Yesterday A. and I went downtown to the March for Science. This is the second time I've walked down a considerable length of Market Street from the Ferry Building down to City Hall. Technically it's just over a mile, but it's up a very slight incline most of the way (going from the edge of the Bay inland) and at the speed of everyone else in front of me. Not to mention a good hour standing at Justin Herman Plaza beforehand. Or standing on a VERY slow and VERY packed N-Judah train. And walking a few blocks to the bus stop to head home. And that we got up and did our shopping today, at the speed of every other person in front of us (and leaving their cart dead center in the aisle, natch). And walking over to Sakana Bune afterwards for a sushi lunch.
Suffice it to say, mah dogs is barkin' something fierce. I'm even at the point where I don't want to do the laundry today, even though the machines are open at the moment. [I usually do it Monday or Tuesday during Day Job hours anyway, when most everyone else in the building is out.] I walked down the street for some coffee, and that's about as much as I'm doing physically for the rest of the day.
Writingwise, I've gotten caught up with outlining the original 750 outtakes for Meet the Lidwells and at this point I'm just filling in some gaps. I had a lot of holes in the band's discography (which I'm using as the chronology anchor to the plot), not to mention the barest of endings in mind. BUT! I've gotten those squared away for the most part. The only big thing I need to lay out is the timeline -- in particular, the ages of the band members, when the music was recorded, that sort of thing. It's not set in stone, but it does make for better continuity.
In other writing stuff...as much as I'd love to pick up the 750 Daily Words again, now is not the right time. At least not when I'm trying to get a new project off the ground. It's annoying, yes, but I must be patient. Once I get into the groove of the Lidwells project, then I'll be able to set aside some time and brainspace for it. That doesn't mean I can't play around with some new ideas, though. My hardback moleskine is starting to gather a bit of dust with the lack of stuff being put into it. Again -- I just have to be patient. Soon enough.
In the meantime, going to enjoy the lovely weather we've been having lately! Slight breeze, but it's nice to be able to have the windows open to let in fresh air! This is the time of the year when San Francisco has the nicest weather -- mid-60s, sunny and clear, slightly breezy. Just how I like it. :)
