I had another dream about Acting Improv last night. Sigh. I don't remember what the game was, but I said something about the "flesh of innocents" or something and Nixon went "Hey! Mine!" and I said "No, no! I didn't mean... damn ( Read more... )

Turkey day take 2. Stupid. A bunch of relatives I've never met, and I'm spending the whole thing down here with one of the cousins I actually know watching October Sky. Good movie ( Read more... )

It's official. I give up. The beast has conquered me. My Inner Editor has come back and besieged my muse. We have surrendered.
