No köffee brewing yet. Let's see, I'll turn on Bertha (heh), pour in 6 köffee cans of köffee, a half a can of dirt (for authenticity), a hint of absinthe (for flavor), a handful of medicinal gummi bears (for mental fortitude), and fill up the remaining space inside Bertha with water.
THREE DAY WEEKEND!!! We have no huge plans, but there will be grilling of meats and veggies, a trip to the arcade, maybe a triple-A baseball game. Plus fun like cleaning out the garage, working on the lawn, grocery shopping. I will almost certainly get some writing in, as soon as I figure out this whole boating plot.
As for today, I hope that annoying chick who sent me 16 emails is satisfied with my work and will leave me alone.
Köffee is ready, so I will grab my mug (yum!) and be on my way. Good day everyone.
I thought I already won this thread like two years ago.
OMG there are so many!!! The one where Kramer has the Merv Griffin set in his apartment. The Contest, of course. And Terri Hatcher and the alleged implants: "They're real, and they're spectacular!"
I frikkin love that show. I even wrote a Shard where the guy is watching Seinfeld.
Unapologetic and unafraid and unwilling to put up with bullshit.
I have four gears.
First gear is my everyday dress, jeans and a tee shirt (the dreaded cargo pants come out in the summer). Up a gear is a button down shirt with jeans and nice shoes, my own personal favorite look, and one I feel I pull off well. Third gear is to change the jeans into nicer pants, maybe add a sportscoat, another look I am pretty comfortable in. Fourth gear is the full scale suit, in which I feel I am a little out of my element, but LJ helps with that with a little grooming and lots of "You look so handsome"'s (there is no way I punctuated that correctly).
Milik and Simmie, glad to have you back! Have a drink on me!
Looks like you could use a beer too Jim.
Hey Scott, hey Bill. I was reading stories here and figured I'd pop in for a quick one.
I figure my early boasting is what made the Mets choke and go on that long losing streak, so I'll say nothing of tonight's game.
Three fingers of Old Crow please.
I find I don't get ideas to write unless I'm writing. So if I don't write, I don't have anything to write.
With kids and my Dad around, I have learned to write in short spurts (heh), or with chaos swirling around me. I can write with one ear on the outside world. Otherwise I'd get nothing writtten.
So, I try to write when I can, usually after work and before supper. I will also write at night. And I can usually get a multi-hour chunk of time during the weekend. Generally at my desk, but I've often written in the car, in waiting rooms, in the bathtub on an iPad.
I also write A LOT of notes to myself on the phone, on a little reminder app. That's proobably my biggest motivator - putting new story notes into the story. That's what keeps a piece of my mind on the story all day.
