guilt & avoidance

i had dinner with Kate last night, who mentioned that she hadn't seen any updates on my blog in a while, which apparently was a disappointment to her. i explained that i started the blog because i felt guilty for not having enough time to work on my fiction, and it was great for a while, but now i have twice the guilt — i'm still not working on my fiction and i'm letting my blog slide. the worse i feel about it, the more i avoid writing. probably not a good mindset for, you know, a writer.

anyway, at the very least, Kate said i had to update just so my most recent post isn't about that creepy American Idol baby daddy. i wholeheartedly agree. 

so here i am. 

life has been a little hectic, both at work and not at work. it's also been brutally, torturously hot in the city. today is a relief of sorts because it's only getting to eighty-six degrees. welcome to June. 

in other news, i saw the Sex and the City movie with Kate, Dolch and Lauren the weekend it came out, and loved it. related a little too much to the Carrie-and-Big story, but otherwise loved it. and was so glad i saw it with those girls. 

work is crazy and dramatic, but i'm hanging in. except my co-workers did an evil thing and forced me to join Facebook, so now i get less work done on any given day because jeezus that crap is addictive. 

i have all the pieces for my passport, all that's left is to actually go stand in line and submit all the pieces. i'm doing it soon, because i heard through the grapevine that someone wants to hire me to write stuff in London, and seriously, this morning, it sounds like a freaking fantastic option. 

the Yankees have me on another love-hate rollercoaster, but thankfully my cable box is defective and the one channel i don't get is the YES network, so by and large i'm spared the frustration. 

yeah, so. that's pretty much my life at the moment. guilt assuaged. for now.
