Day 355: The Body
Liz and I saw a dead body today. For reals. It was wrapped up in a sheet and exiting one of the condos behind the apartment building we live in. It was the weird white van that was parked out in front of the building while we were taking Coco and Coops out to potty...
Day 354: Almost there
The journaling of Ira's work-life continues 😛 I had such high hopes for today...and had to settle for "just enough." There were a couple fires today that needed to be put out with the apartment building, figuratively speaking of course, no *actual* fires. That would...
Day 353: The first play
http://youtu.be/NbxB9T6xYNE It's definitely fall. The weather has turned, and the days are getting shorter. More than that, it's the angle of the sun. There's just not as much light. I never really noticed that when I was younger, I think, because we just got so much...
Day 352: So close…
I'm probably one hour away from finishing this pilot. I just don't know if I have it in me tonight. I'm feeling zombified. Actually, quite like I'm right on the edge of a tall cliff, and I'm just not quite leaping off of it. So, I'm taking a break to write this. See...
Day 351: Up
By all accounts, today should have felt like a "bad" day. I didn't get anything done, except work on my outline for tomorrow. Pretty much everything else I'd tried to set up schedule-wise for myself fell through. And, for various reasons, it wasn't just laziness or...
Day 350: Middling
Felt a bit better today, but I've been dealing with tummy aches. I know. Tragic, those tummy aches. I was able to get some work done early in the day, then I kinda crashed. Hence the title to the blog today. It's been a frustrating week, that's for sure. I just don't...
Day 349: It all makes sense
See, here I was, dumfounded as to why oh why I seemed to be so freaking exhausted these past few days. It just didn't make sense. I wasn't really doing anything all that crazy, after all. Why was I so tired? Today, it all made sense...I was fighting off getting sick....
Day 348: Under the weather
See...I'm not sick. And yet, I slept for almost five hours today. TODAY. I don't mean last night. I mean during the day today. FIVE HOURS. That's not normal. So, I guess, I'm hoping that I'm NOT getting sick. And, honestly, I don't feel like I am. I just felt...under...
Day 347: Inspiration
I thought a lot today about inspiration. Over this past year, I have come to know inspiration rather differently than I had before. Before, inspiration was an all-at-once kind of experience. I'd have an idea, and it would kind of flood out all at once, or at least the...
Day 346: Eighty Nine
I shot an 89 today at the Woodley Lakes golf course down the street in Encino. I broke 90. That's pretty freaking amazing for me. By FAR the best round I have played in a very, very long time. I used to be able to get scores in the upper 80s to low 90s back in the...
