Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 9:23AM I am bad at math. There's actually 10/11 steps
1. Waking up to too few comments, tweets, shares, likes
2. Coffee
3. Back to Work
4. Exercize
5. More Blogging
5.5 Interspersed with Excessive Reward Snacking (I finished a paragraph!)
6a. The Nap of Sorrow
6b. And/or Movie Break
6c. or more Blogging
7. Psychotic Break @ Dinner (with or without company)
8. Late Night Blogging
9. Terrifying Pep Talk in Mirror
10. Heavily Air Conditioned Slumber
10.5. ...cut short by neurotic cat. Sometimes with licking.

Oh Nat, the Diane gifs from Something's gotta Give are simply priceless.
ugh...HAAAAATE air-conditioning!!!
I realize it's in the upper 80's / 90's but we are cooped-up ALL winter long with no fresh air!!
Then we have to close up all the windows again in the summer and immerse ourselves in frigid, stale air all over again!
I'm a big fan of windows open with fans on! :-)
sonja -- i know people are hard on that movie but i LOVE Diane in it. the crying jag is everything
LOVE THIS!
This almost had at least 5 more steps but let's not get crazy!
Love this film! Do you listen to French music while blogging?
Funny. Are you going to join Buzzfeed now?
I'm one of those people that can't stand Something's Gotta Give or Diane in it but I do otherwise love Diane and of course this blog!
@Nat
I admit I found it at first awkward (the crying I mean), but it grew on me. ;)
A lovely film and Diane deserved that nom.
Uuuhh and that cat women gif.... meow! <3
filmdr -- no plans to join buzzfeed but sometimes only gifs will do. and i'm pandering for comments since people didn't love my awesome james bond post. *sniffle*. I really thought people would want to talk about his _ _ _ _ .
I find the crying jag one of the most excrutiating things to watch,so false.
But when do you have all the sex? And does it include crying, licking, laughing and snacking?
sex includes all of the above (except crying) but i don't have it. (see step 4.a)
Sleep interruption by cat. I can relate to that.
But don't bring back the memories that Diane dumped dreamy Keanu to be with horrible Jack. Although her character was really annoying, I hated it.
That crying jag is fantastic, because it's not JUST crying. It's also about the exhilarating, ecstatic, prideful high of creating and how that can pop up at the most random and lowest moments. Sure, it's heightened for the comedy but there's still truth to it. I was surprised when Nick Davis had such a problem with it.
Sometimes I find myself wanting to like your posts. Then I realize that this isn't Facebook. Diane Keaton FTW. I don't care what the Academy said. BTDubs, if you wanna get people talking, then write an entry about this: http://pagesix.com/2014/06/17/meryl-streep-to-play-opera-legend-maria-callas-in-upcoming-film/.
They'll come out of the woodwork.
Troy H. OMG
;-)
Ah, Faye...
Close to my schedule. I usually wake up, see too few comments, then go back to bed, then watch a a movie, and then start neurotic blogging work. Coffee comes with dinner because, screw it, I need to keep working if I'm going to dig myself out of the hole for the day.
This is brilliant, love it! The catwoman - batman gif made me choke on my coffee!
I lol'd even as i shudder with recognition. I'm only this bad once a week, and you do it every damn day.
Unrelated question: what film is the "I love you" gif with Julieanne Moore from?
anne marie -- its' from SAFE which is INCREDIBLE.
troy - i hadn't heard that. yes. streep is guaranteed for at least 20-30 comments every time.
Seriously a Nap of sorrow. I found the late night funny though. Why not go and sleep since you won't even know what you are typing.
haahaha lol
i can relate to that, life of a blogger
This is really true!!)))
This is how every day goes, except without exercise =))
