writing is hard

is it sad that i want to take a writing class? well, maybe. but maybe not. i mean, it's been almost 9 years since i wrote anything. turns out i miss being able to easily compose an intelligent essay. so i'm working on this grant - i use the word "working" very loosely. i spend most of my time reading through it & reading other materials about it & then procrastinating... :) that's me. eternal procrastinator. especially when it's something i'm excited about. it's

so i wrote that several days ago... it's now friday. thought i'd get around to finishing it but that didn't happen. been working too many long days - cuz o this damn grant. it's kicking my ass. i finally started writing something. or, reorganizing all the info from previous grants & updating stuff & trying to put together a logical, concise essay. the one written last year is so damn rambly & awful. not sure if it's going ok at this point. but i'm DOING something & that's a step in the right direction.

looks like i'm gonna have a lot of comp time racked up by the time this is done. was thinking maybe we could skip town for a bit but D's schedule is pretty busy for a while yet w/ set & lights for the next show. lame.

i just got back from a nice walk w/ E & L (my old boss & his wife - & their kid, but he fell asleep, so it was almost like he wasn't really there). it's damn cold outside but i have to say, i really enjoy walking, even in the cold. i've worn 2 pairs of long johns every day this week, along w/ my regular pants (otherwise i probably would've been sent home for improper dress).

dan's buggin me to finish this & hang out w/ him. more later.
