Another decent day. I actually got writing done today. That felt really, really good. Work was slow, though it’s going to be busy tomorrow and Friday…but that’s okay. I got the little respite I needed to get back in there. Liz is home. It’s windy. Read some Richard...

A better day today. Felt more normal. Did my writing. Wasn’t particularly productive, but I did it, and that’s okay. I just need to get back into th rhythm. Night night.

So, One Battle After Another was pretty good. I’m in. If you read yesterday’s journal entry, I was wagging-the-hand, I-like-it-but-don’t-love-it. After finishing it…I wouldn’t say I love the movie. There Will Be Blood it is not—Leo is a fine actor, but he’s no Daniel...

I have an inkling what it must be like for parents, worrying for their kids. It’s all I can do right now, sitting in bed: worry about them. Will they be okay? I don’t know. I keep thinking of Spock. “Each according to their gifts.” We’re not totally helpless, us...

Got to spend some time with Mir today. She needed a quiet chill place to get some homework done, so she took us up on our offer to have her come over and do it here. She got her stuff done, and we got to visit a bit in the car. She’s hanging in there. Coops and Joy...

Something I’ve learned about storytelling: just because I’m emotional telling a story doesn’t necessarily mean the audience will also be emotional. It’s a good start, for sure. Requisite, even, I think…though maybe not. Maybe one can tell a story wholly rational and...

Doing the finances. In between stuff for work. It’s a hustle. For sure. But it has to be done. I’m late on it already. Sigh. I feel like I’ve been “behind” for several weeks, now. Not able to catch up. Push push push. It’s exhausting. But…I am getting it done. Little...

Tonight’s fine distinction is between cardinal numbers versus ordinal numbers. Cardinal numbers are for counting. 1, 2, 3, etc. Three sheets. Ordinal numbers are for ordering. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. The third inning. Been a long, long time since I last ran into this...

Watched There Will Be Blood tonight. I wanted to watch something really good. It’s what I needed. Don’t really know why, but I could just feel it. I needed to watching something really good, and There Will Be Blood is. First time watching it since…theaters, I think?...
