8 hours, 9 good pages. I edited along the way, but this is still a vomit draft. I could tighten it some more with my wording, but I didn't because I like it as is for now. I'll see to that later with a fresher mind. I covered a lot of ground in the story. These 9 pages cover happenings in between a month and a half. I'm content and dead tired. Yep, another all-nighter. I started writing in the wee hours and didn't imagine I'd end up writing so much, so focused. Anyhow, since I can barely type anymore, I think I'll let it rest and put on a show or something. My back is killing me, but my conscience is as light as a feather. I'll go for a walk tomorrow whatever the case. Goodnight!
Life is ironically strange sometimes; makes no sense to your advantage. I just enrolled in a programme for attending some classes via zoom. The theoretical classes last 200 hours and after that I'm gonna get paid 1000 euros. If only school was always like that I'd be rich by now.
Right now I've just sat back at my desk again to psyche myself up to log back into my day job, it's not that I hate my job, just having worked from home since march last year has really done a number on my motivation
Watching some weird political drama on TeeVee. Pretty improbable plot line, tbh, but we'll see how the new season goes
Watching the Inauguration and contemplating how to bring my own administration at work to a smooth transition of power. Getting a little tired of this hamster wheel. Might be time to let some other idiot spin themselves into oblivion.
Riding a euphoric high due to elections and personal life. Trying not to do anything too crazy, yet wanting to bask in it for as long as it lasts.
Being working through the aftermath of 2020 recently. Will return and make some critiques eventually.
Just came back from a 20 minute wall stare. Netflix asked if I was still watching Star Trek, but the controller was out of reach, so I just kind of spaced out for a while. Now I'm going to go write.
That's really good for your brain, you know. I read an article about it once in a popular science magazine. Resting your cerebral muscles increases focus. Either that or you have dementia.
Played the frets for a bit. Starting to have a bit more confidence in my fingers actually doing what I want them to for a change.
Watching A Hard Day’s Night. It’s a curious film but no less brilliant for it. The dialogue exchanges are wonderful. Reporter: “What would you call that, err, hairstyle you’re wearing?” GH: “Arthur.” And why were the women in the 60s so much more beautiful than they are these days??
Me on my 3rd drink: -tells parents- tastes like liver failure (Last night was tipsy Jenga and i laughed so hard i nearly threw up)
What a busy day of reading and writing. Finished a 2500 word article, beta read most of a novel and submitted responses, came up with two more ideas for the short story collection, created a new character, and now I'm off to read yet another horror novel for study. It's an endless weekend of work work work. But at least it's in subjects I enjoy.
Drinking whiskey, listening to dramatic music and trying to shut my vacant mind off. Not thinking of something in specific, but I can't shut it down. Tomorrow it's protest day. I decided to go. It's malox, cardio and a hell lot-a-panic. Not exactly where I was dreaming of finding myself at, but... oh well. Bottoms up.
Angel's Envy bourbon with a little splash of water here. Excellent stuff. Kind of hard to fine... one of those bourbons that was ahead of the limited allocation curve before it was fashionable. Rhode Island might get half a dozen cases a month. And only to a handful of liquor stores.
Depends on the label. Good stuff likes a splash to preserve nose and temperature. The utility stuff? Definitely on the rocks and down the hatch. I'm in a sipping mood tonight. Tomorrow might be more down the hatch.
The protest was fine. No drama or violence occurred. It was big. Over 12.000 people big and all the measurements were kept as good as it goes and to those that object by saying: "but pandemic" the answer is: "then don't go legislating fascist educational laws and reformations during a pandemic". They won't pass unnoticed. It's been ages since I saw so many people on such a fine day.
Went out to buy boots. Couldn’t find anywhere selling boots. Bought a bottle of G and a bottle of T instead.
