    It's been nearly 40 years since I took the LSAT, and things may well have changed, but all I really recall of it was that it had nothing really to do with the law school experience, just like the bar exam as little or nothing to do with the actual practice of law.

    Unsubscribing to emails. Think I've offed the most frequent culprits. And found a few important emails in the quagmire that would have been useful had I seen them at the time. Like my accountant retired in November. Whoops.

    Flipping through tabs on my internet list, watching it snow outside, and hoping not to be called out by dispatch for a DV some place at the end of a long muddy road. Hoping to not be called at all today; I'd really like to do nothing all day long.

    Waiting for the shine to wear off this hangover, from last night, when I got myself deep into some irresistible and utterly gorgeous and long overdue trouble.

    I just finished going through my list of titles and ISBNs to be sure all the titles (and formats) I've released were properly uploaded to R.R. Bowker so they will appear in the catalog of books in print. Naturally, I had missed some. Worse, I had uploaded one title (print-in-demand, Kindle, and EPUB) with the wrong ISBNs. Got that partially straightened out, but Bowker's web site doesn't allow me to edit the category of the book, so I have had to send an e-mail to beg forgiveness and to request assistance.

    Next up -- trying to reconstruct which titles with LCCNs have NOT yet had the printed copy sent to the Library of Congress.

    I should have been rebuilding my lawn mower today, but the weather forecast called for rain. It's now 16:20 and the rain hasn't arrived, so the weather people (I decline to call them "meteorologists") have fooled me again.

    That's about 10 years worth for me at this rate.

    I've been moving bookshelves because I wanted change and I feel like I've accomplished a lot. Now I'm putting away blank (or barely used) journals. I have 21 but it's not a problem yet.

    I'm spending my morning with the dregs of a headache and slight hangover from the meds required to keep it from reaching epic proportions. Snow still on the ground, which makes it almost impossible to go outside because of the light glaring off the white. At least it's overcast instead of sunny, which really would cause misery. I don't quite feel pathetic, but I do feel put upon. I had things I wanted to do today.

    I'm getting ready to plant a rosebush despite the less than perfect weather, then I'm going to pack the parka for the even more less than perfect weather in Reykjavik. :D

    Not a big fan of either, but they were far better than the more recent love fest between the two nations.
     
    Iain Aschendale and love to read like this.

    Editing while having a horror gamer play in the background. I'll be switching to a music playlist soon, but I'm fascinated by the spooky even though I'm an easily frightened nugget.

    I haven't been doing much writing lately, but I've been enjoying my improv class so much that I just signed up for another one over the summer. I love the performance and collaboration! Tapping away at the laptop just doesn't have the same energy, though it's rewarding in different ways.

    Wow, so—actual interaction with other human beings rather than virtual interaction? Huh, I've just about forgotten what that's like.

    Nothing. Taking a break from everything. Just watched a Youtube video of Belushi and Chase as Kirk and Spock.
