moar blogs n stuff - post 106

hmmm.... still sleeping a lot, but somehow, fucked up months of being on a semi-normal sleep schedule.  most un-good.

what else is going on?  i have not yet been on a run this week :-(  damned sleep schedule is making it hard to do.  however, i *AM* on top of my pushups for this week!  maybe i'll run friday and try to get on the bike over the weekend... hopefully.

been to the meadery 2x this week - my usual happy hour venture on wednesday.  that was kind of cool.  talked to some new people.  didn't get much reading done though.  then thursday, i was getting ready to go out & my house mate was talking to me about maybe picking up some bottles of mead, but wasn't really sure what.  i said, well - it's not happy hour, but if you want to go, we can head over and you can get a sampler for like, $15 and figure out what you like.  we got there and, shockingly, it was DEAD in there.  for the longest time, we were practically the only customers.  

i did get to spend a bit of time talking to our bartender (i see her all the time, but yesterday and today was the 1st time i really engaged in a conversation with her) and the new barback employee.  both seem like very nice, pleasant young women.  i guess it's good to be a regular somewhere... maybe if i ever get another woman to go on a date, i'll have somewhere to go where the bartenders know me and take good care of us.  in the mean time, it's just really nice to have somewhere to go w/ good drinks and have a place to read and relax.

did some knitting too, this week.  threw together a pair of boot toppers in 5 days (give or take).  going to do one more small one to match the mock up i did to try to sell them.  that should only take a night or two.  then, off to the store for more yarn & begin allotting a couple of hours each night to working on the toppers.  it's looking like the only way i'm going to make any money this year... 

trying to start up writing on the local blog again.  just need to keep plugging away on writing... that's going to break soon.  then i'll be able to freelance and make some money there as well.  right?  even though my bartering article was killed.  even though every other article i've written has either been rejected or only taken as unpaid pieces for news letters.  something has to give.  right? 

in other news, i was marginally productive this week.  went to a symposium on the future of nuclear energy in the US.  it was really interesting & had some great panelists.  they also had an epic lunch and a pretty respectable spread of bagels / pastries for brekkers.  it was a good thing.  i also judged a contest for my Toastmasters club.  thus ends my productivity. :-/

(the title of this post is a play on Deadmau5's "Moar Ghosts N Stuff" because i just could not come up with anything...)
