Wanting to start writing the new novel tonight. BUT A) my computer is hijacked, B) about 100 pages to go in M. Palin’s ‘Diaries. Woe.
Oh, you new employees with your enthusiasm, bright eyes & bushy tails; you’re like squirrels: Cute, but dumb. I mean that in the nicest way.
Very much enjoying Michael Palin’s Diaries ‘69-‘79.

REALLY hate it when I hit return instead of quote. Especially with Twitter. Damn lack of twitter correction.

Dang it, it’s perfect outside again. Urge to work… fading…
To anyone I was rude with today, I’m sorry. My bad mood started at 4am, not with you.
I’m really seeing red. Actually, blue. (I’ve been staring a red door in photoshop for the last half-hour.) Throws-off the perception a tad.
Watching American Gangster.
I know there’s something wrong with me when I look at this http://tinyurl.com/4lrfch and say: “Yeah, I could eat that right now.”
It’s kinda nice to be downtown without having to perform. Next Saturday though, El Donk at Roberts.

The Luddites on my People-to-Keep-an-Eye-On list are hard to track by _conventional_ means. Just let ‘em try and get in MY compound though!
Did my witty coffee tweet just disappear? Or did I not click update? Suspect that all these problems may be coffee related. Or lack thereof.

To the person who moved the main images directory for the website: my heart would like to speak to you about an impending cardiac arrest.
