What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a-going on here?
Hello Friends and welcome back to Disclaim and Deny where there are no rules and the points don't count.
I don't have a particular theme or subject today, but I can report I have a couple drafts in the works - the Joys of the Bar Exam, how depression works, and some new photog groups (which will probably end up on Flickr, haven't sorted that yet.)
So just a few updates:
Parents visited. Short of comments about my current weight and a rape joke from my Dad (and yes he knows), it went fairly well. On the therapy session scale of one to four sessions, I give it a session and a half.
Had an unexpected visit from The Greek Boy of Falls Church and met his beautiful lady. That was a treat.
Friend of mine reports he's lost 30 pounds. Go You! Your heart, and probably your liver, thank you.
Back to writing a little on the screenplay. I started it as a creativity-as-therapy exercise, and some of the scenes were still too tender to my heart to write. But I think I'm ready now.
Toying with taking a pottery class. I've done some slab work in the past but never worked the wheel (or 'thrown pots' or whatever it is called.)
Had the best weekend over Labor Day than I've had in a very long time. Both stimulating and relaxing, spent with excellent friends. Also picked up these new shoes:
wellies that look like frogs!
The Emerald City continues to be graced with nary a drop of rain in almost six weeks.
I'm also pretty darn happy these days, and I hope I take full advantage of my positive mood. I've been eating better, drinking less. Finally dug up my swimming gear and plan to get in some exercise. I don't know if this happy phase is a result of my depression in retrograde and a rising manic cycle, but whatevs. I'll take it.
Work-wise, I have a few ideas on making some things happen while continuing to troll job sites. Passing (or not passing) the Bar will of course play a huge role in what I am capable of doing here in Washington State.
Tune in October 12th, noon PST for those results.
Hey I can always move back to DC. My SCB boss openly admits his Policy left hand does not know what the Lobbying right hand is doing without my assistance.
And I can move in with my friend Chippy, her fiance, and their two cats! Three people and four cats in a two-bedroom. I'm sure fiance will not mind in the least.
More when there is more to report.
