That’s Not How Science Works

I haven’t written today and there’s no reason to wait until tomorrow, time no longer exists. I have to strike while the intellectual iron is hot. I do surveys online for Ipsos and YouGov.

L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N

The Prozac is making such a difference. I created the On Your Radar event, contacted WFUV about promoting it, and even talked to the Hudson West Festival. I had totally frozen on that. I’m coming back to functionality. I’m even cooking better. Last night I had leftover barbecue country style ribs and made roasted potatoes with parmesan cheese. I haven’t done that in months.
