- Spent three hours trying to get my three-year-old printer to connect wirelessly to my wireless network so I could print out the CSA registration form.
- Spent at least 20 minutes pouting about my wireless printer’s inability to connect to my wireless network.
- Set 82,192 curses upon the heads of the people who made the Brother Printer user interface and an additional 281,282 curses on the heads of the assholes who write their “help” documentation.
- Print my stupid form un-wirelessly like some kind of Edwardian chump.
- Made eggs for lunch.
- Watched last night’s “Mad Men.”
- Went in search of two envelopes, two stamps, and my checkbook, because if I’m gonna be an Edwardian chump, I am going to chump all the way.
- Wrote checks for aforementioned CSA and one for dryer vent cleaners.
- Watched the latest video update from that new Mike Doughty Soul Coughing thing.
- Shuddered in horror at the Garfield stuffed animal featured prominently in so many of those video updates.
- Stalked my newest imaginary boyfriend DJ Good Goose who is working on that new Mike Doughty Soul Coughing thing. He is totally adorable.
- Read about the latest State Arts Board grants.
- Registered to apply for a State Arts Board grant.
- Signed up for NetGalley so I can read Carrie Mesrobian’s book Sex & Violence.
- Pretended like I was a person who reads books electronically.
- Signed up for Zinio so I can check out digital magazines from the library.
- Spent 10 minutes singing the praises of the library.
- Downloaded the latest issues of The New York Review of Books, Poets & Writers, dwell, and Elle (not because those last two rhymed, but because Adele (which also rhymes) was on the cover).
- Pretended like I was a person who reads magazines.
- Brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen.
- Brushed my teeth.
- Started emptying the clean dishwasher.
- Made this list.
Now, I suppose I’ll try to finish that fucking scene that has been plaguing me for a week and a half because I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it and why it isn’t fitting.
