Day 3,814: Day Like Tomorrow

We’re almost done with our re-watch of The Terror. Season 1. It’s a goddamn masterpiece. Yup. It’s. SO. GOOD. A masterclass in…everything, honestly. And it’s perfection in the sense that it’s one and done. Sure, there’s a season 2, but it’s an entirely different show. Completely different story. Like, dammit, what’s it called. Anthology. Like an anthology series. And season 2 is garbage, unfortunately. Season 1, though…the actual story of the HMS Terror and Erebus. A masterpiece.

A good sunda...

Day 3,813: He Chose It

It’s a late one. We were out at USC seeing our friend Joe’s world premier of a play he wrote in the Playwriting masters program over there. He graduates at the end of this term. So freaking proud of him! So proud.

Liz and I got to go together, and it was wild being back on that campus together. We kissed for the first time on that campus. Our very first date. And Liz did two shows in the very same theater we saw Joe’s show in. Almost twenty years ago. TWENTY. YEARS. How has that much time pas...

Day 3,812: Handsome Boy

I wrote today. That was good. What a busy, busy couple weeks. I hung with it pretty good, all things considered. Genuinely. There’s not much time for else when you’re pulling twelve, fourteen hour days with work. And those days mean recovery time for me. That’s always the hardest part for me, the recovery days where I could be writing, but I just can’t seem to get to the page. It’s burnout. I know that. But, still…any time I could be writing and I’m not never fails to make me feel like crap.

Day 3,811: S’Rainin

It rained today, even though it wasn’t in the forecast…which is wild, because I could tell it was going to rain from the moment I stepped outside this morning, lol. It’s a cold rain, too, though blessedly not that windy. Didn’t rain for long—maybe an hour or so…but everything is wet and shiny, now. And the air is cooold. Reminds me of…home. April showers. Before the May warmup and school is almost out.

I wanted to write today. I didn’t have the energy. But, I will tomorrow. I’m getting up on ...

Day 3,810: Coopey

A much more normal day. Finally.

It’s past bed time though, so we’re going to bed. Night night!

Day 3,809: Bizzy

Another crazy busy day. Been a lot of them! But we persist.

It’s past bed time, so that’s all I have for you tonight. Nighty night.

Day 3,808: Please, My Son

Wiped. Work. So busy. So, sooooo busy. But, we persist. And I got my stuff done! Crossed a big threshold today, which was nice. Another team really liked what we were working on.

Anyway…night night. Need a good sleep.

Day 3,807: Under Covers

Joy put herself under the covers tonight. She’s back up out of them right now, but she wrapped herself up under one of the blankets before we came into bed. lol. It’s a chilly night tonight, I guess. And she wants to be cozy. Now she’s up on top of Liz’s lap. That’s the Joy report.

We started 3 Body Problem tonight. The first episode was fine. Not great. I’ve heard, though, that it takes a few episodes to ratchet up, which is fine. What makes me nervous, though, is that I don’t care about any...

Day 3,806: S’rainin

A rainy day with bits of cloudy sunshine speckled in there. We did a lay-in. Slept in waaaay late. 1:30 for her, and the same for me, except I got up at 8 and was awake for a few hours—breakfast, walked dogs, watched some old F1 racing—and then I went back and joined her because I was falling asleep on the couch.

It was a busy busy week. For sure. I really needed this weekend to chill.

I was thinking about some characters in my upcoming book today, listening to music and driving over to Ni...

Day 3,805: A New Book

Another really, really busy day today. Whew. But, we’re here at the weekend. It’s raining outside. The dripping kind. Pups are snuggled up in bed. It’s sleepy time. I’ll have more to say tomorrow, I’m sure. For now…it’s simply “night night.”
