A new year, and time for a new blog. They come far more infrequently don’t they? Oh well, I see no reason to write fluff if I can avoid it. I’d rather write less, that might be worth reading, than more that’s just junk. Well, I have a number of realizations, discoveries, and changes I thought I’d share with my still faithful readers.

First, and my close friends are more than sick of hearing about it but I don’t care, I have met a truly amazing girl. The time we’ve spent together the past few weeks (she’s currently out of town till classes kick back in) has done a number on how happy I’ve been lately. Will it go somewhere? One can never tell, but I know we’ve both fallen pretty hard for each other, and I could be pretty happy living the rest of my life this way. And it is a total reinforcement of that idea that you just never know who, when, or where you can meet. So I’m going with it, and loving it.

Second, and I know this is stupid, but have you heard of those shows WifeSwap and Nanny 911? Well, I had Fox on this weekend on a rare TV watching momeny and saw them. It was sort of like a train wreck. Well, tonight I was bored, and I put on…ABC I think it was, and there were an IDENTICAL pair of shows. I’m just amazed at the lack of creativity from the media. I know I shouldn’t be surprised by this, and who knows who copied whom, but really guys, can’t you try just a little?

Third. What was third? Crap…I knew I should have noted all this stuff ahead of time…Umm…Oh, duh. I think I’m going to get a tattoo this weekend. Depending on the cost, maybe two. And no, for those of you that know, it’s not the one on my back, this will be a good build up to that, because yeah, that one is gonna hurt. No, I’m going to get a Buddhist mantra on each wrist (high enough to be covered by a long sleeve shirt of course). I am definitely going to get the om mani padme hum mantra on one wrist, and another one on the other. I’m not sure which though. When I thought of it last night, it was just like a “duh, that’s obvious,” moment.

Fourth, I finally cleared some new writing. I finished the second draft of Walking, and a first draft of Freefall. And I’m feeling inspired to start something a little more ambitious. Both scripts are up at my repository at http://pc.celtx.com/profile/thequicksilver. You’re welcome to leave me comments on them, but in particular, Freefall is still very much in first draft phase, and I know that.

Well, I guess that’s all I have to report from my little world right now. I hope everyone’s year gets off to a good start.
