Day 3,138: Billy

We watched The VVitch tonight. Horror film that garnered some acclaim a few years back. Always looked like the kind of horror film I would like, and I was right. It was the kind of horror film I actually enjoy watching…except it wasn’t all that great.

Don’t get me wrong. The movie was fine. But it was *frustratingly* close to being great, and it made some mistakes, or didn’t go far enough in some key areas that left both Liz and I feeling disappointed in the end. Which is a bummer, because ag...

Day 3,137: Tattoo

Late. Quick one.

Amelie still holds up! Whew. Haven’t seen it for literally 20 years, and I only saw it that once…but it’s still pretty damn good y’all. Not perfect—the love story has some bumps and bruises…but they stick the landing. And that SCORE. My god. It’s literally one of the greatest soundtracks ever in film.

Great podcast discussion about it. Drops not next week, but the following.

Night night.

Day 3,136: Y’all

The Deep End on Hulu continues to be absolutely banana boat batshit.

The Warriors lost game 1 to the Celtics. They’re in trouble. For real. I’m not counting them out yet, but they need to make an adjustment. We’ll see how game 2 goes. See if we can steal one in Boston. 7 game series is a long series. There’s still time to recover…

Accidentally woke up late this morning. Not too bad. I still got in a writing sesh, but I really REALLY wanted to get in two…and I fucked that. So…tomorrow morni...

Day 3,135: Everything In Its Place

Starting to feel a box form around my writing, and in a GOOD way. Like, something I can turn on and off. I turn it on in the morning…and then I get to stop and turn it off until the next day. The ONLY thing still not quite up to snuff is getting in my full two hours. Gotta get up on time to reach that.

So…in that spirit…a short one tonight. It’s sleepy time.

Oh! Except to say that we started Under The Banner Of Heaven on Hulu and…we’re bailing about 1/4 of the way into episode 2. SUPER int...

Day 3,134: Better!

I didn’t quite wake up on time this morning…but I *did* wake up early enough to get in my writing. And it was a solid sesh. Whew.

Better. That’s good enough right now. Just trying to do better each day. We went and got groceries from Costco. That was progress, too. We were down to the nubbins on a bunch of stuff. Now, we’re proper re-stocked and ready for the next couple weeks.

Got my work done. Prepared for my client meeting in the morning. Always exciting and nerve-wracking to meet with ...

Day 3,133: Le Quick

Doing a quick one tonight…though I feel like a lot of these entries are quick these days. It ebbs and flows, this blog. Sometimes, I go on stretches where I’m very verbose, lots to say, lots to share, lots I want to remember.

It’s not that I don’t want to remember things right now. Truly, it’s the opposite…which makes me want to write more. I’m in a big part of my life right now. New house. Turning a corner on the writing…

But, it’s exactly all that big stuff that drains me a bit when I co...

Day 3,132: Double Sunday!

Going to bed super late, but you know what? It don’t matter because I don’t have to be up early tomorrow!

Little stressed out that I didn’t get writing done today, and I probably won’t tomorrow…but I *can*. I don’t *have* to wake up early in order to write.

We’ll see. Wish me luck.

Therapy was great. Took a massive nap (needed it). Got to see Aaron and Marie and Sherlynn at Lawrie’s in Beverly Hills. My first time there. Twas delicious.

Night!

Day 3,131: Narcissism

Y’all…this documentary on Teal Swan is WILD. Holy shit.

It’s making me think about empathy. Psychopaths don’t have it. Which is tricky, because they still form attachments, they still surround themselves with people…but, it’s kind of like how babies or animals will do the same thing, but not actually have empathy; they NEED those people. The attachments they form are out of necessity to get what they need. Same thing with babies. Same thing with animals (so far as we can tell, but we can tell...

Day 3,130: Igloo

Such a great time podcasting tonight. We were feeling it.

Writing solid this morning! I’ve found a groove. Thank you JAYSUS. Netflix work was solid, too! Shouldn’t be too crazy next week, I hope. We’ll see. Always depends on how many new projects roll in.

Tomorrow, I’m getting a new computer monitor (new to me) and putting up curtains finally. Wish me luck!

Day 3,129: Dubs

First order of business for today: the Warriors are going back to the NBA Finals. It’s the sixth time in eight years. That’s…insanely impressive. Steph, Klay and Dray are back together. They still have it. We’re still good.

We have a shot to win it all. Can’t ask for more than that, really. If we stay healthy, which is a big if now that these guys are older, we’re going to win it. I’ll go ahead and call that right now.

Writing was solid today. Not great, but solid. Netflix work was on my m...
