i cannot let facebook distract me from eating my frogs. somehow i slipped back from twice a day checking to every hour checking again. bad bad bad. today i must:
– upload wedding photos
– exercise
– write here
– search for jobs
– grocery shop
– pay bills
– see lily’s revenge
it’s about 67 degrees right now and SUNNY in san francisco. looks like i came back at just the right time. i cannot believe that tomorrow will be about 70! if only we had a car and could drive off to the beach to sunbathe! but i guess MGS is also a bit busy these days prepping for his shows.
we saw piece of work, a documentary about joan rivers. she is about 76 this year and does not rest a single day. she’ll hit up hole-in-the-wall comedy clubs at night just to keep performing. i admire the crap out of her work ethic and think that maybe it’s exactly that constant hustle that i would never get used to. as awful and insensitive as some of her jokes might be, i have a new respect for the boundaries she’s breaking and the commitment she has to her art (… err, or at least her lavish lifestyle which doesn’t come cheap).
it’s great to be back in the bay but i already miss my friends and family. my mom was doing much better — she’s very proud of her quick recovery and i’m glad to see her so energetic. i could still sense the strange tension between her and my aunt, but what can you do? we are humans with personalities and sometimes that just causes conflict. it’s crazy to see that that whole generation is now either single or widowed. very sad reality, isn’t it?
i’ve decided my next project will be a fairytale… or that i should somehow write mine in that style. let’s do it.
