when Shane Cleveland and I invented our game “push the kid in the snow.”
“Push the kid in the snow” was similar to King of the Mountain more than it was to schoolyard bullies, although I think we liked to think the name made us sound tough.

Plus I’m presenting my writing to the workshop a week from today, so I did two revisions (one following Jessica’s ever useful comments) of the first two chapters of Adrift on the Mainstream.

Laurence Sterne
My impression at this point is disordered, though not objectively so. Even though I have four days of the week off from work and two weeks to spend on Tristram Shandy, I’m still reading one volume each day, with a number of other responsibilities at the same time.
… Read the rest– SORRY – Normally I try to get these things up in the morning. But if you’ll let me explain…
– UNDER PRESSURE! – It’s a good thing that I quit my second job, because there was no way I was going to stand a chance this semester while working full-time.
