TT: Procrastination meme
Courtesy of the ever-readable Little Professor, here goes nothing:- I am getting ready to go downstairs and catch a cab that will take me to a midtown recording studio, where I'll be taping an episode of a new radio show hosted by John Pizzarelli.
- I want a Morandi etching.
- I wish I lived by a river, a lake, or the sea.
- I hate cell phones used in inappropriate places and fashions.
- I love my family, my friends, my work (and the art it requires me to consume), and the Teachout Museum.
- I miss my home town.
- I fear death. (Why beat around the bush?)
- I hear the faint sound of traffic on Columbus Avenue and the soft purr of my iBook.
- I wonder if the weather will be nice when I take a couple of days off next week and head for one of my Secure Undisclosed Locations.
- I regret not having spent more afternoons in Central Park.
- I am not quite as patient as I wish I were.
- I dance under no circumstances whatsoever.
- I sing in tune, but in an uninteresting bass-baritone voice.
- I cry fairly often, usually for no good reason.
- I am not always considerate (though I try to be).
- I make with my hands the occasional omelet.
- I write in a near-micrographic hand that my friends claim is attractive-looking. (To me it looks like a scrawl.)
- I confuse...er, nothing that comes immediately to mind, though I find that the names of good friends slip my mind from time to time. Such is middle age!
- I need to take a shower and eat a little something before I head for the studio. (It might also be a good idea to put on some clothes.)
- I should start writing the sixth chapter of Hotter Than That: A Life of Louis Armstrong--but not yet!
- I start reading more books than I finish.
- I finish writing Hotter Than That eleven months from now (D.V.!, D.V.!).
- I tag Our Girl, of course.
