Day 2,118: Procrastinator

I procrastinated editing together and posting the Film School podcast episode all day today for some reason.

I think I was just tired. That’s been a theme for damn sure all week

Day 2,117: The A’s Win Again!

Just had a dope little writing sesh. I wrote the opening chapter of a completely new project.

A’s won again today. That’s three in a row against the Astros, who were just a few days ago, the best team in all of baseball record-wise.

We go for the four-game sweep tomorrow, and you’d better believe the Astros are going to place their fucking faces off tomorrow. I hope we will, too. It would pull us within striking distance of the division if we could manage the win.

Anyway…it’s late. I had a ve...

Day 2,116: A’s Win

The A’s won a squeaker tonight in Oakland.

3-2 in 13 innings. We won a game that Justin Verlander started. We didn’t beat him…he got a no-decision…but it’s still significant. That’s the best we’ve been able to do against him for a long, long time.

The Astros have played a level above us so far this year. Entering this series, we had 8 more games against them to prove we could play at their level. So far, we’ve won the first two contests. I hope we win all 6 of the rest

Day 2,115: Emotional

I feel like I’ve been more emotional lately in my day to day.

Actually, scratch that. That’s not what I feel. What I feel is that I’m more in tune with the emotions that I’ve always been feeling. And rather than judging them or fixating on them, I’m doing better at recognizing that they’re there and sitting with them.

That is hard.

It’s particularly hard with the more anxiety-ridden feelings and thoughts.

I was in the shower tonight, and thinking about my day, and how I’ve been feeling very r...

Day 2,114: 1AM???

It’s 1am??? Already?

Crap. Podcasted with Josh. Ran late. Have to get up early to talk about my latest writing with J.

Which means sleep

Day 2,113: Mic Check

So, I’m writing this entry late. Uuuuggghhh.

I was testing out my new podcasting setup and it had some kinks. That was expected…but I just started to check it all out and troubleshoot too late

Day 2,112: Keep Hope Alive

I got to go to a screening tonight of Liz’s first-ever starring role in a feature film. Man, is it crazy to type that out. I’m so freaking proud of her.

The film is called Keep Hope Alive, at least that’s what the working title of it was/is. It’s finished; cut together, music, most of post-production (if not all, actually–it may be entirely complete). It’s a riff off Weekend at Bernie’s if “Bernie” were Bernie Sanders.

And it was delightful. You never know how a project is going to come toget...

Day 2,111: LT

Pro tip: if you get an error message on your AC unit with the letters “LT,” it means “low temperature” and the unit needs to shut off for a while so that ice doesn’t form on the condenser coils.

Learned something, yo!

I was a little depressed today. It happens. My session yesterday at therapy really wiped me out. But…I just kinda rolled with it, you guys. I let it be. I still got my podcast stuff done, but otherwise I just kinda floated through the day. Not my ideal way to spend a day, but it...

Day 2,110: Therapy

Therapy is some good shit, y’all.

First session back from a couple weeks away and it was…intense.

I…well, I guess it’s personal for right now. It’s a bunch of stuff I’m just beginning to work through, but the point is that I realize there are things about myself I need and want to work through, and I’m so, so glad that I’m going each week.

Being a human is complicated. We do a lot of things for reasons we don’t always understand. It makes me feel healthy and empowered to examine those things...

Day 2,109: Friyay

Coops just did a stanky leg. It’s a patented Coco move, actually. He scratched his ear, then sniffed it once he was finished
