Looks like it’s coming out in June.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a more entertaining breakfast. I was sitting in the Gracie Mews at a window booth this morning enjoying some poached eggs and whole wheat toast and feeling happy to be out of the wind and the rain. As I sat and ate I watched as pedestrian after pedestrian made it to the corner clutching their umbrella in a death grip against the wind. Alas, time and again the structural integrity of the umbrella proved no match for the force of the wind and it would shudder, lift in a brief attempt at a Mary Poppin only to succumb to the physics of it all and collapse like a house of cards. What was most interesting was watching the reactions of people. Some cursed, others vainly fought to repair the now shattered umbrella, a few pretended it hadn’t happened, and a couple laughed. I’d like to think that were I in their position I would have laughed too, but I had to content myself with laughing from my nice warm booth inside the Gracie Mews.

Empathy, thy name is Chris.

One, I figure it’s just not wise if I ever want to have kids and two, every once in a while the stuff I put in there has a tendency to explode and/or catch fire. I’m getting better at figuring out what those things are, but now I stand off to the side by the fridge while I await the verdict.

In writing news I’ve been invited to Lunacon which takes place in March just a short distance north of New York City in Rye. I’ve never been but it sounds fun. They have something called “Adult Programming” which begins at 11pm…not sure what that might entail, but I’ll break out my smoking jacket and martini glass just in case.

My usual morning goes something like this:

Up around 6:00 (but can be as early as 5:30 or as late as 7)
Off to the gym or for a run, then back home
Shower, possibly sing out of tune while in shower
Then either off to the Gracie Mews for breakfast or
Coffee, fruit, and perhaps a bagel while reading the news on my laptop
Write for a 1/2 hour to an hour
Clock into work at 9…ish

Pretty standard stuff. I live alone so no pets to walk, no kids to chivvy out of bed, and no significant other to remind to pick up the dry cleaning. The biggest deviation I’m likely to encounter is having to wash a coffee mug so that I have a clean one (I only have four and usually use two a day, and yes, I realize that shouldn’t take much energy to keep washed up, but you’re severely underestimating my ability to procrastinate if I’m not motivated).

Do you ever get in one of those fevered writing jags where the ideas come so fast and so powerfully that you curse your hands for not being able to type 500 words a minute? I’ve been in the heart of one today and honestly, it’s better than s- ‘mores. Ideally, I’d be out camping right now eating s’mores while writing, but seeing as I’m in New York in my apartment and eating healthier I’ll settle for the writing. I’m going to get back to it before the Golden Globes come on.

Shoot, now I really want a s’more.
