A Monday
This is what I did Monday:
Woke at a quarter 'til 8am when Eric came to bed. He'd been up all night finishing a programming project. Decided to get up even though I'd only had 4.5 hours of sleep.
Checked social networks. Moved on to to Google Reader. Caught up with The Kissed Mouth, reading a post on Salome and a post on William Etty.
Made coffee.
Queued up Once Upon a Time while updating Thursday's VOTS scores. Even though I still didn't have a solid score for The Niño v. Calm Before the Huck. Also updated Nabity Ratings accuracy page and the main VOTS page with Annual Meeting details.
09:30 – Queued up Chopped while working on the VOTS sidebar. It's needed an update.
Breakfast: PB&J on an English muffin.
Contemplated Tuesday's ultimate match ups and potential end-of-season standings. (The top three spots will not change. My team is third. The bottom of the standings could get interesting.)
From Google Reader: SF Signal guest post by Myke Cole on Warhammer 40,000 fiction. Part of my discontent with post-apocalyptic fiction stems from the standard 5-minutes-after-the-world's-end setting. Yeah, 40K goes beyond that. Whether their conclusions are reasonable is open to debate, but I've been pretty impressed with the couple of books I've read.
10:35 – Headed out for a run.
11:35 – Back from trip to the community center. Ran 5K in 31:40. Weight: 129 in shoes. Heavier than I've been in quite a while.
Tired of its lagginess, I rebooted the computer.
Logged in each of my EQ2 characters to take care of Nights of the Dead and city festival currency. Read Farthing during log-ins and log-outs.
Lunch (hot dog & Cheetos) and a spin through Google Reader. There's basketball tonight. Press conference with Doc. Article about Caleb Walker.
Showered.
Logged rejection of "Opportunity" by OSC Intergalactic Medicine Show. Searched around DuoTrope and found the next three markets for that piece. Sent it off after checking and rechecking the guidelines.
Eric updated his ratings spreadsheet and I updated the prediction page.
Took a spin around the Google Reader: The Language of Tweets, as a map.
14:50 – Looking over Luck for Hire notes, contemplating the hi-jinx that lead Dets. Moore and Sanyo to meet Aleister Luck.
15:00 – With thoughts of Luck dancing in my head, I took a nap.
16:30 – Had a good nap!
Twice yearly DST confusion occurs. I installed FoxClocks.
Worked on fixing a scene that I had broken.
17:30 – Dinner from Guerrero's.
18:00 – Basketball. And harvesting fulginate in EQ2.
Talked with Eric about a couple of Luck scenes I'd been having problems with. Wrote with Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School, Burn Notice, and Hell on Wheels in the background. Did research on "spy gear," private detective licensing, 7-Elevens in Las Vegas. Realized I had changed a character's name. Wrote about 800 words over three different scenes.
02:25, Tuesday: Headed to bed.
