Bruxism

An emergency (that means short notice) dentist appointment yesterday triggered by unholy tooth sensitivity confirmed that my stress-induced tooth grinding/teeth clenching (also known as the sinister bruxism) is getting way out of hand.

At the rate that I'm grinding down and flattening my teeth, I'm going to need a chewing assistance dog in no time.

Five kinds of "busy"

We're so "way too fucking busy" that we are the Trotts.

20x2

I was invited to participate in this year's 20x2 during SXSW. The theme: "What RU W8ing 4?" (What are you waiting for?)

Here's the two minute movie I made.

Update

Do you know that sort of block you get when you haven't posted in a while and you just can't bring yourself to take the time and think about all the stuff you've processed in the time spent away? That's how I am feeling right now; as I write this, it's gradually subsiding.

Though we returned to California on Saturday, it feels as if we just got back from our trip to Austin and Chicago. Both went well and I will hopefully find the time to expand on our experiences.

Missed Flight

When I dropped and subsequently broke the latch on my iBook this morning, I figured that my day was off to a pretty bad start.

When we were still in the security check-in line five minutes to our departure, we knew it was a lost cause. So now we have to wait five hours until the next flight and will be arriving in Austin far too late to break bread with anyone. Ben rightly hates me because I was the one who said "Arrive to the airport two hours befoe the flight? That's so last year." I hate myself too.

By the way, the flight to Austin is for SXSW, where I'll be moderating a panel about Weblogging on Tuesday, March 11. I can be also be found (being artsy and stuff) at 20x2 on Monday, March 10th.
