Staying Upbeat for '09!

The holidays are over. Whoop-dee-doo. Holidays/Schmolidays is what I say. I'm working hard at not suffering from post-holiday acedia. Acedia is my rediscovered word. I was reminded of acedia while watching a TV special on the Seven Deadly Sins. Acedia is a beautiful word for being depressed and blue and apathetic and denial that anything's wrong. Whatever. I'm funk-proof, really, which probabably has lots to do with all the junk food I've been eating non-stop. I've basically been consuming all my funk away while watching television for hours on end and not working on my great american work of fiction. If you're looking for secrets to procrastination and denial, I totally have the answer.
