I like the idea of Saturday, seventh day and all that. But then Sunday\u2019s really the end of the weekend, and the weekend is the cap to the week. So I\u2019m leaning towards Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>That means Saturday is fiction day, not <strong>Sunday<\/strong>, although January 1st, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/01\/being-mila-kunis\/\">first blog of the year,<\/a> was fiction. A story I wrote called &#8220;Being Mila Kunis,&#8221; which I started via the daily exercise at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.750words.com\">750words.com<\/a>. I\u2019m going to post that story over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/rwt\/\">Rife With Typos<\/a>, my short-story archive. I have a bunch of others to post there as well: &#8220;Fate for Dummies,&#8221; &#8220;Death by Laundry,&#8221; &#8220;Suicide Note,&#8221; &#8220;The Most Important Person in the Restaurant,&#8221; &#8220;Lester Waiting,&#8221; &#8220;Your Name was Albert,&#8221; and &#8220;Step on a Crack.&#8221; Those were the stories I wrote, each day, this week. &#8220;Lester Waiting&#8221; you can read now- I posted it as my Saturday blog entry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday<\/strong> I posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/02\/the-facebook-effect-review-on-goodreads\/\">a review<\/a>, from Goodreads, of <em>The Facebook Effect<\/em> by David Kirkpatrick. Right now Mondays are looking good as book review days. That\u2019ll, maybe, keep me on track to read one book per week this year, a long time resolution of mine. Tomorrow I\u2019ll post a review of Ian Fleming\u2019s <em>Goldfinger<\/em>. I tell you this so you can skip Mondays with no fear of missing out on anything.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Emma Stone\" src=\"http:\/\/profile.ak.fbcdn.net\/hprofile-ak-snc4\/41796_23603707793_5166_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"120\" \/><strong>Tuesday<\/strong> was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/03\/aspirations-from-the-latin-to-breathe\/\">a post about testing out a Facebook thing<\/a>, and squaking a bit about how I want to be productive. Not sure if that means Tuesdays will be rant n&#8217; rave days, or what. We\u2019ll have to see. Nothing\u2019s set in stone. Speaking of stone, here\u2019s a picture of Emma Stone, also for no good reason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday<\/strong> was a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/04\/faux-slam-for-turning-forty\/\">faux-slam poem<\/a>, one I wrote to read at my birthday party, and since I like writing that kind of thing, I\u2019m liking the idea of Wednesday being faux-slam poetry day. You have been warned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday<\/strong> was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/05\/i-was-dreaming-when-i-wrote-this-forgive-me-if-it-goes-astray\/\">a column on sleep-texting<\/a>, written as if I worked for a college newspaper and was majoring in I-Want-to-Be-Dave-Barry. I hope that\u2019s only insulting to college-newspaper journalists, and not <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davebarry.com\/\">Dave Barry<\/a> himself, who is legend. I only called it that to differentiate from I-Want-to-Work-for-the-Onion. Thursdays may feature one or either style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday<\/strong> was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/06\/brightness\/\">about home improvement<\/a>. In so far as I very much doubt I possess the work ethic to actually stick to regular blogging for any extended length of time, it\u2019s pointless for me to say Fridays will always be about home improvement. Maybe next Friday I\u2019ll write about <em><a href=\"http:\/\/us.battle.net\/wow\/en\/\">World of Warcraft<\/a><\/em>. Or maybe I won\u2019t write anything at all, and just play <em>World of Warcraft<\/em>. That\u2019s usually how it goes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday<\/strong> I didn\u2019t post anything, but just now I posted &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bukkhead.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/07\/lester-waiting\/\">Lester Waiting<\/a>&#8221; and dated it as if it had been posted Saturday. That\u2019s not cheating; that\u2019s blogging.<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s the week in review. Next week\u2019s week in review might not be about blogging. It might be about running. Or about <em>World of Warcraft<\/em>. Or Emma Stone.
