that's what you say when someone is taking your picture in Japan. Of course it makes your lips pucker, which may or may not be a good thing. Today, the coffee is not keeping me alert, rather it is making my stomach sour and my eyes heavy. Not sleeping well at all, trying to get to the point where breathing with my belly becomes second nature.
tomorrow begins the nanowrimo month and i'm ready to blast off into my 50,000 word galaxy. I started something earlier today and I'm thinking I should procure a laptop to keep me going at all times. Only, where do I get one? I have no real novelesque ideas; I'm just hoping it all comes together one word at a time. Hopefully it won't be a self-indulgent mess. A sort of bullshit memoir. Actually if that's what it becomes, that's fine with me. Because a novel based on the gaseous thinkings of moi may still become great American Literature.
I need to troubleshoot the computer system here at work - I'm trying to edit my project, and so far I've gotten nothing done. Mostly because I can't seem to get the deck to input into the computer, but also because I am tired and filled with sugar and caffeine and have the attention of a shitsu on crack.
Whatever happened to Ione Skye? I'll ponder that, and then look her up on Imdb.com.
Jet Lag or Simply Lazy?
I'm back. Almost two months of bloglessness and I'm embarrassed and ashamed. This should never happen and if I could promise that it will never happen again I would, but the truth is that when it comes to priorities, face to face blogging will always win out.
I think I'm addicted to music downloading. I've downloaded over 100 albums in the past week. And have I listened to more than 3 of them? I think you know the answer to that. But although it may seem like an addiction, I see it as a chance to expand my musical vocabulary and in turn, your musical vocabulary, as I am a believer in sharing my wealth with others. If only I could get paid for my musical expansiveness.
I was up until 4am last night downloading songs and trying to teach myself DVD Studio Pro 2. At the same time. Not the most productive method of learning new software. I need to make a DVD of the Mosaic Project video I made last year. I can certainly do the DVD in IDVD, but I didn't pirate DVD Studio Pro 2 to sit on my computer and collect viruses. I needed a deadline project like this to get my ass in gear; unfortunately the gear is stuck in my ass and that gear is neutral. It's time to relax my sphincter and get moving.
I'm gonna sign up for the Nanowrimo Contest. Will I actually write 20,000 words in the month of November? Chances aren't good. I tend to use a lot of big words and ponder deeply on heavy concepts and this isn't conducive to the quantity over quality design of Nanowrimo. But I'll try and see if something good can come of such a project. I will encourage Keely to complete the task, even if I give up around the 5,000 word level.
Why is there so much good fucking music out there? Why can't I be closed minded and into Scottish Polka and only Scottish Polka? It's quite a burden to be so open minded and knowledgable on such a wide variety of musics. It's the curse a genius like me has to bear.
Regarding the jet lag....I slept from 4am until past noon and although that is indeed 8 hours which is the recommended nightly allowance according to the FDA, I cannot help but feel guilty, like I am somehow disappointing my fans by not using those sleeping hours to create great literature, funky beats, exotic recipes, subtly subversive documentaries. A guys gotta get his beauty sleep is how I would respond. Have you seen the bags under my eyes? When I go to the supermarket, the checkers don't even ask me whether I want paper or plastic anymore; they figure I can just load the groceries in my face.
So, this is the end of today's blog. Just so you know, the soundtrack to today's blog is The Pernice Brothers' "Australia 2002."
