Day 1,678: Writerly

The writing was good today!

Twas a much more relaxing day for me today, for whatever reason. Not as up tight, or anxious. I just kind of enjoyed my day.

I wrote.

I did building work.

I watched some baseball, and the movie Cargo…which I’ll do a write up on tomorrow, I guess. I forgot to do that today

Day 1,677: Dayoff

Ahhhh.

I had the day “off” today, ie- I only wrote 1,000 words, and did work around the apartment building

2018 Movie #31: Speed Racer

I remember this movie being blasted when it first came out. I never saw it. And then I read these articles over the past couple weeks about how this movie has turned into a cult classic in the ten years after its release…and it’s streaming on Netflix. I had to check it out.

THE BLURB:

Born into a family business of race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is one of the track’s hot stars. Sitting at the wheel of his Mach 5, he consistently deflates the competition. When Speed turns down an offer...

Day 1,676: Burnt

Burnt myself to a crisp today. Not in a sunburn or oven kind of way. In the “my mind is fried because I wrote so much” way.

I wrote 3,000 words. More than that, actually, almost 3,500 I think. It waaas shy of 4,000 words, which was my goal, but damn. I’ve written more in the past two days than I ever have. Ever. And, I am pretty wiped out. There may be some day in the not-to-distant future where I can do that many words three days in a row, but that day is not tomorrow.

Tomorrow…for the first...

Day 1,675: 4K Day

(huh – for whatever reason this didn’t post last night)

I had an excellent writing day today, which is good news if you read my post last night

2018 Movie #30: The House

I remember seeing the trailer for this movie last year. I liked it. I wanted to see it. In retrospect, seeing it in theaters would have been a mistake. It’s not all bad, but seeing on my couch was definitely the best way to watch it.

THE BLURB:

Scott and Kate Johansen must figure out a way to earn some money after their daughter’s scholarship falls through. When all else fails, the desperate couple join forces with their neighbor Frank to start an underground casino in his home. As the cash r...

Day 1,674: So Close

I am SO CLOSE to finishing this book. It’s been frustrating to have a few mediocre writing days over the past four days or so…but I will not be deterred.

Tomorrow is going to be a GREAT writing day. A great one. I can’t wait

Day 1,673: Warriors

Happy Memorial Day, everybody. Thank you to the fallen. You gave your lives to protect the freedoms I enjoy in this country, and I will be forever grateful to you for that.

And speaking of Warriors…the Dubs did it. They did it!

A fourth straight Cavs/Warriors Finals it shall be. Golden State will enter the series heeaavvvyyyyy favorites…but let me tell you – do not take the series for granted. I won’t. I hope they don’t, because any team with LeBron on it is a potential championship team. For...

Day 1,672: Going to Bed Early

I am going to bed early! Yes, I am old…but that’s not why, assholes

Day 1,671: What a day…

Man, as I’m thinking back on how to write about today…today was all over the place!
