It's Labor Day, and bloody hot, like 100 degrees here in California. I went to the bookstore, two of them, and they were filled with people hogging the chairs. It was disgusting, there were two girls together, and they wouldn't share a table. Each had to hog their own, and then they go off to get food or something and leave just a book on one of the tables. I was going to throw all their stuff onto one table, but ... let them have it if it's that important.
Then there was an older couple at a long table .... and for some reason, I dont' like them, so I came home. I guess that's for the best.

Miss Potter
I saw this movie today off Netflix that I really liked, Miss Potter. It was about the life of Beatrix Potter, and boy, was she fascinating. It's so interesting how they really didn't want her to print these children's books, and how in a lot of ways, she was a sort of feminist. The movie was well done, a bit mediocre in some ways, probably due to the fact that it followed her life. It's hard to be true to someone and hit the three act formula. Then again, I really loved it so it must have been good, I mean, I want to buy the darn thing.
back at the coffeehouse
I'm at the coffeehouse, ready to work on my book. I'm thinking of starting to come here in the mornings again, mostly because I am not getting much work done at home. I am thinking that I need to clean up my apartment or feng shui the place, or something.
I've starting working on the week-end again, and it's going better than before. It's weird, because doing massage, is something you actually get better at, the more you do it. But I look at other people, who make tons of money, and I wonder. I guess the bottom line is, I would like to write, and I wish I could figure out a way to do that more, rather than invest my time in things that don't hold as much interest to me.
I need to really concentrate on the book. I'm tired of sort of going through my life and not doing the things I want to do, because of money.
I was looking at Leona Helmsley, or whatever her name is, and all I could think was ... what a horrid human being to give all her money to a dog and none to her family, with all those billions of dollars. And I'll bet they didn't even want it from her. The pig.
Anywhoo, it's strange, because I was thinking of picking up another shift at the spa, and ... maybe it is a good idea. I mean, if I was just working at the spa, I could ... I don't know, write more. And I'm not getting enough writing done.

Monday morning blah
It's Monday morning, and I'm at the coffeehouse. I'm really tired from working yesterday. Will I be perpetually tired if I start working at the spa full time?
I did a shift of four, but I will be doing five from now on. And for some reason, I am exhausted by the idea of working on the book. Which is not a good thing. Working on the weekends shouldn't take away from my novel. But I did make a lot of money at the spa.
Probably the way I eat is a factor. I eat too much garbage. After the spa, I went and had a huge, disgusting hamburger.
A girl at the spa once told me that the problem with doing massage was that it uses up the same creative energy as writing does. And it's kind of true. But I think another problem for me is that ... if I feel overwhelmed, I can't do something. And when I take away that week-end of working, I feel like I don't have enough time to write.
But then again, I am not writing now so ... I don't know.

i got an iphone
I got an Iphone. I'm ... well, like anything, you want something, and then when you get it, it's just another material possesion. However, it is really nice. I think it's like, the single greatest product I've ever seen. It does everything flawlessly. E-mail, internet, everything. I love it all.

dark rivers
I'm at the coffeehouse on Saturday morning. I'm going to the spa to work tomorrow. I'm actually excited about that again, mostly because I want to put myself into a position where I will feel more secure about leaving my job.
I was SOOOOO tired when I woke up this morning, I had a terrible night's sleep. Nothing too guide related, though.
I'm thinking of going to get the Iphone, but something tells me I shouldn't. Probably because I am going to snap and quit my job, and I won't need the extra 20 dollar a month bill. It's so stupid, how I spend money I don't have.
I have a great book I'm dying to read, and ... it's called "The Dark River." But I'm actually showing the strength of character to work on my book instead.
