random musings

I had an anxiety-free day finally, and I slept well last night. I hope that means the meds, supplements, and exercise are kicking in.

I read the India section of Eat Pray Love in one sitting yesterday; now it's on to Indonesia, and then I'll probably go back and read the whole thing again because it was so good.

Stephen Fry has a new blog entry about addiction that is hilarious. He's in the US now filming a documentary about visiting all 50 states. Keep an eye out for his London cab.

My latest homework assignment is to write a master scene list for my screenplay. Now we're getting into the heavy writing. Yay! Since I'm screenwriting through next month, I've decided not to NaNo this year, though I shall miss it. I do intend to listen to WriMo radio to see what Neil Gaiman advises about writing.

And speaking of Neil Gaiman, the audiobook version of Neverwhere is being released tomorrow, just in time for my next audible.com download.

I made the egg, tomato, spinach thingy for dinner tonight. It's sort of a cross between a souffle and a quiche. It wasn't half bad. Two fixes: whip the egg whites more, add soy cheese.

There's a neat documentary out there called WordPlay, which I saw recently. It's about the New York Times crossword puzzle. There are people that can do it in under five minutes. I attempt the Sunday Washington Post Magazine crossword every week, but I'm no great shakes at it.

I'm in the mood for some Deborah Kerr movies. Her creepy ones - The Innocents and Black Narcissus - are just as good as her comedies - An Affair to Remember, Dream Wife, The Grass is Greener, Casino Royale.

The building I work in is across the street from Merriweather Post Pavilion. While I was taking a sun break this afternoon, I got to listen to the Shins rehearse "Phantom Limb." They sounded great.

Right. Back to master scene list.
