Up too early - 4:30, watched SNL clips (but not the 10-min Taylor Swift performance, though I will). Put on an episode of Midsommer Murders and drifted back to sleep. Up 7:30, quick breakfast and coffee, talked to Bree on WhatsApp 8-9.
Got an email from the podcast producers that we can actually split this up into two 30-40 min episodes, which will made editing a lot easier. Honestly a big relief.
Left for a gospel documentary I had tickets for, but started worrying I’d left the stove on (to dry my cast-iron pan before oiling) after a couple train stations. Went back; I hadn’t. But I read 30 p. Mackey on the trip.
[…] Fugitivity, he insisted/was-
n’t just getting away. Flight was being subject
to being caught carried back. Fugitivity’s haunted
side he said it was… (237)
Back in the apt. about 11:15. Updated this and writing group check-in.
Made some broccoli + bucatini w/ oil and garlic for lunch. (Ate it all). Placed a grocery order for tomorrow.
Another slow/bleh afternoon. Read some Mehta, did domestic tasks.
Printed draft of chorus section (changed toner cartridge), went to E77 and marked it up for re-organization 6:30-7:30. Also started a new to-do list to process via Mark Forster’s “Final Version” technique. This can help if I keep it up - I usually peter out after a couple weeks and become “dead to the list,” but I feel like I’m spinning a lot of plates.
Came back and got into a long (friendly) twitter exchange w/ J. Clover about the form of “All Too Well.” Directly relevant to what I’m doing; also turns out his partner has written at length on burdens; found and downloaded her book.
Read another 20 p. Mehta. Lights out midnight.
