Day 374: The bottom of the mountain
So, I mapped out the mountain that I have to climb...the work mountain 😛 It's a bit daunting, but you know what? I can do it. I am beat right now, and this will likely be a short entry...but I got all my shit done today. 100%. Third day in a row. Now, "normally" I'd...
Day 373: So Fresh and So Clean
I'm definitely sure I've used this blog title before... I took a shower before bed tonight. I'd finished work, writing, eating, taking care of the pup-pups. Everything. And, I had time to do whatever I wanted for about 30 minutes. I wanted to take a shower. There is...
Day 372: Good Fortune and Hard Work
Today was a success. A full work day. Now I just need to string several of them together, huh? It was a combination of putting my head down and not getting distracted, and some good fortune in that a couple easy lessons made themselves available. I feel good, at...
Day 371: Head full of steam
That's what I had going into today. There were places to go and people to see, and it was all going to stop around 11am so I could sit down and bang out a solid day of editing work, which is what I get paid to do after all... ...it was not meant to be. Holy crap,...
Day 370: Resolute
I had a good work day today. Not great, but good. It was a good first step from yesterday, that's for sure 😛 I'm consistently reminded by this blog of how much I define myself in terms of my work. It's most often what I go to bed thinking about. And, it's not...
Day 369: I am a piece of shit
Yup. Okay...well, maybe I don't *really* think that, but I definitely FEEL like it today. I just had a shit day in terms of being productive. For the life of me, I couldn't focus. I got my pages done, but even those were painful. And work? Forget about it. I got a...
Day 368: Halloween rain
It's raining right now outside my window. It rained every Halloween night for like the first four years or so that I moved down here to LA. It was kind of the ushering in of the fall. Rain usually started late September or the first week or so of October up in...
Day 367: Birdman, etc.
http://youtu.be/FIOfOCPZbNY Not devoting an entire blog entry tonight to this early Oscar-contender, but I will give it a nod in the title because it was quite good. First off, I went into this movie knowing *literally* nothing about it. No idea what the premise was,...
Ringworld by Larry Niven
I’ve decided that after years of claiming to be a Sci Fi aficionado, it was time to face the cold hard reality that I am, in fact, a hack. There are literally a hundred so-called science fiction “classics” that I’ve simply never read. Well, this series “The Education...
Day 366: Day One
So, I decided to keep numbering my days, just like I have for the past year. Day 366 it is. But, it's also day one. Day one of the second year of the daily blog. It's the first day today of the home-stretch to the end of the year as well. I have to confess that I feel...
