Like Sands Through the Hourglass...
Aug. 9th, 2004 12:55 pmThe days just keep fallin' down.
Supposedly we might be able to get Lasik eye surgery in San Diego when we go back for demobilization in October. Of course, the rumor is that there's an 18 month waiting list for active duty types, and I have no idea how they'd be able to squeeze us in, but hey... I'll sign up. Worst they can do is say 'no.'
I finished reading A Hat Full of Sky early early this morning, and it was excellent. Delightful story that, as usual for Pratchett, left me feeling all warm and fuzzy. The experience was not at all diminished for my not having read The Wee Free Men. I've also watched Unbreakable again, as well as The Sum of All Fears. Unbreakable was better the second time around, I think. I didn't notice the slow pace so much, and I got to focus on the characters. Kinda cool. Except... wobbly camera work. Kinda weirded me out.
[Edit: Finishing up cuz I got kicked off and posted it just to save it.]
You people come out of the woodwork to comment sometimes, I tell you what.
I've suddenly got a very diffuse feeling with the whole writing thing. Projects I want to finish, new ones I want to start, old ones that I want to tear apart and make really really better. I need to focus, I know that, and I will... but sometimes this isn't the place for maintaining intense focus. Ah well. If I can keep at it here, I can keep it up anywhere, right? Right?
Two months and I'll very definitely be in California. That's a nice feeling.
My littlest brother turns 18 in six days. Holy poop. Then he goes off to MSU. [EXPLETIVE DELETED] Man... At least he'll actually be closer, along with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iuliamentis and ... sorry B, I can never remember how to spell your handle. tappu and I will come to visit, for sure. :)
And it's almost time to call the wife, speaking of whom.
