You know what cures up the winter holy-fuck-me-it's-so-cold blahs right quick? TAKING ACTION! Tony Robbins style. Yeah, as we all well know, I am a huge, huge procrastinator. But I also hit occasional Monday mornings where it's all GO TIME. When these Mondays occur, the entire back burner's worth of inane plans gets moved into gear, and forget it: it's a headier tonic than holding life and death in the palm of one's hand. True story.

Speaking of death, per my script revision notes to D-Coc this morning, the following shall adorn my grave: "YOU MIGHT GET LOST"

Or I might stick with my longtime go-to, "Don't everybody thank me at once."

And speaking of heady tonics: the WGAF attitude, once one has formally moved into "Bay of Pigs" mode on all the impossible projects, is not a bad one either.

Actual stuff people have searched for on Tederick.com:

• "Elisabeth"
• "Hug a cop" (which must refer to "YOU DO NOT HUG A COP!!")
• "squad"
• "thriller"
• "Matt Brown hates his ex-girlfriend"
• "zomb"
• "heart problem"
• Six, I shit you not six, variations of the spelling of "Sarafina"
• and, of course, "boobs."
