–*Gone running
–*Gone to see that Japanese art exhibit in Brooklyn

OK, I got one of them done. But damn, my life has sure been complicated lately. I will say this: a person has to also give himself a pat on the back every once in a while for what he has done correctly, otherwise he will live an unhappy life of regret. So this is what I got done this weekend: I did laundry, edited two stories and transcribed a quarter of an interview for a magazine article I’m writing. And now officially, I have done my blog for the day. If I had extra time, I’d make up some dirty limericks for you.
