The Informed!

So I’ve been working at 30 Rock for about two months now and I have wholly abandoned my blog like a street urchin. I apologize to it. I’m back now.

The main problem is that certain things like blogs and Facebook and Twitter and other such lovely wastes of time have to be checked surreptitiously. It’s one of those “look like you’re working” jobs. The problem is that I’m actually working a lot of the time and so in those five minute breaks where I can check, nothing gets written.

I’ve decided to follow Val’s example and cut down the length of my posts. Brevity is one of Valerie’s strong suits. Her tiger uppercut is her other. This I believe will allow me to blog again.

My other goal is to get a daily writing goal again. So I hope to post that stuff. And I hope to be awesome again.

Just for fun, here’s some lines from my journal that never went anywhere:

this is mud pie, these are mud hearts
and we say let’s play God
but our breath is wrong

*

a fist of meat grasped to the gutter

*

maybe that was your miracle
to find a metal fence hard enough to halt you
and soft enough to give a little

*

the kid who couldn’t stand to be called on
who scribbled equations like dumb kids doodled

*
we will agree to your version of my life
