Tom is Away

sunburned in random, weird spots.

damn spray-on sunblock.

what the hell– might as well go down the shore for the day

wishing my dogs wouldn’t vomit on the rugs so much

waiting for someone to tell me what i’m supposed to think about the sixers draft

responding to student stories via email

emailing a bunch of crap to students

back from a several hour trip to the hospital. status– everything’s cool

penultimate class cancelled, but for totally, actually legitimate reasons.

pretty good writing done today, i think.

writing

last real class tomorrow.
might as well be well prepared for it

1 episode into Deadwood, and the highlight so far is that one of the main characters (Wild Bill Hickock) looks like Jake the Snake Robert (scrubby retired version)

watching season 1 of "Deadwood" on DVD.

Barrelhouse blog updated.

making a story happen

egregious, idiotic mistake with agent thankfully cleared up and solved.
celebrating with a bowl of cheerios.

just realized that the draft of my book I emailed to an agent was not the final one, but the almost final one, which hadn’t gone through a final round of proofreading.

feeling like an idiot.

teaching. hoping to bounce back from a mediocre week of classes

last week of the summer session already.

trying to significantly reduce my daily cheese intake.
