Dylan, thanks for reminding me! I had no idea yesterday was Friday! Sorry, guys!
(And Patrick, isn’t it your job to remind me?)
I’m just here for two minutes to grab a bite. Gotta head for the bus now. You guys have at it, please.
Let’s hear all your self-pampering!
Technorati Tags: The Friday List
Okay, Bear is very annoyed with me for typing this right now because I’ve been making him wait for his walk forever while I read and wrote, but I explained I still owe you guys the Friday List, and then we’ll go. He pretends he doesn’t understand.
My nice thing this week was getting over [...]
You may have noticed an unusual amount of blogging from me, considering how spotty the posts have been the last month or so. That’s because:
1. I finished my new book.
2. I now feel untethered and aimless and bored and restless and weird–weird being the prevalent condition.
3. I finally have time to [...]
[UPDATE: Thanks to Heather and Patrick, I've decided to make this post about you, not just about Lost. Check out your challenge below:]
In my continuing effort to wait patiently for Lost to begin again (January 31!! Two-hour opener! SWEET!), I came across this. Please click on the 8-minute recap.

Happy First Friday of a fresh new year!
I’m just writing my book here, having a really good time with it, and that’s the nicest thing I can be doing for myself right now.
What about you guys? How have you started out the new year? What first-week precedent are you [...]
So I wouldn’t cry uncontrollably as I tried to clean my office yesterday (actually, it wasn’t that bad–huge progress in only an hour), I decided to distract myself with some NPR interviews. I came across this one from New Year’s Day, which was perfect–funny, interesting, distracting.
If you don’t have time to listen to the [...]
I’m such a follower. I know this about myself. There’s a theory in dog psychology that says if a dog is licking another dog’s face, he’s looking for guidance. I lick a lot of faces. Somehow I’m always willing to believe someone else knows better than I do about just about [...]
Years ago a friend of mine whose mother was Korean taught me what her mother said was a traditional Korean ritual for New Year’s Eve: You want to go into the new year the way you want the whole year to go.
That means, among other things, creating an atmosphere of order and abundance. [...]
Let’s talk a little detox. Let’s talk about the fact that sugar is my crack, my booze, my nicotine–whatever someone else’s poison is, sweets are for me.
Sure, I love it when I’m shoveling it in. Love the feeling on my tongue, the genuinely happy feeling in my stomach, that wonderful sense that all [...]
