That sense of accomplishment

Monday, 01 August, 2005

BlogLines is making me want to post more frequently (making no promises here). I am actually reading all those blogs I usually never get around to reading. I suspect, however, that if I left cyberspace for a week, I'd go back to my old habits.

Today was productive. I wrote my review of Sin City for Salt, finished the scarf/shawl (my friends at college tell me I ought to sell it for $30 at the Moore College Winter Fair; $20, they assured me, did not adequately factor in my labour), cleaned out my inbox (somewhat) and scribbled off a Couldn't Help Noticing post. (Hmm, that sounds way too flippant and makes no mention of the blood, sweat and tears I put into my work.) I find I cannot write without deadlines. Deadlines make me productive.

Tomorrow we dine with the Pakmen. Anticipating the delights of Stacie's cooking, in the words of Neil Gaiman, “makes me very happy”.

thanks for the review smile

and the scarf/shawl has got to be worth $30 for sure!
