My brain is melting.
I’ve been working from home for almost three weeks now. I enjoy it for the most part – the air is much less icy here than it was in space – but I find I get a little lonely sometimes. To combat this, I keep the TV on. I can enjoy the previous night’s Daily Show and Colbert Report first thing in the morning and some lovely crime TV in the afternoon, but the in between is making me stupider by the minute. I’m sure there’s something I could leave the TV tuned to that ISN’T Much Music, but extremely old habits die hard. There’s some truly awful music out there. It almost makes me appreciate being past all that.
I finally got a decent desk chair last night, as well as a small workstation the perfect size for my MacBook. I have a pretty good setup here, and it’s pretty comfortable. It doesn’t help that it’s beautiful outside, though. I think I need to move my desk away from the window so I stop having fantasies about running away and scooting to San Francisco.
Hey, why don’t you LOOK AT MY SNAILS !! Scroll down to the bottom for the newest pictures, from yesterday – they’re kind of amazing.

TV melting your brain? Turn on the radio. CBC Radio One (for realz!) will keep your brain going much better, if you feel you need the background noise. The cats will like it, too.
From the odd days I work from home, I know what you mean.
I’ll have something interesting on, then somewhere around mid day it all turns in to sleazy talk-shows where the subject is usually something like: “Please make these 20 men take paternity tests because I don’t know which one is the daddy”, etc.
My brain melts just thinking of mid-day TV.
