It seems like with writing, its so easy to get ridiculously far removed from reality. It's like in some ways there's a freedom from limitation, but at the same time not having that limitation just makes it easy to ignore parameters in such a way that the writing just veers into oblivion. I'm not really sure how to explain it better than that. I can say though that with really good writers that I like, they always seem to know how to avoid that and to keep it down to earth.
I ate too much garbage over the weekend, just going out with the family, we went out to a restaurant on Saturday and then to a BBQ on Sunday, had cake, etc. I threw out teh rest of the birthday cake this morning so I don't eat anymore of it. There's not that much left but I just want to have it around. That food always slows me down. The food I normally eat is rice, beans, vegetables, this type of thing. Of course the old joke is that you are hungry again and hour later, but its not really like that. The fullness after eating Asian food is different than the fullness after eating say a steak or something. You know what I'm saying. I don't want to sound like a food snob though, I do eat junk food once in a while and don't really sweat it. You can't ruin several days of dieting just because you ate a greaseburger, but if you haven't eaten a greaseburger in a while you will know the difference as it sits in your stomach like a rock.
I slept for a while, just waking up now. I want to work on a song. It may have to wait until later tonight though. It has to be done by 1:30 otherwise I have to start getting ready for work.
The father-in-laws family is going to have us over now, another birthday party I guess, that's cool. I'm not typically one to go out that much but I appreciate the gesture. I've slept a lot today, basically since I got home earlier so hopefully I'll be awake later when I get back and maybe can work on a video or something.
Just waking up. Did essential stuff around the house, but other than that I pretty much slept all day. I heard a great song I want to try and record, I tried to play it just now but couldn't work it out. I'll try it again later.
I've got a lot of calls in the past hour or so, plus the web project I did earlier in the week had a problem, got to work on that for a minute. Not a big deal though I hope to be done soon.
I was going to work on the story some more, but I'm kind of tired, I can't think very well right now. I need to sleep for a minute. Be back later ...
It's 3:30 AM but at least I finally feel rested. I'm just eating some breakfast and drinking some coffee out of my gas station cup, and then I'm going to work on a video.
I'm exhausted today. I worked on this update until about 5 am, then slept maybe 2 hours or so, got up and worked on it so I could show it to my boss at 8 am and be done with it, but he wanted all these changes plus other stuff that needed to be done. So now I have to start work in an hour with hardly any sleep. If it's slow later on I'll probably try to sleep.
On the plus side, I got these cool disposable coffee cups. They look the kind you would have seen at Starbucks before it closed near you. Not really .. it has a spillproof lid, etc. These are the things that get me excited. I'm easily amused, woo hoo!
Later
I've been busy today working on this thing for work, like putting a contest on a website. It's pretty basic but just kind of tedious. Hopefully it will done before too long then I can work on a video.
