I am currently in the middle of round 1 of MotivationPalooza at Lux Coffee Bar in Phoenix. I have so much I want to have off my plate before I head to Interaction in Vancouver next week, not to mention stuff that *has* to be off my plate, that I need to spend the next two nights hashing it out without the distraction of my TV and Miss Tequila Rose who just loves to bark any chance she gets to let me know I should be spending the entire night with her.

Lux not only is in a tie for the world’s best mocha with Solo Cafe in Tempe, but it is just a great relaxing place to get stuff done. This is especially true during the week when it’s not as crazy crowded and a little more laid back. Sometimes Solo is a little too close to my house too so it’s easy to get a little more distracted there. I feel when I drive to Lux that I’m actually forcing myself to get something accomplished. What am I going to do if I actually decide to move over here near the Lux / Clarendon next year? I guess I’ll save on gas at the very least.. or I’ll be driving to Solo in Tempe haha.

Tonight I wrote an email for some volunteer work I am doing and am currently finishing up a survey to do during Interaction in regards to the current IxDA site. I was hoping to also write some more lyrics but in two hours, I think I have fared well. There’s always tomorrow for the lyric writing, which leaves Wednesday to create the melody. Thursday and Friday I will be doing social activities.

Okay well that was my break. Back to MotivationPalooza Round 1.
