I think it feels a little bit like the appropriate time for a summer to-do list. Partly because it's now the summer, partly because I've got nothing else to be doing, and partly because I need to picture what I
will be doing to get me through this dull night. I've forgotten how to be this dull.
1. Watch 48 of the top 100 films of IMDb:
Which is actually closer to 47.5, since I've got
American Beauty jamming in the background.
2. Read three books:
Which is actually closer to 2.5, because I'm midway through one now.
3. Write something lengthy:
Like a short story or whatever. But on a related note...
4. Write at least 3 letters:
Like, legitimate, real letters. At least one is headed to France.
5. Watch Community:
I've got, like, this huge thing with Donald Glover.
I've forgotten how to be this dull. I've probably been over-stimulating my brain recently. Lots of activity and business. If nothing else, it keeps my brain flowing steady. Seems about time for a quote, and since I'm watching this film...
"It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about."
This movie is shaping up. So is my night. Or week. So what's something you can do that you forgot about? Give it another run. You've got the time for it. Don't lie to yourself.

Don't lie to yourself. All it is is a waste of time. Because you can't move forward when you're doing that. Do you know what I mean? Just stuck in a little bit of a hiatus. Ever have that? Everything freezes for a time.
I'm out of steam.
