And now we come to THEMATICALLY-SIMILAR MY YEAR OF BOOK SHOWDOWN 2! Wherein we seek the answer to humanity’s oldest question: is having sex better than not having sex? I have opinions on this matter, but I must put them aside as I read:

“Chastened,” Hephzibah Anderson’s account of her year without sex (despite being named HEPHZIBAH, and
“365 Nights,” Charla Muller’s story of having sex every night for a year (with her husband, I think).

Starting with “Chastened.” It’s called delaying my gratification. Grab a loved one, keep him/her at a safe and respectful distance, and join me.

I love how thrilled Dave Holmes looks in this photo.

Maya Rudolph and Catherine O’Hara in Away We Go.

Pretty much my favorite movie ever.

One time I saw Catherine O’Hara at a Starbucks in Silver Spring. She knew I recognized her, and I knew that she knew, and we just shared a nod and smile and were on our respective ways. That was the best commute ever.

I love to travel

I love to get out of Washington, and I love seeing people I don’t get to see on a regular basis. I love flying, I love hotels, I love putting on my “out of office” messages (any time I get to use the phrase “out of pocket” is a bonus, regardless of whether or not I’ll have access to wifi or voicemail).

The sick, sad truth of it all, though, is that what I love almost as much as any of those things is making the packing list. It doesn’t matter if I’m taking a week on my beloved North Carolina coast, a long weekend in Vegas, or a work related jaunt to a client site, one of the most joyous and gleefully torturous parts of traveling is deciding what I’m going to need to make it though my excursion in a manner befitting what I imagine the manner of myself to be.

I’m in the process of planning for two trips. I’m in HEAVEN.

Yeech. Power’s flickering already.

Horoscopes may not ALWAYS be bunk

Paradoxically, the benefits of pampering yourself are greater now than any specific work you might do.

I will never ever argue with that sentiment.

Craxworthy - Blaze’s Beans

Holy God.

10000000000% better than celery for a Bloody Mary garnish. Amazingly tasty on their own. Made in Vancouver, so if you’re Dave or Abby you probably get a better deal than anyone else reading this. But they’re worth it.

QUIZ: Can you put off trimming your beard for another day?

dwineman:

Do you work exclusively from home?
A. No
B. Yes

SCORE YOURSELF

If you answered A. to Question 1: Ha ha ha ha ha maybe.
If you answered B. to Question 1: LIVE FREE, NOBLE SAVAGE

I am pantsless and scraggly and having a really productive workweek and I am the master of my own destiny.

I feel like if my workweeks (day job, at least) were pantsless, I’d be so fucking productive that I’d own the damn company.
