Sitting in a hotel room with Jon, watching MiB on a crappy Zenith television. God do I love this movie.
The blogging convention starts bright and early tomorrow at 9. I hope to learn some new things while there, both for my job and for myself. I like the thought of being more social, both offline and on.
Want to write some this weekend, even if it’s just a couple lines like I did last weekend. All it takes is a few words to get your mind rolling.
Though I enjoy just spending time with random people along the way. Plus I have modified business cards with the title of Word Overlord in them. Hahaha.

So incredibly busy lately. I know I say that a lot, and it’s always my excuse for not blogging but it’s entirely true. Work has been delightfully busy. I started softball. Went drinking with the guys a couple times. I’m going to Great America with my family and Rahsaan on Monday.
Perhaps the coolest thing is that I’m collabing with my friend Sandy on a project. I’ll be putting together some grassroots vignettes and she will be doing some art for them. We’re looking for it to be a fun little web project, one that will actually bear fruit and get done.
Maybe in the end we can print.
I love my life right now.

Saturday. It has been productive thus far, since I’ve written the rough for chapter 3 of my project. It’s a challenge to write in the mindset of a woman who’s so much different than yourself. I really like where it’s going. Every little word means something in Amelia’s black and white world.
Stability is nice, but there is much more to life than that. It took me a very long time to realize it. A very long time. I’m 26 and I’m starting to live my life a little fuller than I used to.
I can’t spend it dreaming, no matter how tempting that is and always will be to me.
Tryad has some amazing music available if you’re into chill / electronic music. I highly recommend.
I shall be living my life out in the lights and darkness tonight with my friend. Here’s to good times now and many more to come.
Cheers!

I worry about people a lot. I hate when others are unhappy, struggling and otherwise down and out. Close friends, acquaintances, even co-workers, there has not been a short supply of people to think about lately.
I haven’t written any fiction for myself lately either. I’m not feeling a drive. I tried editing a chapter of something I had written a month ago, but it’s just not running together the way I would like it. Nothing sounds right; the cadence is all wrong.
Shoji Meguro is an amazing composer. I totally dig his guitars and drum work. It’s odd but his music makes me dream in sound. Makes my head hurt, but it’s oh-so worth it.
I’d really like some sushi, but there is no one around to eat it with. I think I’ll settle for some yogurt with granola instead.

I’m alive. Just busy. Need to write more on all levels. At least I wrote two lines for our thing, Zach.
