What I’m reading:<\/em> The Odyssey<\/a>\"\", but I’ve let that slide this past week. Also, I realized on Sunday that I hadn’t read my copy of Jason’s new comic, Werewolves of Montpellier<\/a>\"\", so that was like discovering an anthropomorphized, ligne claire jewel in the cushion of my sofa.<\/p>\n

What I’m listening to:<\/em> Stankonia<\/a>\"\", The Point of It All<\/a>\"\" and not a lot else.<\/p>\n

What I’m watching:<\/em> Another week of season 1 of In Treatment<\/a>, the finale of Bored to Death<\/a>, and the first stage in our annual LotR<\/em> marathon (we usually save it for December, but Amy was feeling the urge for some Fellowship<\/a>\"\" on Saturday; yes, my wife & I are a match made in geek heaven)<\/p>\n

What I’m drinking:<\/em> At various times during the week, G&Ts made with Right, Citadelle, Death’s Door and Beefeater gins.<\/p>\n

What Rufus & Otis are up to:<\/em> Celebrating Otis’ one-year anniversary with a 5-mile hike<\/a> through some swamp-like trails at Wawayanda. Also, celebrating my return from a five-day trip to New Orleans by wagging their tails something fierce.<\/p>\n

Where I’m going:<\/em> Nowhere! I’m taking the week off from work, cleaning house, taking care of some errands \u00e2\u20ac\u201d okay, maybe going into NYC at some point \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and otherwise taking it easy.<\/p>\n

What I’m happy about:<\/em> Finding a well-fitting navy suit at Rubenstein’s<\/a> in New Orleans (they did their alterations same day so I could wear the suit at the conference). And getting to see my pal Paul Longstreth<\/a> play his solo gig at Bistreaux on Toulouse for a little while the night before I returned home.<\/p>\n

What I’m sad about:<\/em> The conference itself was pretty disastrous. The exhibit hall was woefully undervisited by attendees, and that’s a bad sign for a show that has struggled in the past few years. This event usually provides me with at least 4 or 5 serendipitous conversations that lead to articles or interview subjects, and I had absolutely zero this time around. I had good meetings and talks with our advertisers and other exhibitors, but I rely on those non-client conversations. Grr.<\/p>\n

What I’m worried about:<\/em> Not getting done all the things I want to get done on this week off.<\/p>\n

What I’m pondering:<\/em> Adding “What I’m wearing” to this post, if only to show off some of the new clothes I’ve picked up this past year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
