In an early morning post, with a coffee in my hand...

Invoices are all sent.

Another chunk of science fiction might be in the works, though why I look forward to it, I do not know, because - quoting Signor Ferrari of the Blue Parrot - it cannot possibly profit me, but I do.

More work has come in as well, so it was good that I managed to get some other work done yesterday.

The VAIO put a scare into me this morning by refusing to go past the initial VAIO splash screen. When I disconnected the Firewire cable to my external MyBooks - just to do something, mind you - that seemed to solve the problem.

It occurs to me I need more coffee.

Cheers...

Fooled by the light...

I look out the window of my "semi-basement" office (the room is about halfway embedded in the shale that surrounds the house) and I see it is still light. For this reason, I for some reason conclude that it's around 5 pm or 6 pm.

I am only a couple, nearly three, hours off.

There's work on the plate for tomorrow, which is good.

Some extra items related to LJ Idol are coming up, too, but I think I have those under control.

I continue to go through boxes of books and wonder if, for example, I really need to hang on to Introductory Quantum Mechanics for the Solid State? There's a part of me that says, "You spent more time with that book than you did with your friends during junior year; you can't just throw it out." Yet there's another part of me that says, "Unlike algebra and differential calculus, quantum theory really has no readily apparent real-life use. Still, the next time you find yourself with a need to jot down the Schrödinger equation for any reason whatsoever, you can look the blessed thing up on Google; throw it out."

I expect variations of this argument to echo around the inside of my mind for a while. Necessity (in the form of physical space) dictates getting rid of the books, but there will be a number of cases where other factors will trump necessity.

Maybe I should open a bookstore?

Cheers...
