Jackie Brown on Christmas Eve [Tuesday 24]

Got up at 8, started working at 9, cleaned up the house, cleaned up the room, threw the trash out did the work out, made the posts, forced myself to get shit in order. Had PB sandwich for lunch and made an elaborate roasted potatoes with eggs thing for dinner. Meant to go out for Christmas eve chill, ended up not doing that because watched Jackie Brown in the evening, with roommate AL.

And that's my day. No observations, no nothing. Read the Nanowrimo book that's reminding me to not be afraid of failure and mediocrity but embrace them, rather even go after them so a good inspiration as always, and I'm getting more and more encouragement from it to do a writing-month (50k words in 30 days) which I might do once I'm back from the holidays, but that's about it. The movie Jackie Brown is great, the dinner I had was great, I was feeling a little unsure and indecisive about next year's living situation, but that's for next year nothing for me to worry about right now.

I realize my posts have been getting shorter in the holidays but that's what you get when you don't have anywhere to go except the restroom kitchen and the living room and do nothing but watch tv eat and type. Life needs to be interesting to actually write about, things need to happen, when they don't nothing worth writing about in your journals. This is important to note though because some nothing days are different than others and it's important to identify a good nothing day from a bad one so the bad ones can be easily transformed into good ones.

Finally, and this had nothing to do with the daily journaling just random observations here and there, I've been feeling the need to make my life more involved and busy. This was a realization sometime last week when my days were getting empty but I've read about busy people getting disproportionately large number of things done because what's one more thing to a guy already doing like a hundred things anyway, but to someone who doesn't have much to do even one single task seems real big. Need to remember that...to keep myself busy on holidays and free days somehow, maybe by planning them so I can stay sharp and on my feet. Literally and figuratively.
