Got lucky tonight -- I was falling behind on my daily quote for the Petit Albert translation (trying to do 10 pages a day.) It was looking like I'd be skipping sleep altogether when I discovered that there were like 6 pages in a row (out of 10 I needed to do) that were nothing but illustrations. So I was able to actually surpass my...

I got kind of an idea in the shower earlier; something along the lines of Kickstarter, but specifically for projects for me to do. Maybe focusing on translations.

It could be a site listing some projects, or maybe a single project, or maybe it could be done taking requests for suitable projects; and it would list some amount of money I would need to earn...

Doing well at keeping myself plenty busy here in my sister's basement. I think I got everything clean to a point where it only needs normal cleaning now, instead of break-through-the-outer-crust-then-scrub-off-the-real-filth cleanings. If I can actually force myself to follow through, I figured out a difficult but possible plan to finish my translation of the Petit Albert in 10 days. I just need to do...

I can't believe my sister lets her basement and cat boxes get so filthy and yet will throw out a can opener because she believes that old story about rust causing tetanus. She's more likely to get it from that cat box!

Some good news: I got a part in the commedia dell'arte play that I auditioned for! While this does bind me to remain in Minnesota through at least February, it is at least for a commedia dell'arte play!

Feet seem to be functioning in a mostly normal way at this point. The frostbite was luckily mild, with only a couple spots on my apparently much more chilled left foot that looked like they wanted to become blisters but didn't quite get that far. I wrote a complaint letter to the Metro Transit about their bus that I'd had to wait for for almost...

I seem to have gotten frostbite. Let's see if I retain my feet through the end of the week.

Must solve bank problem. Must solve bank problem. I guess I could do a credit union but it all seems so annoying. Some of the old hippies on my Facebook got mad when I mentioned I didn't care whether I banked with a Wall Street Bailout bank as long as they had the customer service and things I needed.

And SG has come to my...

Everything is costing too much. I spent $32 this week on nothing whatsoever (bank fees, return shipping for clothes that don't fit.) I made $30.

I need to find a new bank because BoA has made the fees and the requirements to avoid the fees both too unreasonable. But I need a bank account I can open without a state ID. I was looking at...

I really should be working on my translation of the Petit Albert, but instead I seem to want to spend all my time on that Gibson Girl fashion blog. I have the posts all written through May 2012 already.

I've been to two occult shops in the Twin Cities: Magus Books and Botanica la Hoja Verde. I like the botanica a little better since it's more my kind of gear, but Magus at least has English as the primary language of the place.

I'm wondering about teaching a dumb little class at Magus for the sake of promoting my books. I might have to...
