Loose Ends...
Aug. 12th, 2004 08:47 pmWell, got my first two paychecks this week - just need to deposit them. Picked up the second one this afternoon, had to leave work a little early to do it, but ate lunch at desk, and may stay a little later tomorrow to make up for it. That's one month's rent taken care of at least. Was going to do laundry tonight but wimped out. Laundry requires lugging the bag and cart down three flights of steps, three blocks, to the laundramat, plus two hours sitting there waiting for it to get done, then folding the clothes. Didn't have the energy.
Work is...paying my rent at the moment. And providing me with an opportunity to learn and hone skills in Lotus Notes and Excel. Also I apparently haven't forgotten Contract law, still can analyze a contract quickly and efficiently regardless of what it is for. This is a good thing, I suppose. Not sure where this will take me, except that it's incredibly ironic since my least favorite courses in law school were Contracts.
In other news, attempting to get myself to write creatively again, but self-conscious. I'm wondering if this conversational writing style I've adopted for online writing has hurt me somewhat? Also maybe I'm reading/scanning one too many writer's blogs? While I've learned a lot, they can be a tad intimidating. One starts wondering if one has the chops.
Lately, I've been struggling to remember what I know on POV writing. I normally just write what comes naturally, which is third person close - and I don't think too much about it. Now I'm wondering if I should?
Have a couple of ideas, just struggling with fleshing them out.
One is a sci-fi fantasy. One real world. Probably should stick with the real world one, but the fantasy one actually has stuff written on it. And it's easier to work on a work in progress, than something entirely new. Decisions. Decisions.
Riskiest TV show is hands down Nip/Tuck. IF you saw it this week you know why. The show actually did something that I haven't seen many other TV shows attempt. An edgy no-holds-barred adult show, Nip/Tuck continues to push the envelope.
( Nip/Tuck Spoilers )
The other show that surprised me was The 4400
which remained smartly ambiguous until the very end.
( Vague Spoilers for The 4400 )
Last of the group is Rescue Me which is not as good as the first two. Dennis Leary is wonderful.

Okay bed calls. Must mosey off.
