Hiking on Mt. Rainier last weekend...

next

The advantage to writing a treatment is so that you can focus on where you want your project to go. After working on my treatment, I think my project will have to go away.

So I'm moving on the next project. Details to follow

tv dreams

I've been watching way too much TV the last two weeks because characters keep popping into my dreams. Last week I was sharing an ice cream with Admiral Adama and last night I was eating lunch at Kirbey Lane Cafe (the original location) with Jack Harkness. Nothing happens in these dreams, we just hang out. And I think Gwen Cooper showed up for a bit.

But to balance things out...I have been reading a book on the Mayflower and dreamed I was on a boat with people from the 17thc.

bits and pieces

- A word of advice: when you're giving someone a present and you think it would be fun to add some confetti inside the box to explode when they open it, think again. It seems like a great and festive idea at the time. But it's not to the person opening the present.

- I'm attempting a sprint triathlon in mid-September. At least I'm seriously thinking about it.

- It's hot. I'm hot.

- Life seems a little off kilter. Things are jutting off in new and unexpected (and some expected) ways. It's not what I planned but perhaps in the end it will get back on track. I just don't have any answers at the moment.

back in business

Thursday night I took 2 Advil, drank a beer and massaged this homeopathic ointment into my right hand. Friday morning I woke up and it was healed. This was something I'd been trying to take care of for two weeks with no luck and now one night of advil and beer and it's all gone. Go figure. I'm thrilled because I can get back to work and finally head out to the lake for some much-needed kayaking.

This week I'm writing up a treatment and editing some footage so that I can start applying for grants and such. I've helped others do this but never for my own project. It's hard to get some perspective.

this is the sound of one hand typing

Still getting settled in Seattle. I bought a new desk, chair and lamp. All very colorful. I was all ready to get back to work but I now have an inflamed tendon in my right hand. It makes typing and editing very difficult. Hopefully I'll be back in business next week - will just type with one hand in the mean time.
