Filler Time

Current Tunes: Narrows – Newly Restored

I got off to such a great start this June and I’ve let it go pretty easily. I can’t find the energy to go work out, not the positive energy anyway. I’ll end up working out, but it won’t be with the enthusiasm I had weeks ago. Instead what’s driving me to do it is more like a desire to punish myself for being so weak-willed and thoughtless. But I’ve got to keep trying.

Classes started yesterday, and as a consequence later this evening I will go in search of textbooks. That’s a real bloody annoying chore, but obtaining the books from libraries instead of actually purchasing them is incredibly cost-effective. That’s a free tip for those of you still out there in college-land.

Then even later, “Transformers: RotF” tonight! Been anticipating this for a while, and it will be oh so nice to see a real summer blockbuster.

I want a job. I want a job right now. I’m willing to accept the idea that perhaps I can work and do school at the same time. So where do I find one? Keep in mind, I’m looking for a job as a writer, not a salesman or grocery-bagger or what have you. I don’t think economies like the one we’re in now are particularly hungry for new writing jobs, but I knew what I was getting into when I chose this profession. I will take my licks.

How much alcohol should I purchase to take with me to Florida? I'm thoroughly in love with the idea of sitting on a porch overlooking the beach and drinking whiskey with my laptop in hand, writing poetry.
