Hello. Its raining. Don't like it. I feel like I'm gonna keep from being under the weather. Must run errands. More on that later.

Decided to give Caprica a chance via OnDemand since its free.

Congestion

I have yucky chest congestion.   I loathe the discomfort and the meds.  Not sure if this is a cold or allergy.   My temperature's on its own course.  I my temperature was a little high today.  Started sweating.   The congestion broke up some.   I feel that it will be better. 

Nyquil pills are a must since my congestion is intensifying.

In the mood for a burger again. Gonna wolf it down along with some fries!

Another cold day. I hurried to my ride and getting it warmed up now. Temperature gage barely moved. Gonna wait until it does. Should break out the thermals.

Four Stories Project II

Well I originally wussed out on the four stories project, by not completing a damn thing before bad.  I failed myself that was more than shameful.  I call myself a serious writer when I would not take the time to write twenty sentences.   If I did them on the computer, I would get them done quicker. I should have at least wrote one of them down on paper.   I was lazy.  I decided to play Zuma, Kingdom Hearts, and Meteos.  I had a good time with each.

I also listened to that voice in my head that told me the stories weren't "versatile enough."  I was wrong.  Like novelists don't write in the same genre, or screenwriters for that matter.  I was a fool to turn away from something that I love.  If a new concept warranted it, then it would find a way to the surface.

Free time presented itself today and I told myself that I was going to write at LEAST two paragraph for four concepts today.  I did just that.  Intially I felt I cheated with project 2 because I had a partial beat outline concieved from previous works.  I did manage to make up for that by writing a lot for story three.  Not that Story two was unclear to me at all.  I wanted to integrate the newer material/ideas.

I have a story five and six

Working out some ideas that I like. More on this later. Its so cold outside. Moving my car, which needs to warm up before I drive off.

I am most hungry. I should eat breakfast. It will give me the boost I need for the day, instead of my tummy growling.

Decided I wanted a burger for dinner in spite of having pasta at home. Gotta get me some more Epsom salt cause I need my muscles to relax.

Four Stories Project

I have a new project that will be fun tonight.   I will write out the first paragraph out to four stories.   They don't have to be correct, but I want at bare minimum five sentences written down about each plot.  Tomorrow I will add five more sentences, and so forth.  The goal is to have a specific vision of each story.  The concepts may not pan out, but instead of thinking of what could happen, I will have something concrete I can edit for the sake of clarity.     

I feel a little blah and tired. Today was a migraine coupled by ibuprofen, and a trip back to bed. Not my clearest day. Watched parts of Tin Man too.

Feet hurt but not crampy. Resting on my bed. Watching "Criminal Minds."

This Is Bananas

Well, not really.   Let me explain.   I went to the grocery store after work.  my feet were killing me.  I walked past the bananas saying to myself, "I should pick up some."  I walked away wanting to get off my feet.   I decided to buy the ingredients to make Chicken Alfredo.  I got home, started cooking.  Boy were my feet tired.

While sitting and waiting, the dreaded foot cramp shows up.  Needless to say it was mildly uncomfortable.  Since I was online, I updated my Facebook status.  A friend comments that potassium would help with the pain.   Namely bananas.  Of course I walked past them in the store even though I wanted some.

So I suffered though the pain and took a multi-vitamin which has potassium, BUT I'm told the banana's effectiveness would be much quicker. 

By the way, the Chicken Alfredo was great.  Used shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese along with heavy cream in the sauce.   Tastes delish.  

Its cold outside! Waiting for my car to warm up before driving off. Gotta let the engine get power and heat
"Dress You Up" is the song to start the day.

Thanks God I wore the "cozy shoes" today. Needed to let my feet relax a little. Been feeling like it made me more tense. The new shoes do look good though.

Gonna have a steak buddy! Ribeye is the bomb!

Dunno what's for dinner tonight. Last night was chicken, mashed taters, and coleslaw. Want something good.

Should make chicken alfredo this weekend. I am hoping to make the sauce creamer! Yeah! Good and rich cooking!

I don't know what to fix for dinner. Thought about Chinese food. Not sure about anything. Should do seafood. Mainly cause its simple.

Writing More

I need to write more for this blog.  Classes are over, we're on break, and I think I can spare five sentences a day.   Yeah, I can.

Well was inspired to write out a plot for a fairy tale/urban fantasy.  The thing I like is that I can write and it doesn't have to be perfect.  All it needs to be is on the page.  I need to get the gist of the idea onto the paper so that I have a rough idea what things look like.  Some ideas feel better than others, but I don't know until I commit to it!

I'm happy to take the time to go through the process.  I can tell you the story is a rough as having sandpaper for skin.  LOL  It needs to be that way.  I need to tighten it up, and get it aligned with my story structure tools.  it's a challenge,, and the stuff that I like to do!  

I am most hungry. Need to eat a meal like now. Left my pen at my desk. How am I to write something in my notebook? Too hungry to worry.

Been hungry for a full meal. Want to catch the second half of Alice tonight.

Today I misplaced my wallet. Spent a good deal of time trying to find it. Found it hanging in the pants I had on yesterday.

My Life

It’s been an interesting day.  Forgive me for not posting sooner.   It’s like I went through a dry patch of academics and working.  I am more than happy that I made it through the fall quarter.  I felt very overwhelmed with classes and work.   The all-nighters, I hope will never be repeated, UNLESS the writing IS my job.  For two days I felt like I didn’t know what was going to happen. 

The good news is that I passed my classes.  I got one an A and a B.   That’s not bad.  Taking this victory and walking away very happy.   I did want two A’s though.

Did I mention I have two quarters left of graduate school.   I'm nervous and excited.      

Encore has the nerve to play "Batman and Robin." SMH
