Days of Wine and Random Shit


  • 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.
