Day 2,661: sad;lgjhdsa;has

Jfc you guys. This project. Never ending. I’m so close. SO. CLOSE. But…not there yet.

I was hoping I’d be like, DONE done today. Alas, it is not to be. I have some stuff to re-deliver tomorrow, and assuredly will need to re-deliver stuff over the weekend, because anything I get notes on from this point forward won’t be ready to re-deliver until the following day, just because of how this stuff takes to download.

Ugh.

Not what I was hoping for. Usually, this last phase of the QC is perfu...

Day 2,660: Uploadz

Ooo man, have to make this entry a quick one to get it in before midnight but…the project is very nearly done for work. Today was my last BIG work day on it. More stuff here and there, but it should all be mop up and little details from here on out.

Looking forward to a couple light days, tell you that much. And some writing.

Because I’m uploading so much right now for work, I can’t even post the Film School episode for the morning. Will have to get that out when I wake up. Oops. But, it’s...

Day 2,659: Soooooo Clooooosseee

It is the project that never ends. Almost

I’m so, sooooo close to finished. Hoping tomorrow.

I was up so late last night working that I wasn’t able to get up early enough this morning to write, but that’s not happening tomorrow. Getting up on time(ish), which means it’s time for sleep now, and a short entry since it’s already past bed time. Worked late again tonight.

Great day, though. Plus, the Warriors crushed the Spurs again. That was fun.

Night!

Day 2,658: So Close

So so soooooo close to finishing this work project.

I worked extra today. I want to be done. Writing this entry late, so I’m going to leave it here…but it was a good work day. Woke up on time, did my shit, worked late…life is good.

Night!

Day 2,657: Mac

Listening to a song right now that sounds like it could have been written and performed by Mac Miller. I never listened to a lot by him, but what I did like of his I really, really liked. It’s a shame that we lost him. Drugs, man. They’ve taken a lot of amazingly talented people well before their time.

I had a great Sunday. Truly. I feel refreshed and energized. Inspired, even. Just had a nice little brainstorming sesh on Escape from Red Tower, which continues to call me back. And to the same...

Day 2,656: Pizza Night

We had Pizza Night tonight. La Morra Pizzeria was on the menu and hoooollyyy crap…delicious. Really, really delicious. I’d definitely go there again, particularly for their “Patate” pizza, which is kind of a riff on potatoes au gratin. My faaaaavorite is probably the Margherita pizza, but that’s almost always my favorite everywhere and a lot of places have a good Margherita. But, what La Morra had that I’ve never had elsewhere was the Patate.

We watched a ton more episodes of I May Destroy Y...

Day 2,655: Winden

We finished Dark tonight! It was fun. I recommend the show from beginning to end.

I…also GOT UP ON TIME AND IT WAS GREAT. Okay, so it was uncomfortable waking up that early, no doubt. I would much rather have slept in. And I was definitely tired in the late morning. But, after that, it subsided and I had a very normal day for the rest of the day. I didn’t die. My head didn’t roll of my shoulders. I…did it.

And damn. Writing this morning was fire. I wrote for an hour, and I still had an hou...

Day 2,654: Grit

Feeling disconnected tonight and much of today from…a lot. My writing, mostly, but man…I feel like my busy work schedule and the stress of doing new things has caught up to me a bit.

It’s definitely part of a cycle. I get a high off working so hard, and whenever I begin a new adventure. And then I get a high off the grind, the mini wins each day of being productive. I’d say I feel up while working hard about 80% of the time. Maybe 90%. But, inevitably, I get tired, and the focus slips. The en...

Day 2,653: Crunchy Ladies

Making this one quick because it’s already past bed time!

I wonder, truly, how much of who we turn out to be is a result of how we were raised, particularly when we were young, and what kind of brain we’re born with.

Like…all children endure the precariousness and helplessness of being a child. No matter how stable, we all begin life with the conscious and subconscious knowledge that we would die without help from adults. That’s stressful. For all of us. And yet, we turn out so differently...

Day 2,652: 10TB

Technology picked a wonderful (and I mean horrible) time to get all fussy. I’m juuuust about done with this work project, and I got totally locked out of my work drive to kick off what I’d hoped would be a very productive afternoon stint. All because my computer wanted to update.

Update bricked. Then I couldn’t log into the computer once it rebooted, even though I’ve never changed my password. I finally figured out it was a corrupted OS install from the update, so I re-installed the OS. That ...
