I am thinking of renaming this blog. Disjointed is a front runner at the moment. I suspect that is all a post of its own for another time. For the time being some stuff:
Things went a lot better than I had expected, while it is not nice to be right, it is nice to have people agree with you, especially when you were not expecting them to. I hope it is all over, it would seem to be for the time being.
I went for a drink with Dave after work so we could get out of the office and talk about some things and it was a lot of fun. We talked about the stuff we had to talk about and then just talked about stuff for a while. There was quite a strange moment when my phone rang and it was Dave’s wife looking for him. Not the first person I’d expect a call from I will admit. Kinda surreal for a moment, I have no idea how she got my number and yes I did of course go with the “It was just that one night line”. I had to.
I’m annoyed with myself and probably more so disappointed. Last night when I was writing the post about Cut My Hair, I was really trying to write about it. I must have spent fifteen minutes staring at the screen and thinking about what I could say after “coming of age tale” and as you can tell I didn’t do very well. I was talking to a friend about it earlier today and I’m not entirely sure if it was a nudge on her part or just a question she asked me why it worked so well. Of course then I was able to talk to her about it and note that it flowed really well and that the only time it threatened to get boring actually worked really well in context and so on. I’m going to have to try harder.
I am however very glad to know that someone does actually see an improvement in my writing style and an effort, I do believe there has been, but you know it is nice to have someone else mention it. Lots more work still to be done but at least a solid start has built up.
Now I have to go watch some new West Wing.
