Unemployment Schedule

Wow, this week flew by. I just realized I haven't showered in two days. I've gone outside only three times this past week. I went to see Frightened Rabbit/air plane crash, and I just went to the gym, where I ran for 30 minutes and swam for 30 minutes. I need to brag about my workout - it's a big deal compared to what I accomplished yesterday. Let's examine yesterday's schedule:

Monday, January 19, 2009

4:00 a.m. bedtime

12::30 p.m. wake up (i count this as a victory. i got eight hours of sleep, as opposed to twelve)

1:30 p.m. eat chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast

2:00 p.m. attempt to write up two paragraphs to introduce Frightened Rabbit Q&A

2:30 p.m. cook lunch - stir-fried bamboo with basil and curry paste

3:00 p.m. attempt again to write up two easy little paragraphs about Frightened Rabbit. severe writer's block with first sentence.

4:25 p.m. finally post Frightened Rabbit blog.

5:00 p.m. have forty-five minute g-talk chat with friend about the merits of marriage

6:00 p.m. quick run to Circuit City to see if they have the wii game Paper Mario for at least 20% off. they don't.

7:00 p.m. work on the short story i've been attempting to finish all week. this story is one of the main reasons i currently choose to be unemployed (i feel like this might be lost on some readers who haven't seen me in awhile - i am unemployed by choice! of course, that may change in the coming months...)

7:05 p.m. decide to change entire short story from first person to third person

7:32 p.m. change entire story back to first person - it sounded more genuine.

8:15 p.m. salmon dinner

9:00 p.m. brush teeth for first time of the day - whoops, way off schedule here. discover i never took a shower.

9:45 p.m. brownies

10:30 p.m. brush teeth as part of regular night-time schedule

2:30 a.m. bed


I am flying to Los Angeles tomorrow where I plan to be more productive and spend at least eight hours a day writing.
