Trying something new today. Something a little different.

This time around, I’ve been coming to the coffee shop close to 8 in the morning even though I’m usually up around six-ish. It wasn’t until yesterday that I realized that the shop actually opens around 7 in the morning and I’m here a quarter past 7 this morning.

I’ll probably stick to my schedule of going back home close to 9 to do some work. I’ll be finishing up the project today. Just some minor clean up to help users out and direct them to the new SharePoint site.

It’ll be an interesting Tuesday when we get back when people can’t figure out how to get to their site and do their work. It’ll be interesting indeed.

In the theme of wanting to switch up the routine and breaking out my usual, I’m not listening to my usual music anymore. I’m switching it up!

Instead of the usual Chinese playlist or some pop channel, I’m picking random stations that fit my mood or something that sounds interesting to help me write.

The channel this morning?

Creative Boost.

It’s chill music, but not sure why it’s considered Creative though.

I thought about picking white noise and work on that, but I don’t know. I’m taking this breaking out of my routine and comfort zone a step at a time dammit.

White noise would be the far extreme.

People swear by it, maybe when I get serious about writing again I’ll switch to that.

Who knows?

So what is it today? What is there to write about today?

Random random?

Most likely it’ll be random random.

I don’t have many thoughts anymore.

Brain is too fried to do anything critical. I’m more excited about it being the first real day of break for me. I’ll do some cleanup after I get home and in the afternoon, I should be free to catch up on my shows and movies.

I get to sit in front of the couch and veg out.

Looking forward to being a potato.

Going back to something I wrote yesterday, the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies.

On a whim, I googled How to write a Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie and found a few interesting articles.

Some fan wrote down some of the main plot points of some of these movies: http://shellymazzanoble.com/?p=1013

So fascinating.

I also stumbled upon Hallmark Channel’s Write for us page where they detailed their submission guidelines. I forwarded it to Scott to peruse.

He may get a kick out of it.

I sure did.

So fascinating that there’s an audience out there for this stuff. Well, there’s an audience for anything out there. Anything.

Anything.

Hmmmm…Here’s another wrinkle in the Fireplace Gang mystery.

I have now dubbed the group of people that usually sit around the fireplace, the Fireplace Gang. This is the group with the older gentleman and his macbook, which I thought was a writer’s group but I made an assumption yesterday that it was a bible study.

The older gentleman isn’t here today, but the younger guy with the bible is. Hmm, maybe I was wrong and he just happened to sit next to the older gentleman because it was close to the fire.

Maybe.

The mystery continues.

Hmmmm….not sure about this Creative Boost. Not sure how this is helping my creative juices.

It’s sure different from my usual sound. When the music distracts one’s attention when they are trying to be focus and be creative, it’s not the right music.

Switching the channel.

HA! Coffee Break!

Bland chill acoustic music.

Right up my alley.

So right up my alley.

It’s raining today. Real rain. Steady rain.

It’ll be raining all day.

I sit, staring out the windows as I watch the cars zoom by. Everyone is off on their daily grind, getting the early start on the light traffic. It’ll be the last day of work for most 9-5ers until the New Year.

I wonder how productive will they be?

Not very productive is my guess.

I just looked up at the TV and a new one starts.

Two flight attendants are getting on a plane to start their holiday workday at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Sea-Tac.

Home!

This piques my interest even more. I have to look up this movie.

What is it?

Christmas Connection

Flight attendant Sydney is tasked with looking after Leah, an unaccompanied minor. After Leah is safely delivered to her father, Jonathan, Sydney finds a package Leah left behind and delivers it to Leah. She missed her connection, and Jonathan invites her to spend the holidays with them. Stars Brooke Burns, Tom Everett Scott.

Fascinating!

Hahhaha, I don’t understand where this fascination with these movies come.

The randomness of the universe.

So random.

So fascinating.

I’m sure my attention won’t be on this little thing much longer, as I type, I’ll be looking up at the tv.

They just had like a five-minute scene of the two leads sitting at a table in the airport just talking. Where’s the fucking child? Oh, she’s decorating the damn tree.

What the fuck?

What the holy fuck?

Hahhaa. Interesting.

Fascinating.

I need to get out of there before I watch the whole damn thing.

So, did she spend like fucking days and weeks at this stranger’s house?

What the holy fuck is happening here?

I guess I should stop asking questions and just not pay attention or go with it.

Not paying attention and not being able to listen to the dialogue adds to the confusion.

Fuck it.

I’m done.
