I haven't started East of Eden yet, but I did play Animal Crossing for six hours and write two pages of Flack/Stanhope. I'm hoping to hit the 1400 word mark tonight, but with the season finale of Numb3rs on the horizon, I have my doubts as to whether I'll manage it. I love ficcing, but lately, I've been seized with a terrible lassitude. I want the words and the story they tell to be, but I don't want to set my fingers to the spindle and my feet to the treadle. I'll get over it. I always do.
Roomie wants to take me to see Poseidon this weekend since I said I wanted to see it. I loved The Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, and Shelley Winters. I've always remembered Hackman screaming at God to take him if He wanted another life. It teetered on the cusp of melodrama without tumbling into it, and though it may sound blasphemous, I understand his rage at God in that moment, because for a being of Divine love and absolute omniscience, He's allowed an awful lot of misery and rank injustice in His name. If God is as gentle as the New Testament says, then He needs to roll out of Heaven in his pimped-out Godmobile and smack Him a Fred Phelps bitch.
And lastly, a poll about reading, writing, and me:
[Poll #727862]
