I fucking hate being sick.  I could not sleep last night.

Looks like my fishing trip is canceled.  Thompson has an out-of-town guest coming. 

Performancing is a super-awesome Firefox plugin.  So is Sage.  I am happier when I have great tools.  I’ve been reading Lifehacker and I want to be better about managing information, time, resources.  I have been feeling very weighed down recently, feeling like I am a victim of persistent partial attention.  I’ve found myself opening an application and then not knowing why I opened it when it’s finally opened.  This is happening a lot more.  Reading Tony Hoagland’s book yesterday was so nice because I think it was the first time in a while that I was able to concentrate on one thing, just one thing.

I’m hoping that using Performancing will help me to log some of those little thoughts a bit more effectively.  I sometimes think about blogging and fail to do so because I only want to get down one or two thoughts, and then I think that it’s not worth an entry. 

I think I may have just spent the last half hour with The First Wives Club playing in the background.  Christ.
