  • Track Madam Secretary’s travel mileage. So cool! http://www.state.gov/secretary/trvl/c29835.htm #
  • Long URLs in tweets are breaking my sidebar @ gabestein.com. Any reason why twitter hasn’t been auto-tinyurling lately? #
  • Written in scribbled sharpie on the wall of the T: “Are You Happy?” Answer…daily double. #

  • Huzzah! The time machine project was successful: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cpg/1127499380.html #

  • Not even icky rain can ruin the glow of Opening Day. 2:48 and counting. #
  • Mmmmmmmmmmbradhawpe! #
  • Spoiler Alert: The Rockies lost. Curse this dreadful day. #
  • In a class plot brainstorming exercise today, the best we could come up with was based on the concept of “laundry dating.” #
  • Nothing like a good baseball singalong: http://tinyurl.com/delavg #
  • As horrible and homogenous and disgusting as they are, I have to admit that the trappings of high end malls work on me, they work good. #
  • Computer in the shop again, damn that graphics card. Meanwhile, cherching some major FFF inspiration. #
  • The result of this Rockies’ game could literally make or break my day, and Manny has to go and blow a hold?!? #
  • Damnit Rockies, really? You had this series. Guh, now I’ll be sulking all day. Is it wrong to let baseball affect me this much? … No. #

  • Accent week is over. #
  • Sitting in the Union people-watching and listening to spur some creativity/natural dialogue for draft 2 of my script. Anyone else do this? #
  • is eternally terrified of accidental creepiness on Facebook, like typing a name into status instead of search. #
  • Sometimes the weirdest things outside my window…like a group of neon-bibbed runners overtaking a group of camera-toting asian tourists. #
  • “Hey man, I’m researching lovable douchebags for this screenplay I’m writing, and uh, can we talk about your views on women for a second?” #
  • is thinking how all things being equal, most young creatives default to writing about love. Is it an easier subject or always on our minds? #
  • I can’t go to bed, I’m too jumpy, I’m overanalyzing everything, it’s bearing down on my mind, it’s…Opening Day on Monday! #
  • So cool! My dad on BBC’s The World Today: http://edsteinink.com/2009/04/05/ed-on-bbc/ #

  • Just updated typography on my new site. Going with just two: Tahoma/Verdana for content, Georgia for everything else. Results are…mixed. #
  • My prof says to eliminate all pause words in dialogue, but I’m much more of a naturalist. Is perfect dialogue too slick for most characters? #
  • @crowjonah If that’s true, given my last stat check, I think I need more sleep. #
  • I’ve got to write these damn essays, or study French, or do something productive, but I’m worn out and a tad sick. So, tea and TV anyone? #
  • Chose darjeeling: light and aromatic. Read somewhere that tea’s caffeine is more focusing than coffee’s (another vice). Wonder if it’s true? #
  • How much do you worry about repeating sentence structure in academic essays? I think I’ve already killed ‘Although Eisenhower X, he meant Y’ #
  • My TF has a great collection of student essay-related terms, among them: “defensive grading” and “assertive insecurity” #
  • Do your photos always seem less vivid than friends’? I think it’s that we’ve lived our own, but have to fill in others’ with imagination. #
  • I’m also a pretty lousy photographer, which could have something to do with it. #
  • Finished essay 1 on the Cold War, now transitioning to screenplay based on Desafinado. After that, moving to essay 2, Kant vs. Utilitarians. #
  • Finished screenplay based on Desafinado (Not to spoil the ending, but love is like a never ending melody). Bed, then only one essay left! #
  • The words ‘dear God, I love my fucking brain’ just popped into my head… Trying to tell me something, subconscious? (Sob, I’m so arrogant!) #
  • is thinking about accents in literature, how much he hates phonetic spellings by some authors (Brian Jacques!), but likes them from others. #
  • It’s amazing how much impact 30 extra minutes of sleep can have. Churchill was on to something with that micro-napping thing he did. #
  • is thinking that that was just about the worst response he could have gotten to his new script. My procrastination finally caught up to me. #
  • Just woke up from a dream that I will not repeat. But, it was a very fitting awakening to an alarm of “Fun, Fun, Fun! In the Sun, Sun, Sun!” #
  • Is it appropriate to say “bye” to someone if you merely saw them in a public place and said “hello,” 30 minutes passed, and then you left? #
  • Hearing the voices of people you know through $70 noise-canceling headphones makes a huge difference. #
  • Easy weeks are fun, but tough weeks are more life-affirming, in that they remind you that there’s plenty of room for improvement. #
