Awful–almost an entire month gone without me writing here. A list, to play catch-up:
1. I’ve been getting scattered temp work, most recently a couple weeklong stints doing nothing of importance at a place I shouldn’t name publicly. It’s boring, mindless work, but it’s income (for now).
2. A corollary to that, I’ve been researching grad schools so I won’t have to do the boring, mindless work since the job market really stinks right now for people in search of work.
3. Working on another Christmas mix. This would be a mix of songs for me to give people around Christmastime, not a mix of Christmas songs (which I will undoubtedly also make). The premise is always the same, yet how I execute it come November is always somewhat different.
4. I’ve thought about writing haiku for each day I haven’t written in this blog, but I probably wouldn’t be able to think of enough things to write about for those days. Not even three lines per day, really.
5. For all my not writing, I have been more social and going into town for various events. Not exactly interesting on their own, and since blogging is a self-absorbed activity on its own anyway, it takes effort to not turn this into a vanity pit–something it would become were I to list shindigs I go to then talk about after. Just thinking about that makes me feel kind of sick.
Thanksgiving tomorrow. «»
