Steph & the Old Man took me out to the Amber Rose, here in Dayton, a surprisingly excellent Polish/Hungarian/Luthianian restaurant. This was our proper celebration dinner; their treat, as I won’t see a penny for at least 60 days or so. The food was excellent. The Old Man and I split a pitcher of beer, […]

… that what I’m sitting here doing on Valentine’s Day is revising my book writing schedule for 2008-2009. Also, still recovering from all those lunges we did yesterday. My poor, sorry ass. Seriously, it’s tough to get in and out of my chair. And I have bowling Saturday. Oh, my ass.

I’m rolling over my big CC balance to a 0% interest card (finally found a card with a limit high enough that I can do this). The smaller card will be paid off this year without a hitch, but this bigger one will take the two years, even knowing some things about how the financial
Tomorrow’s always better, people. Steph’s work is taking them all out bowling next Friday, and since the Old Man has no interest, she’s taking me to be her bowling partner! Whooo hooo! That’s three weeks of bowling in a row! (I have another bowling date on Saturday)And this one’s free! Also, free beer and pizza!
One of the things I discovered when I got my free credit report is that I had a student loan payment that was 120 days late. I found this rather confusing, since I didn’t remember receiving any kind of notice that this payment was due. I deferred all of my student loans back when I

I did absolutely nothing useful today. Seriously: nothing. I’m not sure how I so effectively did nothing. Also, now that I’ve gotten used to working out every day, I can seriously notice the deleterious results when I don’t. Ug. Deleterious. That’s an excellent word. I haven’t used that one in awhile. Anyhow: no news is
It appears I’m just going to keep filling up my social calendar until I explode and can’t take it anymore. I realize I’m doing it to distract myself. It’s working, and keeping me focused on improvement instead of wallowing. But… but, well. In other news, I ate some pizza today at work. It was divine.
Got an official 1099 from Hartwell for my Year’s Best SF sale. That was quite nice, actually. Most short sales don’t send you 1099s. I honestly couldn’t remember if I’d made $75 or $100 for it. Yes, all you dewy-eyed young writers out there: making a Year’s Best Sale will net you an incredible $100!!
Scalzi has a great post up about writing and money. Everything he says here is basically stuff my roommates have been telling me. You know, they of my same age who have a house, two cars, no credit card debt, and IRAs. I wouldn’t take back any of the shit I did in my early
The roommates have been looking for a church here in Ohio, and though I figured it would be too liberal-hippie for them, I told them I was looking into the local Unitarian church just north of here. I figured it would get us all out of the house, and it would get me socializing at
