    Doing a multitude of things the past 3 hours.

    Been listening to a zoom class (barely), while watching a korean series muted (barely), while playing guitar ( @OurJud got me into this :p ) and chatting on messenger. I feel kinda bored and unfocused. I think I'm gonna go for a walk or something.

    Hooray! This sounds like great stuff for a Progress Journal. You can start one on that forum, under Applied Writing.

    Congratulations on pushing through. How many chapters are you hoping to end up with?

    Oh! Can you just listen to a Zoom class, without your face hanging there onscreen for all to see? I had my second Zoom meeting a few weeks ago, and got kind of self-conscious. Didn't dare even to finish my dinner.

    Oh cool, thanks for the heads up.

    I've got the fever, it's just coming naturally to me so I'm thinking I best charge through as much as I can before burnout. I'll have a look at the Applied writing stuff. Cheers.

    Unless of course you're screwing from the other side (insert joke), like beneath a table or around the back of a hard to reach surface. Then the whole thing is reversed.

    Watching a two-hour compilation called The Best of Glastonbury, which consists of a single song from the sets of various performers over the years. There's about 10 minutes of the show left (so probably the last act), and so far I've known who only four of the acts have been o_O

    I ain't got no cam. :p I mute it and do as I like but in my defence today's class was with a teacher that still struggles with how to operate zoom and most of the class was her trying to... make things work. It was kinda funny in a cute way, but yeah... 3 hours of it.

    I think it would still be to the right, though, wouldn't it? It's not as if your turning the screwdriver by its head.

    ^ Until you're screwing upside-down. Then you have to go through some weird mental gymnastics to figure it out.

    Not if you're looking at it from the other side, though I suppose your wrist still turns in the same direction. So, yeah, maybe? Guess you're right... but you're looking at your wrist backwards, too.

    Way too drunk to sort this out.

    I guess I always visualize the screwdriver from above in those situations.

    Trying my hand a blackjack for the first time in years. Need to at least gamble a little if you stop in Vegas for a bit, even if it's only a night or two.

    Our go blind on shrimp cocktail and strippers. My first big job was at a casino... saw some shit no 19 year old ever should. Every day was a new low. In a good way.

    Thinking about skipping class... again... It's too hot today and wearing a mask in the train is torture. When I thought that things couldn't get any more difficult. I'd rather stay home and write my script, but should I? Not sure...

    Lord, am I glad I'm done with school. Love learning, even enjoyed attending class, but being beholden to the whole grind? No thanks.
