Bloglet, the gentleman's mock turtle soup -- Moss made it sweeter than myrrh ash and dhoup
I saw Derek today! Oh, but it was lovely. And I started ASL up again, after a week off. It's just me this time, so the class is going to be much more intense, with lots of homework. I'm excited, though a little nervous. Tomorrow we're having one of K.'s friends over, and this Saturday is Dances of Vice. I might also be previewing a play somewhere in there. It's been a marvelous summer, and it ain't over yet.

Got the CCP results back. Failed, as expected. Screw it. I just ordered RMR CDs (the better to speed-load with, even though I don't plan to take the RMR until after I've finally passed the CCP), and I'm going to get business cards. After nearly every recent gig I've done, someone's asked me for one, and I've felt like a fool having to scrawl my information on a piece of notebook paper. When I get my certification, I'll get new cards. Ex-frikkin'-celsior.

Three views of my workspace. I don't know why, but I'm really interested in people's workspaces. This was the first print I ever bought when I was a freshman in college, and it still hangs on our bedroom door. I like seeing the systems people set up to direct their thoughts and the talismans they keep around them. Workspaces and studies are as intimate as bedrooms, but more of their nuts and bolts are on display. And, of course, I love ogling tech. It's very nice of the internet to indulge my sordid proclivities. I just joined the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool, and these are the pictures I asked the ever-gracious K. to take for my contribution. Follow the links to see the annotations. Also, feel free to join the pool or blog your own spaces!
Alison Bechdel does a great comic on summer reading. I've been reading a fair bit this summer, though far less than I did as a kid (or even as a pit musician in a tourist town with limited internet access), and most of it's been pure fluff. I'm looking at my last 15 books on LibraryThing, and maybe four of them (Fire Upon the Deep, Midnight's Children, the Cornish Trilogy, And Life As We Know It) have any claim at all to literary merit. The rest are just romps. I mean, those four are pretty much romps too, but they could at least purport to be thinking romps. I've been going to the Mid-Manhattan branch of the New York Public Library a fair bit, which means more books for no money, and that's good. The majority of my reading is done on the subway or in bed at night when I can't sleep. It's just hard to justify taking time to read during the day when I've wasted so much time slacking on the internet (like, you know, writing this blog entry) instead of freelancing my way to fame and riches. Okay, back to transcripts.
