obsessions for today:

• information architecture
• universal php form mailer

that furniture company? Anthro. insanely expensive, but strong, attractive (in a geeky sort of way), and ergonomic.

Moving stuff around again. We were thinking about making the front bedroom upstairs into more of a den, but I couldn’t get the comfy chairs thru the door, and I don’t feel like fighting with it.

What I really want is a …

damn. I can’t think of the name of that computer furniture company, and Google was no help. grrrr.

but yeah, I want a good desk, a real desk, something made to use with a computer.

I’m home by myself this afternoon – decided not to go to a wedding with Chad. (his friends, not mine, and I’d just as soon not be out in the heat.)

Working on writing some “backstory” stuff for Aila. Thursday I wrote a short journal entry in the voice of Mother Radla, and today I’m writing a anthropological treatise from an Unitad perspective. it’s definitely giving me a better perspective of the book as a whole…especially since I’m trying to work out the ending, which I’ve never quite gotten settled in my own mind.

still having some trauma with publishing. I don’t know if it’s a sweethomes problem or a blogger problem. well, at least they’re all showing up in the editing screen…so they’re not lost to the ages.

today is warm & sunny, with a light breeze. I love living in western Washington – the weather is so damn mild. (NOAA reports on everyone else dying from heat.)

I’m procrastinating on working out. bad Elaine!

Susanne’s been having some trouble with her server – thus nothing written in the last 2 days seems to have published properly. I’m writing this quick note in the hopes that when I publish it will go up properly.

last published entries aren’t showing up.

a little dinner, a little TV. now I just need to get some dinner.

(note: something weird seems to be going on with my site….)

I’m going to take a little walk – too sore to do the weights thing, but it’s such a nice day that I don’t want to stay inside.

my chest and the tops of my shoulders are sore. I guess that means that working out is paying off…or something.

I’m reading The Metaphysical Club, which is turning out to be quite fascinating, in a philosophically geeky sort of way. I first read about the book at Slate, and then reserved it at the library. (took forever to get it, which is all my fault.)

I love reading big squirrelly books. they keep my brain moving, and give me writing ideas. 🙂
