I'm broke and tired and still need to ask Barnes & Noble how they forgot my email and assigned my paid account to someone else.

I need a nap.

Busy day so far. Started with Starbucks, (flat white with Splenda if you ever want to buy me one), then lunch at a rainy Knotts where I picked up my free annual pass holder Christmas ornament; paid some bills, sent a book (Badass Affirmations) to a fabulous woman, and renewed my Broad Universe.

Why did the CEO say the economy is not improving? I wonder what's in it for him to lie?

I watched MURDERS OF THE FLOWER MOON last night. I kept yelling at DiCaprio's character.

He portrayed a particular kind of unintelligent unthinking person. Amazing work. I left not believing he was in it for the money; just wanted to do what he was told. And no interior.

I went to a talk by DAVID GRANN, where he talked about his shipwreck book THE WAGER, sold copies of MURDERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (and others), and he signed my copy of his articles, THE DEVIL AND.SHERLOCK HOLMES.

I'm workshopping with Ad Astra today. And tomorrow. I'll miss my Krazy Kirk but develop this novel idea they gave me.

There's a wheel lift tow truck going through the Starbucks drive thru.

I mean, it's great that the driver will be caffeinated and alert.

I've also seen a stretch limo go through a Jack in the Box drive thru. That was interesting.

It is so foggy here this morning. Supposed to be hot later but for now the low sky is so very horror movie.
Also my cats are assholes. Why do I love them?

I banged my drum at the full moon last night. I am not great at drum banging but the moon was super at being full!

The ART is great. The storyline? It's a story. I'd like to know the rest/reason, so it is a hook.

Two little girls playing hand jive:

Give me an X, give me an O
Jim got hit by a UFO
Dropped off in New Mexico

Then they started one about curly fries and apples pies at McDonalds and thus passed into obscurity.

Oh and btw the solution to "not everyone has the time to dedicate to art, you classist" is not "AUTOMATE ALL THE THINGS AND DON'T PAY ARTISTS" it's "VALUE ALL LABOR SO THAT PEOPLE ARE PAID FAIRLY AND CAN LIVE AND MAKE ART IF THEY WANT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE"

Cassidy Hutchinson is a hero. I mean, yeah, she just did what was right, but against pressure and threats from people.shr liked and trusted. Maybe that's the quicksand all those 50's movies warned us about.

WGA has a deal. UNION STRONG, people! In an era of oligarchs workers need to stand together.

Lovely sunshiney day. I'm still in my jammies. There is more coffee to drink before I face the day.

Which includes doing laundry, washing the car, and getting a haircut. Whee.
