Posting about work every day is, I'm finding, helpful in the ways I'd hoped it would be; even a small measure of daily accountability is a good motivator. I feel compelled to get something done each day because I know I'm going to have to report on myself in the evening. So far, so good. But at the same time, posting about work every day disinclines me to post about other things because then I feel like I'm spamming. Except then, all I ever talk about is work, and even I get bored.
So today's work update is ( behind a cut-tag )
On non-work fronts, we've been watching season 2 of Deadwood, and boy howdy, but that's a good show. I'd been hugely impressed by season 1 (which I hadn't particularly expected to like, but watched because my friends worked on it, and then was just blown away by the talent involved, the storytelling, the everything), but season 2 leaves season 1 in the dust. I mean, damn. Prior to this I'd have nominated The Sopranos for most innovative, intelligent, fascinating show on TV, but I think I'm shifting that honor over to Deadwood now. Pity that there won't be much more of it.
And on an unrelated topic, I got email from my sister today. She recently spent a day with her 6-year-old son, Isaac, at LA's Museum of Natural History. Isaac really liked the exhibits on the history of California. His observations included:
- (on learning that "thousands of Chinese laborers" worked to complete the Pacific Railroad) "Chinese people helped build the train tracks across this country? That was really nice of them!"
- (on seeing relics from early Spanish missions depicting Jesus crucified) "Hey, that's Jesus, right? Wait, they stuck Jesus on a cross AND they cut him with knives? Was he a really bad guy or something?" And a few minutes later: "Mom, who WAS Jesus, anyway? Did he live in California?"
Part of me just finds this adorable, and part of me is fascinated watching the ways my nephew make sense of his world.
