You would think it would be easier to clean your damned apartment than to adjust your mood. Yet this second of my 21-day salutes was way, way harder, and not just because I’m a slob. Making the first meditation about something as obvious as focusing on the happy made the process of writing about it [...]
Cleaning My Damned Apartment™
After being out of town and just plain out of commission, today found me both home and feeling over my cold enough to catch up with my beloved Lily. I made a decision awhile ago to stop multitasking during real phone conversations, since it’s not possible for me to have a quality talk with split [...]
Yesterday, I made it formal: I talked to my agent about saying bye-bye to acting. Now, it’s not like this has been a banner year for me, acting-wise; it’s been my worst year since the commercial strike. I’m hitting a weird time, age-wise, and the business has changed a lot, too. Auditions were down anyway, [...]
There wasn’t a lot of time to tackle new cleaning projects yesterday: it was mostly about clearing project-projects off of my desk. Which I did, to the tune of three.

Since today was laundry day, I felt like I could slack off a little on the physical inroads to cleanliness. But since I’ve got the bug and my electronic digs could always stand some de-cluttering, and in no small part because I hate greedy, slimesucking pigs who sit on URLs trying to extract a fee [...]
It’s easy let things slide when I’m busy. Forget the filth: I’m not exactly batting a thousand in the diet and exercise departments these days, either. But this three-week period is as much about attitude adjustment as it is getting to clean. So it’s important that (a) I focus on just the one thing, no [...]
I spent the bulk of yesterday at My Country House (a.k.a. The BF’s), cleaning up. That wasn’t my original intention in staying over; to be 100% honest, the real reasons were: My Country House is closer to the FAKE gallery, where I finally caught Matt North‘s hi-larious music-and-comedy act, HAIL THE SIZE!, and I hit [...]
