April arrives full of hope for hopeless me

I've got about 65 pages of prose to write from now till April 21st. In addition, I have two books to read and a stack of papers to grade at the end of the semester. Oh, and a little proofreading job too. Not very little actually. No, not little at all.

Christine, my sis-in-law, has just seen Josh Groban in conert. Lucky her. I am flying to San Franciso next week to visit Lin Kiat on training. He's here with me now in Ann Arbor, and has to put up with me and my huge pile of work. While in SF, I hope to visit a couple of museums, catch up with friends, write 20 pages of a play, and read, read, read.

I managed to see Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Maybe a review later on. For now, I'll just say that it's a lovely, quirky movie and I liked it very much. A restrained Jim Carrey, a Kate Winslet who's wilder and more genuine than the Rose of Titanic, a sad and weak Elijah Wood (wait, that sounds like Frodo too, doesn't it?), and a jumping Kirsten Dunst, among others.

All the best with your writing! Post when you can, but we'll understand if you have to be absent from the net for longer periods of time than usual.

Btw, I'm envious of you, being in SF. Say hi to the Bay Area for me.

Thanks, Monkey! I certainly will say hallo to the lovely Bay Area for you. I'm sad my trip will be so short, but at least I'll have a little bit of fun.

Tiggie...special guest! =) shall I make a guess? I always want to take a break, but it's the breaks that slow me down!
