Lorem Ipsum

I had a fairly productive weekend, but still didn't come close to getting everything on my to-do list done, which suggests that I had too much on it to start. Or that I spent too much time goofing off, which is also true.

Things I did (many of which weren't on my to-do list):

• Read subs.
• Finally dealt with some magazine schedule issues that I've been procrastinating on for far too long.
• Did some (but not enough) editing.
• Got WisCon plane tickets.
• Played DDR (which I'm trying to do more often for exercise).
• Had lunch outside in the sun.
• Trimmed my beard and got a haircut.
• Got groceries.
• Made dinner (only spaghetti, but still more than I've done in a while).
• Paid overdue cell-phone bill.
• Watched the Dr. Who Christmas special. (The one with Kylie Minogue. Silly goofy fun in parts, unnecessarily tragic and sad in other parts, overall not bad.)
• Watched the last five episodes of Enterprise. (More on that eventually.)
• Deleted the last five episodes of Torchwood from the TiVo. (I stuck with it through the Martha episodes, but I wasn't thrilled with those, and the last few of the season were written by Chibnall, and I figured (with help from Wendy) that I probably just wouldn't enjoy the rest of the season much. I did skim through the wedding episode, but was just as happy not to watch the whole thing.)
• Also deleted both parts of the new Sense & Sensibility from the TiVo; realized that I had no particular desire to see it, and it's three hours long.
• Played a few rounds of an online Java version of Sevens/fan-tan. (Note: the rules are a little unusual; for details, click "how to play.")
• Watched a bit of Eddie Izzard on BBC America--they had several of his shows back-to-back, but luckily I managed to tear myself away after not too long.
• Finished reading the Waldrop collaborations collection, Custer's Last Jump and Other Collaborations. (Unless I decide to re-read "Black as the Pit" after all; I didn't enjoy it much when I first read it, years ago, and it's pretty long. But I liked "One Horse Town" better this time through, so it's possible I'll try "Pit" again.)
• Dealt with several more email crashes and a whole lot of spam.
• Dealt with a couple more incursions of ants.

Things I didn't do:

• Taxes. I filed an extension the other day, so I have until October, but I've delayed filing taxes before, and I really don't want that to happen again.
• Get ahead on editing, though I did do a little.
• A bunch of other magazine tasks.
• Laundry.
• Write a bunch of journal entries I've been planning.
• Catch up on email.
• Continue sorting through papers and straightening up my room.
• Assemble and populate bookcase.
• Lots of other projects-in-progress.
• Watch Enchanted.
• Buy pants and shoes.
• Get back on a schedule that involves being asleep before 2:30 a.m.
• Convince my throat to stop being painfully dry.
