Distractions

Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2009 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Tonight I see a staged reading at Woolly Mammoth costarring a friend of mine. I wonder what "Pay What You Can" brings in these days.

My life is better in some ways when I visit my sister. I exercise more, and she makes me laugh, and I meet her neat friends. But then yesterday, we spent twenty minutes coming up with "25 fake things about me" instead of writing An Important Government Paper or reading Thoughtcrime Experiment submissions. My favorite: "My relationship with onions is a pure and uncomplicated love." Her favorite: "I believe Reagan ended the Cold War."
