Reboot 

Ever since February started, I've been feeling awfully restless. And I think I've figured out why: I have no focus. I'm not focusing in on any of my projects. See, the summer of 2006 was focused heavily on painting (my whole "Painting of the Week" series). Fall 2006 was focused heavily on getting Thirsty Robots up and running. December was focused on buying a house. January was focused on getting into the groove at my new job at Ever After.

But now that it's February, I feel like I'm kinda just floundering around aimlessly. So yesterday (Monday) I decided to do a soft reboot, figure out what all of my projects are, and stick something up top as my priority project.

Yesterday I was still getting o'er the sick, but with every passing hour I was feeling better and better. I worked from home for the day.

After Carrie came home for lunch and then left again I put on BBC America—they're showing The Avengers, but the final season (the one with Tara King instead of Emma Peel), so I don't have them on DVD. It isn't a bad season at all! Linda Thorson is quite excellent as Tara King. It's just that she's no Diana Rigg as Emma Peel.

(A funny side-story: there's an episode of Brisco County, Jr that features a female, British secret agent named "Emma Steed." Hmmm....)

Anyhoo, I took a nap for the rest of the afternoon. After work Carrie went and worked out, then went shopping at Safeway, so she didn't get home until dinnertime. I cooked up all of the Rib Eye tots with sauteéd onions, sour cream, and cheddar cheese; what we call "Special Hash Browns" in honor of The Parkway.

After dinner Carrie watched three hours of Friends and cleaned up the house. I, in the meantime, attempted a reboot. I sat down at the konpyūtā and tried to think of all the projects that were floating out there. Ones that would (or could) make me money, ones that were purely personal, anything at all I could think of. I made a list, but it still seems a little incomplete, like there's something big that I'm just not thinking of. So I didn't really effectively prioritize them.

There are a couple of very pressing matters that I'll have to attend to over the next couple of days, but then after that I'm afraid I might be floundering again until I get this all settled. We'll see what project shoots to the top once this is all settled.
