The last year went pretty smoothly, I began working full time at Present Creative, where everyone seems cool and well adjusted to my Tuesdays. I decided to dispense with the posting every week, and uploading my written list, since I hardly write anymore anyway. …
Year seven wasn’t terribly eventful. I finished it out in Japan. But otherwise I continued my trend of keeping a low profile on Tuesdays, not writing much, or communicating much. Mostly lost in thought….
Year six was much like year five. I spent all of 2013 working at Maxis games and after the obligatory awkwardness of people finding out about my Tuesdays passed, everyone was very sweet about it and it never presented any conflicts. A testament to the wonderful working atmosphere of Maxis. …
Year five has been unremarkable except for the six weeks I spent in Japan in the spring. I’m no longer worried about making accidental mistakes. I hardly ever write anything down to communicate with others anymore. I feel I have nothing left to prove to myself or others. I mostly stay away from even talking about it or mentioning it in any way. …

This Tuesday found me at yet another movie night at work. This time with a double feature by two foreign directors. The first was the Iranian film Close-Up (نمای نزدیک), by director Abbas Kiarostami. The second was Yi Yi (二) by Taiwanese director Edward Yang….

The third year of my no talking Tuesdays has come and gone with fewer insights and revelations. I feel like I’ve hit my stride with the experiment and it’s become a part of my routine in much the same way brushing my teeth or cutting my fingernails has. …
I made a mistake this week. My morning ritual for a while has been a slice of pie with coffee and orange. The meal ends with a little piano improvisation before I go to work….
I finished my second year of no talking a few weeks back. And thought to summarize my impressions as I did the previous year….
This Tuesday found me doing two equally unlikely things.The first was participating in a snowball fight in Oakland,and the second was watching a screening of a film that I’ve been working on for the last two years called Tales of the Maya Skies.

My friend Bob (female) was throwing her birthday party Tuesday.

I thought I would write about my experience with my no talking Tuesdays this last year.

I’m excited to see how my experience continues to develop. Here are some thoughts so far….
