My life is *almost* normal...

After a week of attempting to fill my days with useful things, I certainly did not succeed on all counts every day, but I'm making the effort and feel better for it. Seeing local friends, relying on other people, is naturally the most difficult thing to accomplish, but it at least impels me to make the effort, which means I get to spend more time with people whose company I enjoy (not to mention getting out of the house, playing games, and trying to kick my own ass into working on my book), so yay for that.

Hopefully I can continue this trend and not abandon before everyone else even starts their New Years resolutions.

Tonight we made latkes and matzoh ball soup and roasted chicken, and when I say "we" I mostly mean the_star_fish, since aside from frying the latkes I basically just ate the food and voiced my appreciation. Also, it was a decade apparently nine years ago that I met her, while frying latkes, and for that I continue to voice my appreciation.

My column this week has a very suBtle political message. I bet you can even guess it from the title:
Pun Control

Today has a bunch of 12s, so if you care about that sort of thing, you should probably celebrate at 12:12:12. But only if you really one two.
