Saturday, 30 June 2012 (on some faraway beach) 12:13pm For lunch, a delicious sardine sandwich at the Irving Cafe & Deli. I think that means I'm getting old. sometime after midnight Making me feel a little younger was dinner of vegan nachos at Davina and Mouse's place. First time we've had dinner with them in a while, and hopefully it'll become a habit again. We've also made plans for them to help me (and by "help me," I mean "do all the work") get my long-neglected, trouble-brewing bicycle up and running so's I can get exercise without having to drive all the way to the gym and back. Maybe a half hour, hour around the expansive Sunset District every morning, y'know? That's gotta help. | ||

Friday, 29 June 2012 (slightly more, slightly less) 8:29pm Did a half-hour or so of cardio at the gym. It's funny how my skirt starting to feel tight will put the fear of god into me. 12:09pm Okay. So. Wow. Heard back from the higher-up, and in a nutshell, they love my writing style and my passion for the subject, and they want me to do the book. It's now a matter of convincing the publisher. Wow. This may actually happen. Now, more waiting and finger-crossing. 6:34pm Since Marta's going to be leaving the country soon—not for too long, but long enough—we're getting a sushi fix in at Kiki's. | ||

Thursday, 28 June 2012 (tensing to an extent) 1:10pm I'm still getting "please give us money" spam from the non-profit that canned me in 2010. I could unsubscribe, but it's worth it for the laughs. sometime after midnight Tonight's Jerry Lewis double feature at KrOB's was Money from Home and The Disorderly Orderly. We have no one to blame but ourselves. | ||

Wednesday, 27 June 2012 (speaking of summer) 10:18am My recaps of episodes 12 and 13 of the second season of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are now up. 4:41pm Marta and I visited the Earthquake exhibit at the Cal Academy of Sciences. Not the most captivating, but it perhaps help that I've lived in California all my life. Didn't make it to the planetarium show, so that might help. 9:41pm Did cardio at the gym without hurting myself. Go me! | ||

Tuesday, 26 June 2012 (the shot crane) 10:18am Yet another new article up on the weekly, this one a slight expansion of a piece I'd written for the best-of issue that ended up not being used, about the "Touch the eel for a shock" exhibit at the Cal Academy of Sciences. They all add up to...something. | ||

Monday, 25 June 2012 (monoliths and dimensions) 9:32am I have a new article up on the weekly, one I bashed out over the weekend, about a fake pro-yuppie rally in 1999. 1:34pm The higher-up asked me to wait a little longer so they can check with a few people, and also to send them a relevant bio and/or CV so they can actually get a sense of who the heck I am. So I wrote and sent the bio, they liked it, and now I wait. And, tonight, squidtightening. 2:34pm Had myself a spill at the gym. I mindlessly did a very stupid thing involving a moving treadmill, and wham! No real harm done except for skinning my knee and leg, and it hurt my pride more than anything else. 8:08pm The squid is tightened. | ||

Sunday, 24 June 2012 (black one) 12:03am Got a much faster response on the proposal than I'd expected, and the basic response is nice, but not the kind of proposal we're looking for. Ah. 7:14pm After back-and-forthing for much of the day, we've finally reached an understanding, and the answer continues to not be no, but rather go for it, and good luck!, which is pretty much what I'd been hoping for all along. 11:13pm I'd also been hoping for another packed house at Bad Movie Night for Battle: Los Angeles like we got last week for Cowboys & Aliens, but you can't have everything. | ||

Saturday, 23 June 2012 (scorched moon) 12:14pm Pink Saturday! It hasn't really been a thing for Marta and I since we first got together, but it definitely exists. We do have plans to go with Ilene to a semi-unrelated party in the Easy Bay tonight, so we're sorta kinda celebrating. 5:32pm Except that going all the way across the Bay Bridge and back sounds like a lot of stressful work, even though someone else entirely will be doing the driving, so we're going to stay closer to home. Divas! We haven't been there in a while. sometime after midnight Except Divas didn't happen, either. We got frisky with each other and ended up going back to my place to have sex, and if that's not properly celebrating Pink Saturday, I don't know what is. | ||

Friday, 22 June 2012 (hunting & gathering) 9:26am Just emailed the proposal. Now, I move on with my life and try not to think about it. 4:52pm After workin for most of the day at her place, Marta and I are now at the de Young to see The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, 'cuz that's how we roll. | ||
| ||
Thursday, 21 June 2012 (the sudden ebb of a diatribe) 5:32pm It'll require editing and polishing before I send it off tomorrow morning, but the proposal is done. Now, I head to KrOB's for yet another Jerry Lewis movie. 9:34am I keep thinking I can't be surprised by Lewis's movies at this point, but, damn, The Errand Boy is a mystery. | ||
