In-ert-i-a
I'm finding it tough to get myself together and send out resumes. It's not like I have an endless supply of cash or that I particularly like sitting around at home all day, but I really don't seem to have much energy. I'm kind of dreading the thought of having to get myself up and go all the way to Berkeley this evening just because there's a free yoga class being offered. If I have the right motivation (someone watching me), I can do just about anything--two days ago I hiked all the way up and down Mt. Diablo, thankyouverymuch--but that directly conflicts with my pretension to independence. I don't need somebody to tell me what to do, unless I
do need somebody...but then I have to tell that person to tell me what to do.
Right now I'm looking at a pile of clean laundry sitting on my bed. The thing is, I want to do my taxes (which would take all of half an hour), but I want to do them while sitting on my bed, which I can't do until my bed is clear. And I could put the pile of clothes on the extra-long twin mattress sitting in the middle of my bedroom floor, which (the mattress) serves as a reminder that I need to take five minutes and write up an ad for craigslist to sell the thing. Except if I sit down at the computer and try to do that, I get distracted by looking at a job-search website. Or a forum about the Academy Award nominations.* Or something equally time-wasting.
So I guess the best thing to do would be to get up, step away from the computer, look at my list o' Things to Do, and get set to doing them.
Well, maybe tomorrow.
*which were announced this morning. You didn't know? Well, three films account for
half of all the acting nominations, which is either a remarkable concentration of talent (definitely true for one) or really aggressive campaigning (true for another, although I
am fond of the parties involved). As always, the only nominations of any real importance are in the writing categories; the introduction of an animated features category unfortunately pits one spellbinding specimen alongside a whole ton of filler. This year's Big Fun Fact: two rappers were nominated in very different categories.
peachy as always, Mike at 6:33 PM
