The day got off to kind of a weird start when I logged on to Twitter under my Kaleidotrope account<\/a> and tried to follow somebody, an editor whose work I admire and respect, and discovered that this person had preemptively blocked me. Well that’s strange, I thought, but there it was at the top of the screen: “You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user.” We’ve never had any run-ins that I’m aware of, and I hope it’s just an accident or a misunderstanding. I’m disappointed that I’m blocked from seeing this person’s updates, but worried that the Kaleidotrope<\/i> account is coming across as some kind of spammer. I honestly don’t update it as often as my personal account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, nothing really to be done about it, so I put it out of my mind and went to work. And of course, the half day on Friday turned out to be my busiest day of the whole week. I had corrections to make and reviews to solicit and a couple of other tasks I wanted to complete, and luckily I managed to do so just as the one o’clock hour was drawing near. I got home around 2:30, spent some time playing with the dog and watching this week’s episode of Top Chef<\/i>, and generally just remembering why it’s more fun to hang out in the backyard with my iPad than in my cubicle at work.<\/p>\n

Then this evening, I went to the mall and bought eyeglasses. I have the prescription, and while I didn’t get as good a deal as I might have at the eyeglasses factory outlet, I wound up with a decent price and what I hope are a nice pair of frames. I should have them in 7-10 days, so we’ll see I like them as much then.<\/p>\n

And that’s really it. More than anything, I’m just shocked it’s already the 20th of August. Where does the time go?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
