Did you know cockroaches can fly? Neither did I! Just saw one do it. Tis the season in LA, I guess. They’re out there. Not too many of them, one here, one there, but they are out there. I feel like LA has roaches, but in very reasonable quantities. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than one or two of them at a time. But, then again, maybe that’s just privilege showing? But…then again…I spent many years in LA very very poor living in some pretty, um, let’s just call them “old” apartments. So, I think I stand by my previous statement: LA had roaches, but not that bad.
I got a full 12 pages written today. Felt damn good. Well into the final showdown. Halfway through it, I think? Something like that. The scenes move fast, now. Short. Punchy. Shit is going down.
Finished Memories of Murder tonight, and daaaannngg. It was good. I wasn’t so sure about it halfway through—Bong Joon-Ho has some elements to his style that just aren’t my cup of tea…but, it’s kinda wild, I ended up watching the movie in two parts, basically, and the second half of that movie slaps. I loved it. It went directions I wasn’t expecting in the best ways, and then reading about the context of the movie made it even more impressive. I really, really liked it. A lot. Bravo!
Now…sleep time. More pages tomorrow! Let’s get this book done babbyyyyyy.
