Day 1,569: Act 1, and Curling Gold

Day 1,569: Act 1, and Curling Gold

It's super late right now because we stayed up to watch curling...and the MEN WON THE GOLD. Huge upset. Our previous best showing in the sport was a Bronze medal, like, a million years ago. So, that was awesome! I also wrote 10,000 new words this week, which is...

2018 Movie #9: Geostorm

2018 Movie #9: Geostorm

Natural disaster movie with cities all over the world being destroyed? Gerard Butler? Space action? I'm in! At the very least, Geostorm knew *exactly* what kind of movie it wanted to be. THE BLURB: After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the...

Day 1,568: Zero Day

Day 1,568: Zero Day

No writing today. Sigh. It was just ONE OF THOSE DAYS. But...we really tomorrow. I've made so progress this week, we're going to end with a bang. For reals. Otherwise it was a great day. I read that Brendan Fraser article in GQ and was quite moved by it. It made me...

Day 1,567: 1,500 good words

Day 1,567: 1,500 good words

I wrote 1,500 good words today. It *was* less than I wanted, but I'm still at 6,000 words for the past three days which is exactly what my "goal" was...kinda. Three chapters was my goal, and I'm at 2 and a half...but still a win, and I'll take it. Josh and I podcasted...

Day 1,566: It’s So Cold

Day 1,566: It’s So Cold

Omg, you guys...it's so freaking cold in LA right now. It might actually freeze. I realize to most of you other folksy folks out there that FREEZING is a usually occurrence in vast swaths of the rest of the world out there, but for LA, it is super, super uncommon for...

2018 Movie #8: What We Do In The Shadows

2018 Movie #8: What We Do In The Shadows

So, what name was on eeevverrryyybooodddyyy's lips this fall after Thor: Ragnarok came out? Taika Waititi. The New Zealander who wrote and directed it... Well, the first thing I did after watching that movie was look him up, and the FIRST thing that came up once I did...

Day 1,565: Just a day at work

Day 1,565: Just a day at work

Today was a big win in that it felt like just another day at work, and shiiiit, guys, that's basically been my goal in a nutshell for the past month and a half: just find normal again. I wrote 4,000 *good* words like it was nothing. Almost like it was nothing 😛 It...

Day 1,564: We Move On

Day 1,564: We Move On

So, tonight, the Ho and I had a little dinner and a movie (at home, on our couch) date night. We went out to have BCD because both of us had been craving Soon Tofu, and then we came home and we watched What We Do In The Shadows, which was on our list ever since we saw...

Day 1,563: Quick One

Day 1,563: Quick One

Making this a quick one because I stayed up too late playing Zelda...beat a big boss, though, and on my first try! 🙂 Off day today was glorious. GLORIOUS, I say. But, it's late, and I want to get up on time-ish tomorrow so I have some work hours before we leave to...

2018 Movie #7: Black Panther

2018 Movie #7: Black Panther

Man...if you'd have asked me ten years ago which comic book titan that I liked more, or which one I thought more-deserved world domination, I'd have answered "DC" in about half a second. And I'd have been so, sooo wrong. Marvel has done it again. Black...
