Days of Wine and Random Shit

[gridlore]

• My neighbor is shouting into his phone again.


• Inside his apartment.


• I wouldn't complain, but I can't hear the power metal I'm listening to right now.


• Yes, he's that loud.


• Accomplished quite a bit in the last two days.


• Yesterday I got my delayed blood draw done, and did some dishes.


• Today, I took in all the recycling from home and Earthbaby and picked up a book on Napoleon III at the library.


• I was going to get my haircut, but my Nice Asian Ladies are closed Tuesdays.


• Napoleon III? Think of using his life as the basis for a novel/series.


• He's a very interesting guy, and the reason Germany and Italy were able to become nations.


• I've figured out why things like NaNoWrMo don't work for me.


• It's the whole "write now! meet an arbitrary schedule!" aspect.


• I actually felt guilty when I got pneumonia at the start of the month because I couldn't write.


• That's seriously fucked up.


• If I ever get to the point when I'm writing seriously, then I can see enforcing a schedule for writing.


• But I'm still at the "doing it for my personal enjoyment stage."


• I have discovered iTunes radio.


• Some of the metal stations are quite good.


• Watched Captain America: The First Avenger last night.


• Good, but not great. I never saw the charisma that Cap possesses. He's supposed to be a natural leader.


• Also the love story really felt tacked on.


• Hugo Weaving, as the Red Skull, was as awesome as ever.


• But the film was filled with a ton of great in-jokes.


• My favorite was the Red Skull gloating that he had found true power while Hitler was "digging in the desert for trinkets."


• Also, did y'all notice the original Human Torch in the glass tube in the fair scene?


• I may have over=pushed myself in the last couple of days; so I'm taking the rest of the day to crash.
