Weekend Update

It seems like Sundays are going to be my posting days at least for the next little while. The rest of the days just don't seem to be long enough to get everything done that I need to do. It was a weird, fucked up week. It started out bad. TNI and I went out for brunch last Sunday and then planned to go see "Underworld," but I got hit with a killer migraine that blindsided me out of fucking nowhere. It was my third in a week, which is not good. I haven't had one in months and suddenly three in a week? The aliens must have reactivated the chip they put in my brain and it's short circuiting or something... This one was really bad too. I couldn't see out of my right eye and the pain was so blinding I found myself curled up in a little ball on the floor and crying almost hysterically. So TNI made me some soup and I took a Percoset and I passed out for a few hours. I woke up to find myself mind-melding with my dog. Roland was curled up next to me, with his paw on my arm, snoring away and I really thought I was channeling his dream. Something about running through the woods chasing something. That was when I knew the drugs had kicked in. It was a weird night to say the least... And things didn't really normalize from there. Work was crazy busy. All sorts of shit happened with the various scripts I'm working on. Some good. Some bad. Most I don't want to get into right now. I'm having lunch with S-boy this week to talk about his involvement on 2 of the projects, so hopefully that will go well... I talked to HWMNBN several times, things are getting interesting there, professionally and personally. Not sure how I feel about that so I'm just not thinking about it right now. I feel like we've been down this road before. Hopefully our final destination will be different this time around though. He's outta town for the next month or so but once he gets back we're going to sit down and talk about where we go from here, so we'll see what happen there. Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. The whole field seems to be in play at this point... Between my day job and my writing gigs the stress got a little outta control the past few weeks. I was looking forward to a nice restful weekend of doing virtually nothing. In a literal sense, that was what I got. I haven't really done anything, but I definitely would not call things "restful." I got way too emotionally wrapped up in Friday night's episode of "Battlestar Galactica." There were parts of it that just hit way too close to home. I know it's just a fucking TV show, but it really upset me. Then there was some household drama that came to a head on Friday night and it definitely added to my stress level. As we all know, I'm something of a control freak and I hate things that I can't fix. I don't like feeling powerless. That was sorta the situation. So I just locked myself inside my own head and read some comic books and and napped and tried to pretend that everything was peachy. It wasn't, but fuck it. I couldn't really do anything to fix it. I finally just kinda freaked out and had to get the hell out of my apartment so I coerced TNI into going out to dinner. Turned out to be the right thing to do. We ate too much and drank too much and just had a good time. We came home and continued to consume mind-altering substances and it just turned into a really silly kinda night. It's amazing how much funnier some of the comedians on Comedy Central are when you're really fucked up... Today we had planned to go to the beach and check out this photography exhibit that's going on down at the Santa Monica pier, but after last night's festivities we just didn't get up in time to go. It's definitely on the agenda for next weekend though. I don't care if we're having a damn typhoon, I'm going to the beach... Ok, so that's it for now. I'm going to go give my dog a bath. Everyone have a beautiful week. Try and stay out of trouble and I'll check back in next Sunday. Same bat time. Same bat channel...
