> 1.write a to-do list that merits 5 good hours of work on a cruddy Monday.
Yep! I actually ran out of to-do list. Had to create a blog to deal with excess productivity.
> 2. Get started on aforementioned list by 8:30 am, shortly after babble-check and coffee run.
hmm. I kind of babbled and blogged until 10:15. took a 2 hour lunch break, and quit at 4. That's pretty good for me though.
> 3. Try to convince Jost that I'm not grumpy at him. I think Jost's great. Sorry about the miscommunication. If you really want to be angry, you need to switch coffee-stained shirt for a really itchy one that's max 9.99 at wal-mart, about 2 sizes too small and wear a really tight belt. That's enough to make even the tamest Jost really grumpy. And if you want to turn grumpy into threatening or frightening, just add 200mg caffeine :o) I'm kinda touchy about difficult profs, being surrounded by them, and dependent on them like never before in my life. Fortunately my advisor is kind, if somewhat neglectful. While I try to avoid the office intrigue, the fight for being alpha-grad student is kind of grating over time, and I've been at this for some time now...
Jost's gotta give me an update on this particular goal.
> 4. Help husband prepare for bbq party tonightcancelled. Ate very very delicious plump sushi instead. fantastic. Salmon, Yellowtail, Tuna, Salmon Roe, Striped Bass, Fluke (my mascot), (no clams, no king crab... alas) Also some lovely maki rolls. mmm. my favorite source of omega 3 fatty acids.
> 4.1. Reacquire mojo, preferably via cuddling than verbal sparring.
reacquired.
> 5. Use q-tip to get the water out of my ears.
yep
> 6. Smile at the first 3 people I see today.
um, do online interactions count? I only spoke with 3 people IRL today, but I smiled at all of them.
> 7. Find something beautiful in the midst of... what feels like the prelude to AutumnBridges in the misty drizzle. A real life black and white scene.
> 8. Brahms 2nd Sym. via process of elimination. 1 is too recent and raw, having just performed it, I'll only be humming the 1st violin part, rather than absorbing the Gestalt. 3 is too melancholy and intimate. 4 is too bold and manly.
Nope. Arvo Part instead. Wasn't in a symphonic mood. more of a Kammermusik mood.
