Projects I am not working on

I’m kind of stumped for a blog post today, so I’ll punt. Here are the items I can see here in my study — which needs a top-to-bottom reorganization — that I am not actively working on or even thinking about.

Ugh.

Images for possible Lichtenbergian t-shirts. (One of them is already done, actually.)

I need to script/program the Filemaker Pro database for Backstreet’s library to allow people to check books out. (I did adapt the “print spine labels” script so that we can use a partial sheet of labels by skipping the blank spots with dummy records which are then deleted.)

Abigail, the Assistive Feline™, is not as helpful a programmer as you might imagine.

Here’s one that I should work on: a visualization of the staging for William Blake’s Inn. It’s been five years since I was desperate/inspired enough to work on it; I got the Prelude finished, but that was it.

It truly would be spectacular.

See that tan notebook in the lower left? That is a short story I’ve been trying to write for — goes and checks — twelve years.

This last is not as much of an actual project as it is a resource that I am bumfuzzled about.

These are Field Notes Brand’s latest limited edition, “Resolution.” Each packet includes two 26-week date books (with wonderfully fun alternate suggestions for your to-do list like “To-do list, or lower-case serif ‘g’ practice”) and a check-list journal. As is usual with Field Notes, the quality is great; it’s just that I don’t use a paper-and-pencil calendar or to-do list any longer, despite my adamant position that paper-and-pencil WASTE BOOKS are to be preferred over note-taking/calendar apps.

Not only that, but I have two of them. Perhaps I should offer them as gifts to the first two people who email me with their address.
