Weekend Update Odds and Ends
Oct. 2nd, 2016 08:57 amITEM: Roadtrip down to the mall and Trader Joe's yesterday netted the usual groceries, some needed replacement kitchen and personal items, some scary-looking candy corn (which I'm told is "that's all you" so I'll probably be eating it until next June), and a bottle of milk stout that apparently also includes sugary breakfast cereal bits.
ITEM: I'd completely forgotten there's a London football game today, Jags versus Colts. And the Colts seem to be phoning it in, sadly.
ITEM: Inktober started yesterday! I'm going to do my best and try to do something every day, even as we'll be on vacation at the end of the month. This is one month-long meme I can get behind. It's a lot of fun, and always rekindles my love of drawing, even if it's one of my many maps or Murph doodles.
ITEM: Six more weeks of this clown show masquerading as the Republican ticket. Will be so happy when it's done with and HRC wins.
ITEM: Noted last night when editing The Balance of Light that I'd gotten to the start of the next chapter and reacted with "Oh, this chapter! I really enjoyed this one..." Sometimes being a writer is a lot of fun. :)
ITEM: Bro-in-law stopped by yesterday to work on a film class exercise with A, and I found myself transported back to 1991 where I was doing my own film homework and slowly coming to the conclusion that I really wasn't the director type, nor a visual creator that I wished I could be. I'm okay with telling others what to do in a project to get it done, but I knew I'd always be let down by the end result because it wasn't exactly what I saw in my head. That's also right about the same time when I realized that writing might not be a bad idea after all.
ITEM (Related): He filmed the entire thing on his cell phone and edited it on his PC back at home. I'm insanely jealous. I had to do all that crap by hand back in my day #yellsatcloud
ITEM (Related): While they did their filming in the living room, I skipped up back and noodled around on my guitar. Figured out a chord from George Harrison's "Beware of Darkness" that had been dogging me for a few days.
ITEM (Related Sort of): I really need to make good on my plan to start recording music in Spare Oom. I even bought a new microphone for it!
And that's my weekend so far. Hope everyone's having fun!
