Month: July 2009
Field notes
// waited 40 minutes for the next bus… which was 10 minutes late. should it really take almost 100 minutes to travel 7 miles?
//
do not, no matter how hungry you are, eat a doughnut served at @starbucks – tastes like it came from krispy kreme & not @dunkindonuts #fb
//
the final session of the poetry workshop is complete… i think i got more out of the class than the students…

Running with purpose
While editing a manuscript, I came across this quote by Eric Liddell (actually, it’s a quote from the movie Chariots of Fire): ‘I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure.’
That’s not how I felt last night after completing 4k in 30 minutes. It felt more like punishment rather than pleasure. I’m a beginner as far as it goes for long distance running. I will say, that there is something that occurs somewhere between nine to ten minutes into a running routine where the body seems to subjugate itself to the will of the spirit. At that point it is a balance between endurance and perseverance.

finishing the morning’s recording session…
//
finishing production, refining eq settings on pre-/post-roll track, organizing meta data…
//
writing pre-roll & post-roll scripts for this morning’s recording session…
//
looks like a good day for a run… or jog… or maybe, walking really fast…
//
i can’t believe it… an author i’m reading used wikipedia to define a word. use a DICTIONARY to define terms! not wikipedia… #fb
//
digital nomad has landed at world coffee cafe…
//
did the romantic period of lit end or has it been embedded as a subtext or meta data for current literature? grab a coffee & discuss. #fb
//
the company uses a corp gmail system. the only green lights are from customer service & accounting… is every one on vacation?
//
i have jack of the wood to myself (ya’ll know they have free wifi, right?). who could ask for a nicer virtual office for digital nomads?
//
lunch @jackofthewood (http://www.jackofthewood.com/). the pub burger is fantastic w/ a local mustard called something like monk sweat…
//
that’s what worries me about this coffee… it’s 10am & the coffee has more of an impact on my white shirt than in my system… lovely…
