what I do on Friday nights

I had a drink with an old friend for about an hour and a half tonight, and that's about the only time I've torn myself away from my desk. Sometimes I forget I live on top of a sandwich shop and I can stop to feed myself during sandwich-making business hours.

I am going to accomplish ten more to-do list items before bed. Let's see how it goes. (When you set a number as your to-do goal, you never do things like "write a treatment for my new screenplay." You do stuff like "pay the phone bill online." Ah, well, more time to work on a screenplay later. Incidentally, in my new screenplay, I am a kung fu librarian. This is awesome, but it's a good year down my to-do list).

Update: Here are my ten items:

• update the spelling blog (our winners are now winning tickets from the 25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee musical!)
  
• write season 3 spelling bee press release
  
• work on press kit
  
• fill out Treo rebate form
  
• put Treo software on computer and try to sync
  
• um ... four more really lame things so I can sleep
  

You know what's kind of not hip and glamorous? I am making steel-cut oats for tomorrow morning in my crockpot. It apparently will cook the oats all night so I have oatmeal in the morning (steel-cut is healthier than instant). Sexy!
