Last night I went home after work, cooked and ate dinner, played bass for an hour and barely worked on my short story. Essentially I typed up all the little sections I have handwritten so I can start editing.
I feel a little guilty, that I should have done more. At the very least written the ending, which is already in my head, or gone to the Ministry/Hanzel und Gretyl show at the 9:30 club last night. But I was so damn tired last night; I even drifted off on the metro ride home from work. Something I almost never do. I guess I can blame it on working 7 days in a row, but ten years ago, hell even five years ago, I would have gone to the show, come home and wrote for an hour afterward. Now it's hard for me to do either one. Either I'm getting old or I need to make some adjustments in my life. Or maybe I just need some new vitamins.
Bleh.
Not sure which I feel worse about, missing the concert (both are good live bands) or not writing. But right now I just feel, well, Bleh.
Well, the sun is shining and hopefully after all the meetings I have to attend today in place of my sick boss I'll have time for a lunch break. A cup of coffee on a bench at Freedom Plaza with my writing pad in my lap sounds pretty good about now. But duty calls.

I felt the same way (well tired-way, not bleh-way). Okay, well, it was more because Piper led bellydancing last night, and her classes wear a person out. But boy do they feel good. Went home, called the 'rents, got in my pjs by 10pm, talked to my brother online, read a bit, and actually went to bed at a reasonable hour! Go figure. I think I must have given you my gloom though, since it all vanished after Sunday ended. My apologies.

I hear you. I was really sad to miss that show too. I really wanted to see Ministry, and Thrill Kill Kult, actually. Somehow I managed to never see them either band back in the day. I don't know if TKK would have done any old stuff (er... relatively speaking I guess), which is what I would have wanted to hear. A friend of mine might have gone to the show, I need to ask her how it was. However, when you work, Monday night shows are a killer.
But anyway, I had a bad case of yuck myself. I felt really sick again, and left work early yesterday, and therefore, was not even nearly capable of going to a show. Nor write. I haven't blogged for like, 2 days. Ah well... better luck some other time right. You should be happy you at least worked on your short story some! Good luck!!!
Welcome, designer geek.
Yeah, I was in a funk that day. Sorry to broadcast my doom-and-gloom to the world. Doing much better now that I've had some time off, done some writing and other odds and ends to get my mind off of work.
Lady: TKK is a fun band. I saw them maybe ten years ago, I think opening for Pig Face. A fun night. Hope you're feeling better now, too. A lot of germs flying around out there.
And Anon-L: Ok. I'll just blame you!
Wow, TKK and Pigface, that would have been great. I have a fairly vast collection of Pigface -- I call it "the Pigface phase" -- ha. Theres some good stuff though some of it was hit or miss....
I'm still recovering. Having problems with energy. I'm sure I'll be better for the weekend, for Halloween so I can be ragged out again!
