Trendspotting

March 8, 2011

One interesting thing I discovered from looking at my financial data this year is that in 2010 I earned far more in foreign sales than in any other category.   I could make a decent, if not spectacular, living writing just for translation into other languages. It would spare me all the weird second-guessing that comes […]

Reviews Too Late: the IRS Edition

March 7, 2011

Once again I’ve been slogging through hundreds of inadequately-labeled bits of paper in an effort to get my taxes in good enough shape for the accountant to make sense of them.   And once again, I’ve been watching action films in order to make the time pass, if not more quickly, at least with more entertaining […]
