Self-portrait, taken yesterday when I should have been working. Oh, glorious distraction. Outside the frame I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but to make things interesting let's say I'm wearing a Freddie Mercury-style onesie with red lighting bolts up the sides and a swim cup. I WANT TO BREEAAAK FREEEEEEE

Stressed well beyond my limits. I'm working on a business article and while I've finally gotten a handle on the narrative, I'm having the worst goddamn time trying to conjure up an expert whose facts and figures will give the article the needed weight. Have a half-dozen calls out to potential sources; no one is responding. This is why I got into journalism! No, wait: this is why I wish I'd joined a Queen cover band instead!
