Josh and I talked quite a bit tonight about “the adventure”…which is to say “life,” really…but specifically we were talking about how with this podcast of watching the original series together, he and I are on this adventure together, this grand good time that we’ll always look back on and feel like, “man, that was a lot of fun.”
I told him that’s why I like journaling so much – sitting down every day and writing on these electronic pages about my day and my feelings – I like it because it helps me remember all the good times that I’ve had. I feel I like I can tend to be hard on the past, that I can be quite negative on the past. Doing this blog has taught me that’s a completely erroneous and emotion-driven lens on my past that’s totally not accurate or fair.
So many things have happened over the past couple years that I will never forget now. I’ll never forget the summer I grew out an insanely long beard and watched every episode of Star Trek ever made while I worked my butt off on my computer. I’ll never forget the Christmas up in the Bay Area when I say in the guest bed of Liz’s parents house and finished the last pages of my first novel. I’ll never forget moving into this apartment building and feeling like it was a hotel. I’ll never forget getting Cooper, or getting Coco, and all the good times we’ve had since.
I remember so much from the past couple years, and I know that it’s been increased ten-fold by writing these entries every day. I highly, highly recommend it. To anyone who’s remotely interested in writing.
So…yeah, Josh and I podcasted together tonight. We’ve done 11 episodes of the first season, and feeling like we’re just starting to hit out stride. Which is appropriate, because the show is starting to hit its stride at the same time. Some really fun stuff tonight, and some really fun stuff I know to come. Watching the show with him is totally a new experience. Episodes pop in new ways for me than they ever did before. I notice things I never noticed before. And we always have a good laugh together.
But now I’m home…it’s more work tomorrow, and then a writing conference on Saturday. Tired just thinking about it 😛 but it’s all good. Much is happening, folks. Much is happening.
The Ho also wraps tonight on her pilot. Thinking of her right now…break a leg, bear! We (the pups and I) love you! 😉
