wednesday

i've been up for about an hour, messing around, paying bills, weeding through my spammy emails, procrastinating writing. but it's time to get at it. after i go and get a bowl of cereal. readingwise, i'm staying with nonfiction but moving from the world of strippers to that of science/religion with carl sagan (after whom we named one of our dearly departed dogs). christmas is just under a week away, though it feels like it should be over and done with already. the packages i sent east have reportedly reached their destination. there's actually a thing or two i'd like to get for kara yet, but i have friday for that. okay. cereal, then writing, then work.
