not so much writing a paper right now

#1
chickens: roast them upside down.

#2
rewards: watching Jimmy's "Can't Get a Date" on VH1 OnDemand later.

#3
bigger rewards: going to an island in my friend erik's lobsterboat to pick raspberries and/or eat a picnic, a picnic that may consist of things like lobsters and clams roasted in seaweed, with sian and taran and madryn, in august.

#4
possibilites: archives.

#5
and with a thunderstorm like yours, i'd be insecure too: librarian gesture.

#6
an embarassment of riches: my friends.

(please note archaic use of "embarassment"= "profusion," "bounty," "more than i could have imagined.")
