happy new year

My dog refused to be anywhere but my lap right now.  For reasons outside of my control, my work is canceled.  I think somewhere on I90 there was spotted .05 inches of snow like dust, resulting in the closing of the entire school system in the parish of Livingston.  I have touched slightly, in the few short hours that I have been home, the following:
1. Moby Dick.  I read one page, did half a push up, then read half another page.
2, The collected poems of Kenneth Patchen.  This one looks good on my table.  I opened it to a poem, read two lines, then decided to play guitar.
3.  I plugged in my electric guitar, allowed the cool tubes to warm up in the amp I am trying to sell, then decided to place said amp on craigslist.
4.  I swept my bedroom.
5.  I did more pushups, maybe 10?
6. I placed Moby Dick in front of me.  Starbuck, he is an odd sort no?  I wonder when Ahab makes an appearance?
7. Somewhere in there I took a shower.
8. I sit down with an empty coffee cup...ah, coffee.  I remember drinking coffee last Saturday with similar results to the ones I am dealing with now:  a kind of attention deficit (oh, an arm hair...let me remove that) that allows me to do a great number of tasks, but only in short, 1-3 minute intervals.
9.  I consider going record shopping.  What record do I need though?  For a while I was considering White Light White Heat by the Velvet Underground, but I remember I just found a bootleg copy just this last week.  I listened to it approx. .4 times. 
10.  Did I mention the weather?  It must have started in the early morning.  The gates of Baton Rouge airspace broken open to the immense pleasure of mother nature...as she is, to what can only be described as slightly less cool than freezing water dripping in the amount of a slightly open tarp, raised from the bed of rainbow gathering trustafarian, after nights of jive dancing, pill popping, placated love interests, (googling placated...ok, that may work here.  A love interest can be made "less angry or hostile," I am keen to imagine) where was I?
11. Oatmeal.  Be sure to add brown sugar, sometimes walnuts, always a milk substitute...
12. Did I drink more than one cup of coffee?  My fingers are numb right now
13. Social media updates, "journal" inquiries, blogs, "news," sports updates, the front offices of sports departments around the country, prospering ever so diligently off the backs of poor males with mothers like tree stumps, running every day, every day, getting stronger, drinking milk, washing it down with buttered eggs and toast.
