Thursday, 20 September 2012 (all the different violets) 5:15pm At Queen Malika in the Castro, hand-editing the manuscript until it's time to go to KrOB's. I may well have found a new place to work for those times when I really need to get out of the house. | ||
 | ||
Wednesday, 19 September 2012 (always her mission) 10:41am So, the big publisher is not entirely certain they like my proposal, but they seem to want to keep working with me anyway. So, gotta keep the foot in the door. | ||
| ||
Tuesday, 18 September 2012 (on the subject of fair) 9:35am So far, so good in school this semester. Lots of work and it's overwhelming, of course, and the learning curve is steep, but I'm managing. | ||
| ||
Monday, 17 September 2012 (dozens of times before) 1:43pm New article up on the weekly, about San Francisco in video games. Heaven help me, I'm starting to run out of ideas. On the plus side, I've been given a new movie-reviewing assignment for the The Village Voice, so that's cool. I'll be staying home tonight and watching that rather than go watch Justified with Pete and Sarah. Work and all. | ||
| ||
Sunday, 16 September 2012 (needing to move on) sometime after midnight Pretty good turnout at Bad Movie Night for the second half of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, though I'm going to have to talk to one of the regulars about his drunken behavior, which has gotten to be too much, even for Bad Movie Night. | ||
| ||
Saturday, 15 September 2012 (a birth of sorts) 3:32pm Going in to see The Dark Knight Rises. Here's to hoping we waited long enough—it's nearly dropped out of the top ten, which is usually a good sign. | ||
| ||
Friday, 14 September 2012 (no clock in the room) 8:47am Davina just came by to pick up my bike so's Mouse can do some further repairs on it to make it hill-worthy. Then, exercise! 9:31pm Marta and I had dinner at On the Bridge (I had someting that wasn't Okonomiyaki, much to my own surprise) and walked around Japantown and environs, trying to figure out what to do with ourselves for the rest of the evening. We thought about finally seeing The Dark Knight Rises, but we've decided to save it for tomorrow. | ||

Thursday, 13 September 2012 (primary, secondary, tertiary) 9:35am "You received this e-mail because you are a member of Amazon Student. If you would like to stop receiving e-mail offers from Amazon Student, you may cancel your Amazon Student membership here." Oooh, that's a dirty trick. 8:21pm I;m not listed in the official lineup for the Salt Lake City thing, so I guess that qualifies as an acknowledgment of my negative RSVP. Sure beats actually replying to me. But I'm showing them by watching Jerry Lewis movies with KrOB. | ||

Wednesday, 12 September 2012 (or any other combination) 1:51pm Spent the night at Marta's, per usual for Tuesday night, and I stayed there until the early afternoon, which is not per usual for Wednesday day. Back home now, getting ready for the arrival of cleaners. Finally taking the plunge, using a cleaning service that Marta is happy with. They're just doing the bathroom and kitchen, since even I think my bathroom has been looking squalid. 3:39pm So much noise and shower-door rattling from outside my bedroom door. Perdita's sleeping through it all, the brave kitty that she is. 5:24pm My apartment is clean, and my mind is blown. | ||

Tuesday, 11 September 2012 (a debilitating case) 12:24pm I am officially not going to the reading in Salt Lake City, due in no small part to the fact that the person who was supposed to be my contact in the matter never bothered to respond to any of my questions about it. Nor did they respond when I RSVP'd in the negative, but there's no reason to think they would have started with that. So I am turning my attention to editing the manuscript by hand, finally. I also have a new article up on the weekly, a silly thing about Chuck Norris, as all things about Chuck Norris must be. 4:38pm Well, it's official: after a very noisy night last night, my upstairs neighbors have confirmed that they've moved from the master bedroom into the bedroom directly above me. In other words, I am thoroughly fucked noise-wise. Time to start researching earplugs again. I mean, I've been wearing earplugs, but there've gotta be better ones. | ||
