Day 1,851: Under Da Sea

Day 1,851: Under Da Sea

Guys. I fed sea otters today. From my hand. Inches away from them. I also got a "high five" from one. IT WAS AWESOME. The Long Beach Aquarium does "encounters" for a premium price, and we wanted to do something special with Liz's dad since he was in town for...

Day 1,850: Thankful

Day 1,850: Thankful

I am so, so thankful today. It's almost overwhelming... I am thankful for my family. Thankful for my wife and my dogs. Thankful for my mom, my dad, and my brothers. I'm thankful for my in-laws! Lin was here today for thanksgiving, and it was wonderful. I am thankful...

Day 1,849: Rains down in Sherman Oaks

Day 1,849: Rains down in Sherman Oaks

I bless the rains down in Afri--...Sherman Oaks. It's raining! Always a treat down here...almost. It just rained so much where I grew up that it makes me think of...home, and it makes me think of the winter time. It never snowed in Humboldt, not down by the ocean. You...

Day 1,848: Deep Space 5, 6, 7, 8

Day 1,848: Deep Space 5, 6, 7, 8

Y'all...Deep Space Nine is SUCH A GOOD SHOW. I got to hang out with Josh tonight, and we watched some more of that show...we're still in the first season, but something Josh was asking about reminded me of a later episode and so we jumped ahead...and dayaaammm. That...

Day 1,847: Star Baker

Day 1,847: Star Baker

The Ho and I finished the latest season of The Great British Baking Show tonight. IT WAS SO GOOD THIS SEASON HOLY CRAP. Seriously, if you're not watching it on Netflix, you need to get on it. It will restore your faith in humanity, and this season was easily the best...

Day 1,846: Weird Sunday

Day 1,846: Weird Sunday

Man, today was another weird-feeling weekend! And I don't exactly mean that in a BAD way...I just mean that it didn't feel like a regular Sunday. Maybe it was because I hardly watched sports. I watched another movie instead. Maybe it was just the way I was feeling,...

Day 1,845: I dunno

Day 1,845: I dunno

I dunno what to title my entry as tonight. It was quite a day...which is odd to be feeling like, because I truly took it as a day off... But, let's see: I watched the film Hereditary today, and that made me think about a lot of things. "Things," like all over the...

Day 1,844: The 15,000-foot View

Day 1,844: The 15,000-foot View

Perspective is a very, very valuable thing. I was going through my manuscript today, really feeling down about it because it just felt like there was soooo much about it that wasn't working. It's a steaming pile of crap. It'll never be fixed. I actually finished the...

Day 1,843: Shiiiiiitttt

Day 1,843: Shiiiiiitttt

Shiiiiiittt...I am WIPED yo. Two days of watching the building and trying to get writing done...wiped out. Today I probably got the same amount of actual work done as I did yesterday, but for whatever reason my mindset was soooo much better. There was just a lot of...

Day 1,842: How the Sausage is Made

Day 1,842: How the Sausage is Made

Today was most frustrating on the writing-front. I struggled early on because of getting up a bit late, not having a rigid schedule, and the building taking away some of my focus and energy. BUT...I did rally, and I did get three hours of work in. Not bad. Not great,...
