Not only did we embarrass Marky Mark, we let down the Funky Bunch.

I passed the Three Week Challenge of writing everyday, actually I finished it last Tuesday, but I kept going. I'm still not writing for very long, but the everyday part is there and it feel good and easy, almost. I mean, its only 20 minutes! Though tonight I was going to do a two hour session in the evening, push myself to start having longer periods to work on longer session, while DYA did her work for a trial tomorrow, but then she said, 'let's do a 4400 marathon instead', and who can argue with that? So she's getting up at 5 am to do her work and I'm thinking, how is this Monday, how is this week going to look for me? Weighing the options, trying to think about what I want to do. And in that moments I decided, I think I will start giving myself Sundays off. Six days a week of writing, one day off. But then I climbed into bed and opened up the laptop and I wrote anyway. Only 15 minutes, not quite a page, but still. So what do I know? Not much apparently. Now I'm writing here too, and it started with a comment in someone else's journal, that was maybe more interesting than anything I can write here at this late hour, but who cares. I'll give the good stuff away, I'm not scared.

On Saturday night, I went to Random House Epic and I saw installations and performance and videos and you know what? It was really, really good. I was kind of astounded at how much I enjoyed myself. I go to a lot of random shows and performances and events, to support my friends and sate my curiosity, and frankly, I consider it a success if 1/3 of the material is enjoyable and the other 2/3 don't insult me in some manner. So to go to an entire event and actually enjoy myself during all of it was pretty astounding. Also, a fire pit is nice. At least until some drunk guy sits in front of you and blocks all the heat while trying to obnoxiously hit on someone. But then I finally ate a tamale, and that helped a little.

I am reading this book that drinkasyoupour recommended to me about 'dark emotions' and its good stuff, but with some unintended hilarious side effects where I find myself counseling television characters. So when the wife with a secret dark past decided to trade in her hidden rage for a vengeance plan, I'm yelling at the screen like, no, you'll never authentically heal!

Everyone needs to read this book. I'm only on page 50 and I've had revelations!!

Uh oh, two more good bits you wasted by giving them away for free: the tamale line and "No, you'll never authentically heal!!"

Perhaps you can slip them into a novel somewhere and no one will be the wiser.
