Accomplishments of the Last Few Days

rinueI don't have much to say about any of these things, but in the last week-ish:
- I participated in a psych study, in which I was a member of the control group
- Ciro got his driver's license, having been without one for 10 years or so
- A guest blog entry by me went up at Fantasy Book Cafe which you may recognize as a combination and expansion of two earlier entries in this space
- I threatened to run for state office and then actually got in touch with the Democratic town council where I lived and said "hey run me for something sometime" and they said if I show up regularly to meetings they almost certainly will. Because one of the key signifiers of electability is a willingness to call up strangers and tell them they should vote for you and give you money to further promote yourself. So unless I move out of town, I may begin my gradual rise to power.
- Ciro was asked by people who have never met him but admire his work to star in a student film
- I decided that I need to submit some cartoons to The New Yorker. Never mind that I am not a cartoonist; I don't need The New Yorker to accept them or anything. But I'm not happy unless I have some kind of crazy sceme going (see also threats to run for office). More accurately, since most of my artistic practice at this point is at either at a semi-professional level (writing, film) or entirely a hobby (music and comedy which I don't perform for anyone), I need something midlevel. Otherwise it gets too entangled with a need for my projects to actually succeed or with having no chance at all to succeed.
