Writer's Block: Lights Out

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'll just link to an old post: What I Did On My Isabel Vacation, by Hummingwolf. Not so much a story as a collection of notes from the days we had with no power after Hurricane Tropical Storm Isabel.

Writer's Block: Newsworthy

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Does LiveJournal count? How about topical comedy programmes on BBC Radio? I keep meaning to pay more attention to the real news in the world, but mostly I'm letting other people do the filtering for me. Instead of following the latest stories, I spend much of the day in bed reading old books--or at least trying to read books, then giving up and daydreaming a while because the weather has finally decided to be summery and the heat is melting my brain.

In other news(?), I am still leading a dull and boring life, largely due to my body's decision that it has been too long since I last lost consciousness involuntarily. At least it still has the decency to give me advance warning so I can find a soft place to land. So yeah, haven't done much interesting lately because it's been so hard to find the energy. Major events of last week: Going to the library, where I smiled and waved at a couple of former housemates; watching a clan of Canada geese at a nearby pond; being startled by a turkey(!) wandering between yards a couple blocks from here (chickens are not all that uncommon, but the turkey is new); going to a farmers market. I'm already nearly out of fresh cherry tomatoes and oak leaf lettuce, but there's plenty of smoked jalapeño cheddar cheese left yet.

Writer's Block: Economizing

I keep buying those inexcusable sausage, egg & cheese sandwiches from 7-Eleven when I feel the need for quick protein. It would be easy enough to buy the ingredients to make my own, more healthful equivalents (with veggies!) and would certainly save money. Must remind self to buy bread, eggs, and meat (or soysage) at the store tomorrow.

I want to get back in the habit of posting more here, but I'm not convinced that going through the Writer's Block archives is the way to go. Anybody have any good quiz recommendations?
