Day 2,064: New TV
So, we have a new TV in the Ho-Heinichen household.
Wait! You might reasonably respond. Didn’t you juuust get a new TV?
Well, yes. Thank you for keeping score. We did. But that TV didn’t fucking work, so after trying to get it repaired for foreeevveeerrrrr (two weeks), I was able to just bring it in tonight to the store I bought it from and switch it out for a new one. Whew!
Work today was great. I didn’t finish, which surprised me a bit, this particular section of work is taking me a little...

Day 2,063: Brain Tired
I had an odd night tonight. Nothing really to do, no projects that were a pressing need…and I think I just kinda gave into the “tired.” Or, maybe feeling just a bit down. In a normal “up and down” kind of way, not anything too intense.
I didn’t feel like that during the day, though.
I had a very productive work day at work. And on my reading. And on my writing.
I just kinda…fell flat when I got home. It happens sometimes, I guess.
Burned out, actually…that’s what I feel like tonight. “Brain”...

Day 2,062: Fine
I think I’m about two weeks into writing every day. Love that shit. I just wrote some new words for the military sci-fi story I have in mind. It’s a great opening. Vivid to me. It’s such a contrast to the rest of the book. I love it. It feels real.
So, yeah…at the very least, I’ve been able to set myself a habit of writing creatively every day. It’s only 10 minutes, but each and every time I sit down to do those ten minutes, I feel engaged and present and not just totally stressed out.
I love...

Day 2,061: Sat-onmyass-urday
I was lazzzzyyyy today.
Kicked off with waking up late. GDit I was tired. Coops and I went on a nice morning walk. It was all grey this morning, which suited us fine. Nice and cool.
Ate breakfast and finished making notes for this week’s Film School podcast. Didn’t get the chance to move ahead on our recording schedule this week due to unforeseen complications, but at least we’re still on time

Day 2,060: Glorious and Terrifying
Just did my writing session. I think I’m over two weeks now of writing every day.
I LOVE IT.
My brain is starting to feel quieter now when I sit down to write. What a relief. I’m finally feeling clearer, not the panic attack from before…less pressure. And more ambition. I’m starting to feel that again.
It’s just worth it for me to sit down to write and have no expectations of what’s going to come out, no word count goals, and to just write and write and write until something magical happens....

Day 2,059: Buzzing
I was just loading up tonight’s entry here, and caught sight of last night’s.
I am still buzzing from how good the script was in The Apartment. Insanely good. People talked, for the most part, like they do today. Today, you could hear someone witty come up with “well, that’s the way it crumbles, cooke-wise.” Little funny play on a turn of phrase like that. Genius.
Just genius.
Billy Wilder: I don’t know why I haven’t done a deep dive into your work before. I certainly am now.
I’m also buzzing...

Day 2,058: Well…
“Well, that’s the way it crumbles, cookie-wise.”
Josh and I watched the romantic comedy classic (standard, even?) The Apartment. For reals, it’s astonishing how a 60-year-old black and white movie is, for all intents and purposes, the same exact movie we’re still making today. Down to Shirley MacLaine running down the New York sidewalk to reunite with Jack Lemmon.
It was a lovely movie, and hopefully a good podcast.
Long day, and I’m up early in the morning.
Night!

Day 2,057: Toofs
Coco has to cutest toofs. These little nubbins on the bottom of the front of her mouth.
Coco was on the streets long enough to have most of her teeth broken, or lost. At least that’s what the vet says. That’s what happens to dogs when they’re on their own. Poor thing. What she has left isn’t much. But, damn…if it isn’t adorable

Day 2,056: Le Quicks
Tonight’s has to be a quick one again, but not as quick as last night’s.
I had…an uneven day today. Any of my Netflix co-workers reading this one: I struuuuggled with my Flix work today. I have no idea why. It happened. Sigh…
Tomorrow: I shall do better.
Maybe it’s because I know I can pretty much fly through these pulls I’m doing, and I just procrastinated too long today. Blech. That made me feel anxious for a good part of the day. Hate it. But…tomorrow is another day.
I had a ton of buildin...

Day 2,055: Hmmm
Man, I don’t really know what to write about…
I had a good day. I slept. A lot. Which is exactly what I needed. And right now, Coco is preeeeessed up against me. So close.
She was down in reindeer bed on the floor, and I came down to have some snuggle time with Coopey…and she got out of reindeer bed to snuggle up against me on the floor. All on her own.
She is pressed up against me so close right now I can’t even type with two hands.
I love her so much.
Well…that means we;re cutting this one...
