Day 1,667: A Good Day
Today was a good day. I wrote 2,000 words. I read for (over!) an hour. I did some bank-stuff work and had a conference call with our financial advisor. And then, because of all that, I got to watch sports ball in the night times. Of course, the sports ball was...
Day 1,666: Tell Your Sister
Tell your sister...you were right... The Ho and I watched the despecialized Return of the Jedi tonight. You know, as an adult now, it's undoubtedly the weakest of the three...but man, it still works for me. I know so much of that viewpoint is influenced by how old I...
2018 Movie #28: Cars 3
I enjoyed the first Cars well enough. It was definitely an off-movie for Pixar, in that it didn't reduce me to a puddle of emotion, or teach me about life, childhood, and adulthood...but it was fine. The second Cars was not good. I don't even remember what it was...
Day 1,665: Baseball, Brunch, and Basketball
Today was about Baseball, Brunch, and Basketball! Aka, the perfect Sunday 🙂 I don't know exactly why, but I love morning baseball. Whenever the A's take a trip east and they play a weekend series, I get at least a couple morning baseball games. It's awesome. I get to...
2018 Movie #27: Baby Driver
What a pleasant surprise this movie was! I feel like their marketing campaign didn't do enough to convey just how unique and inventive this movie really was...because it was DOPE. THE BLURB: Baby, a music-loving orphan also happens to be the prodigiously talented...
Day 1,664: The Contract
Every storyteller is offering a contract: they're reaching out their hand, saying "come with me, I want to show you something." They're saying "trust me. Let me lead the way, follow me, and I *promise* I won't let you down." I never forget someone who lives up to that...
2018 Movie #26: Deadpool 2
I was a huuuuge fan of the first Deadpool from two years ago. It was so unexpected, so fresh, so original...and just so *good*. So, could this sequel live up to that? Even after losing its director due to creative differences...? Yes and no. THE BLURB: Wisecracking...
Day 1,663: Short Memory
Professional athletes have short memories. So much of their work involves failure, they have to be able to let go of what has happened, and move forward. As writers (or any other kind of artist, really), we need to have short memories, too. Beating ourselves up over...
Day 1,662: Toolbag
We watched Deadpool 2 tonight, and... ...I shall SAVE my thoughts for the review 😛 Mwahahahaaa. Stay TUNED. Otherwise I had another one of those days where things kind of slipped away from me. I made some choices that kept me away from the writing chair...not gonna...
Day 1,661: Happiness
Happiness isn't what a lot of us think it is. A lot of us think that happiness is that feeling that comes when we eat incredible food, or right after we finish a really hard project and it turned out better than we hoped, or when we get to sleep in an extra half hour....
