mood: 
excited
music: Jonathan Edwards - "Sunshine"
seriously, it's a good thing. even better when it's followed by the white stripes' dead leaves and the dirty ground.' also on my Good Things list are my brand new black, 100% man-made steve madden boots and actual high speed internet at work - hello, streaming radio! :-)
true confession time - i kind of fell off the writing wagon this weekend (yes, i'm aware it's only 5 days into the challenge). BUT i've been plotting in my head and i'm setting aside an hour tonight to play catch up, so i'm not going to dwell on it.
the OBS is that i finished "no country for old men" and i mentioned my challenge to my dad on the phone saturday morning and he went out and bought the book that afternoon. so i guess we're doing a mini book club, which is kind of cool - we typically read very different things, so i don't think i've ever been able to discuss a book with my dad. we don't have much in common, so i'm kind of excited about the prospect of a great conversation with him, to be honest. and great timing, my boss told me they adapted it into a movie, which comes out this month!
ETA: it's a coen brothers movie! with javier bardem, no less! so excited. trailer is here, if you're interested.

you make me want black boots now lol!
you'll get back on the writing, I am sure you can! dwelling on it doesn't give anything, anyway. I find it awesome that there is the prospect of a good discussion with your dad :) sees you two are connecting more now, that is great. and maybe you could go see the movie too!
*hugs*

Ah, you remind me I need to listen to The White Stripes today.
A good pair of boots will make all the difference in the world!

But I did get total validation that Sling Blade was just like a Cormac McCarthy book, one by the above.;.Billy, don't try to say that Sling wasn't like it and then direct a movie of one of his books and two Sean Penn said the exact same thing.
My love of Cormac McCarthy knows no bounds..well, it does because he's my SECOND favorite all time author.

My favorite author, you'd think it would be Homer because the Odyssey is my favorite all time book/poem.
But it's actually John Steinbeck

But I will give up the fact that Steinbeck sometimes wastes a lot of time of characters that don't really need to be in the story, but still East of Eden is my second favorite all time book.
