better luck tomorrow

i had great plans for today. i had three, no... four!, writing pieces i wanted to get done and an empty day during which to write them. it seemed perfect. oh, i thought, the writing i will do on wednesday!

but i decided to clean the apartment.

and then go grocery shopping.

and then surf movie trailers and old christmas commercials on youtube.

then i thought i'd write later in the day, after everything was done and i'd had dinner.

but time ticked on and i squandered it watching The New Adventures of Old Christine, and an Iron Chef America holiday/sugar challenge with paula deen, and kathy ireland talking about christianity, socks and the holocaust (!) on a rerun of Larry King Live.

and now it's more than an hour past the time i was planning to shut off my computer for the night, and the computer is still on, and i've written only one of those four pieces: the shortest, easiest one.

(note: i'm not counting this entry.)

so, i'll try again tomorrow. or, perhaps more accurately, i'll actually try, properly, tomorrow.
