Looking forward to Friday, seeing as I have it off. It's not like it'll be a relaxing day, but it will be a getting-shit-done day -- oil change, haircut, grocery shopping, bank run.
Good to see that I still have a little writing skill left. I'm still a little worried, though, 'cause this one was still mostly about negative things, though it's at least negativity that turns to hope, in a screw-you sort of way. What I really want to write about isn't the past but the present and future, and all of that is much more optimistic in tone. I'm still a little worried that I won't be able to write about the happy state of my life now, that somehow, the words won't come out if they're not about misery.
I'm contemplating NaNoWriMo. On one hand, I think I improved quite a bit from '03 to '04, and I'd like to try again and see if I can build on my fiction-writing skills a bit more. But on the other hand, I just don't have the time like I used to -- I used to be able to devote 2-3 hours every single night to forcing out the words, but now, with the more demanding job and the acquisition of an actual social life, I don't have that kind of free time (and I certainly don't want to give up any of the things I spend my time doing now).
And "The Suffering" by Coheed and Cambria has been stuck in my head all day, and I don't know why. Meh. :-P
