One of my least favorite things about these short holiday breaks is having to put my watch back on as I get ready for the first day back at work. The physical presence bothers me due to the implications. No longer am I operating on natural time. Now it's machine time. Imposed time. Now it is all clock time and schedules. Now it is trained...

As writers, we act out against convention,
and despite prior attachments and strong family values
we look, continually, for new and indiscreet relationships.
Maybe they start in the produce aisle at that grocery store.
Perhaps we find them in places on the internet where
no one knows we go.
Occasionally they form in the seedier, dark corners of a
gender specific adult establishment.

that gave me chills

Thank you. I really appreciate your kind words and support.
I have such a tendency to get wrapped up in the daily activities that i lose track of myself. Days and days of being wrapped up in work and focused on making it to the next thing that has to be done, that I lose track of me. I'm realizing that I miss writing. I spend all day working on writing and textual analysis but...

I miss writing so much, but I feel like I have nothing worth while to say. Good luck if you find someway to get the spark back...you'll have to share you secret with me. 
saint:
The daily activities are the inspiring ones. If we go through life looking for the insiring moments we'll overlook all of the beautiful minutiae we experience everyday. Try writing a little everyday about one thing that made you think or smile, but writing what you want to not what you feel forced to write. Something will come.
Also, I wanted to thank you for your kind words. There's something beautiful to start my day with.

Today is my birthday, and I'm headed to work on four hours of crappy sleep. I'm looking forward to seeing the first sg set of the day so I can see who my "birthday girl" is this year. And it's Wed. so I get to see my friend on TV again tonight. Hurray for reality tv shows.
For now, there isn't enough coffee.

I doubt I'll be able to stop at season 1. I think it would probably kill me, if it ends on as big of a cliff hanger as I'd expect it to. The good news is that even though I'm enjoying it and it has me 'hooked' so to speak, I still don't expect it to be good. Low expectations always help you to enjoy something.
I can never decide if I prefer Dead Man or Ghost Dog. They're so similar and yet so very different. Both amazing of course. I'd definitely take the Neil Young score over the RZAs.

Columbus may have been a bastard, but he got me the day off from work today. That isn't to say that I don't have work to do, it just means I don't have to do at a specific time. For example, I think now is not the time. Now is Nap time. And all will be just a bit better afterwards.

columbus got me monday off, but i scored myself friday off.
and i'm sure there will be time for naps.

Fucking foul mood today. Work lasted to long. Wanted get home to my stash of whiskey and cigarettes. Just surly. No real reason. Don't know what my problem is.
Wish I felt I was as good as people seem to tell me am.
Now I'll bang drums and rock some guitar. Maybe the noise will help my headache go away. Maybe the whiskey and smokes.

The seasons are changing. Days and nights are rearranging. And I am trying to keep my head on straight. Each day gets shorter now, which of course plays with my head. Especially when the budget is this tight and we only have the cheaps to eat and drink. I'm a fan of good food and good liquor, I'm not going to lie, but the bank...

Another week down and all is well. Still struggling to communicate with my Turkish student. Wish I had a babblefish. There really isn't a whole lot else going on.
I've been on another big socialist history kick. I'm fascinated by Castro and how he has been vilified by the US, but has done so much less wrong than some of the leaders that we put...

I wish I could help you, I took Spanish all four years of high school, and I have to get through 202 in college, and I never use it outside of the classroom, and therefore have no kind of handle or comfort level with it. But I do with you the best, I think you'll find a lot of it quite easy. There are many cognates (and false cognates) as I'm sure you know.

It's been a long couple of weeks, but work has started out really smoothly this go round. It is so much work though to get to know and love so many new kids. I got to know all of my students so well last year, and now it is all starting over. It is really difficult to form 90 new relationships all at once. But...

I feel like the book was such an extremely strong framework. It had a great story, great characters, and presumably great dialogue. Coen bros. brought it to screen impeccably - keeping the story, characters, and dialogue strong.
Javier and the rest of the cast really brought their characters to life.
I can't really speak of anything the critics have said because I stay far far away from them. I hate film critics.
I think that in any case Coen bros. deserve credit for creating the film they did.
(Oh, and I'm always happy to have someone disagree with me as long as they're not a fuckwit. Seeing as you're not, all it does is makes for good discussion!)
