What I Did This Week

$3.05 a gallon for gas. Hrm, that sounds higher than last week. #
Really enjoying Isaacson's biography of Ben Franklin. I doubt anything has shaped my life more than Franklin's Autobiography. #
Dropping Zoë off at the mall with her friends. #
Editing chapter three at Northpark Starbucks. #
Is it the height of egotism to be tremendously entertained by your own novel? #
Getting dinner at Kostas cafe. Gyros FTW. #
Off to LA. I also have a three hour trip to SF. That's right, not a layover, an actual trip to SF that will last 3 hours. #
Boy, this Neutron Star song by Muse is so overwrought. It's like an awful Queen song. #

Only second time in 19 years of travel I've been knocked out by sickness on the road. Sitting here in misery in LA. #
"@baldingangrily discovered the cure for cancer, but he promptly forgot when he became entranced with the nape of some guy's neck." #
My eyes and head hurt. Feels like a hangover. Food poisoning hangover? #
At least I was upgraded to first class. #
Whole family is Buffy crazy. What a great TV series. Deep themes and great writing/acting. #
Getting dinner at Fat Daddy's. #

Just watched the Buffy episode "Hush." Fantastic TV. #
Lunch at the Palm. #
Hot In Cleveland is nothing more than a bunch of set up lines for Betty White to hit out of the park. Which she does. Every time. #
Moving my novel draft to my Nook for easy reading and portability. #
Wondering if I should watch my first World Cup game ever today. #
Watching my first World Cup game. The US team looks pretty crappy. Good thing I'm not a fan of soccer or I'd be depressed. #
Lots of possession time for the US but horrible chances allowed on defense and not much on offense. Good midfielders but not much else? #
US looking better now. #
I think my wife was rooting for Ghana because they wore tighter jerseys. #
Finally a good Doctor Who episode this year. #
A friend was accepted into nursing school and gets a scholarship if this video gets enough views. You know what to do: http://is.gd/d5QoM #

At Home Depot with the wife. Getting upholstery tools for our dining room chairs. #
At the pool with Lea, Mia, and Willow. Zoë hanging in the apartment. #
At the pool with Mia and Willow. #
Hanging at the Northpark Courtyard, watching the kids play. #
Heading to DC for a Twitter conference. Do I know anyone in DC? #
In flight wifi. Fully charged ipad. Upgraded to 1st class. Venti Starbucks. Win. Win. Win. Win. #
In DC. Outlying areas remind me of Pennsylvania. #
After a 4am wakeup call in the hotel yesterday, sleeping in until 10 today is most welcome. #
Getting some brunch at Starbucks and la Madeleine. #
Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon in the house. Season Four, though. Looks pretty weak, especially compared to Season 3. #
Saw a panhandler asking for food money while listening to his iPod Touch. #
At the pool. #

Back from a nice drive with the wife. #
Hanging at Northpark Mall while Zoë shops. #
Late night shopping. #
At Target with the family. #
Hanging at the @baldingangrily abode. Writer's group and all that. #
Back spasms again. Vicodin and muscle relaxant FTW. #
Working with Willow on her drawing skills. #
This is the kind of heat you describe as "oppressive." #
Have a sneaky suspicion this bruise-type pain on the side of my sole is plantar fasciatus. #
Checking out desktop Twitter clients again. Going back to old faithful, Twhirl. I remember liking this. Wonder why I removed it before? #

Picking up brunch at La Madeleine. #
Editing chapter 3 of my novel. #
Grocery shopping. #
Off to DFW for a fllight to San Jose. First business travel in 30 days. Nice break while it lasted. #
