Days of Wine and Random Shit
Nov. 22nd, 2011 11:13 am- 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.
