Day 13: Dun dun dun

Well I'm writing my blog as I sit here this morning eating my breakfast at work. Yep, Lazy. But it helps break in my day a bit. Went to bed a bit apprehensive last night. Meg watched the movie "Lovely Bones" which is a murder thriller/ghost movie and not gonna lie, merely being in the same room as that movie weirded me out. I don't do well with movies where people suffer cause, well, its just uncomfortable. Freaks me out. Gives me nightmares (though I can't recall what my were last night). But all in all the movie looked good, but the story left you feeling depressed and a little scared to walk around without a baseball bat, or, if you have seen the movie, a little scared TO walk around with a baseball bat.

Any who. Yesterday was a pleasant Sunday. Woke up, went to the gym and ran 3 miles. Well I SAY ran, but it was more like run 1, walk some run about 1, walk some, trot the rest. But I PROGRESSED over a 3 mile distance. And by Progressed I mean used a treadmill. But according to some magical readout I burned some good calories so no worries there.

Personal goals wise I rolled back in after the gym and worked on my script a bit. Didn't make much headway but cleaned up what I already had a bit, tightening it. And also (though this happened later in the night) I got an email about a film competition where you basically make a short amusing video promoting something about the environment and efforts towards that. I have a couple ideas bouncing around in my head, and I think I will put a lot of effort into this before the due date at the end of next month. There is also prize money so I feel like it would both be a good challenge and a motivational one.

Other than that the day was spent largely on the couch relaxing and lamenting about not being productive, but not that much cause I was enjoying myself, and was followed up by going to the in laws house for dinner where we discussed my goals at some length and my father in law gave me some very interesting work materials. He had at some point gone to various productivity and time management/goal seminars and lent me some of the materials from there to help me in structuring my goals, which I am excited about, seeing as, and especially if you have read my previous blogs, I suffer from good time structure. And by suffer I mean I have none. So hopefully some of that will help me break down my life into manageable chunks.

Well, would love to stay and chat, but I need to work. *HUGE SIGH* But money is money and life is life and rarely do they overlap, but that, in fact, is the entire goal of this blog.

Out!

  1. Film Contest. I am willing to help out, any way I can. Let me know dates and when you want to shoot. We can discuss ideas too, if you want another person to bounce ideas off of.

    Let me know.
