Solid Weekend
After working a 65 work week I blew off some steam with a night of drinks, Beatles rockband and a midnight stumble to Pizzaria Uno for their late night snack menu. It was a lot of fun and its been a while since I woke up the next morning on someones couch. I had plans to hang out with Amanda but she was sick and needed to rest.
Saturday I did a little writing but was still feeling out of it because of the previous night and as a result wasn't productive. I just stayed home and relaxed glad to have had some alone time feeling good about being lazy. At 4 I went to the hobby store and practiced EPIC, a new trading card game from a game developer who is a friend of mine. At 6 was the EPIC Grand tournamnet with first place prize receiving an invitation to Worlds tournament in Philly. To make a long story short I won the tournament, 60 bucks in store credit and an invitation to worlds where I could win thousands of dollars. I miss competitive gaming, for a while I was on fire. If I didn't work nights I could play more but alast I am stuck playing sparingly. I just need to mark this under reasons to get a another job :P
Which reminds me I need to get My resume together for the Sept 21st job fair.
Sunday was relaxing. I wrote a piece for writing group that was well received but not perfect. I received good feedback about the ending and what people disliked about it. I do enjoy writing the short shorts and I believe it will be my medium of choice. Since it is so short every word is so important and the economical aspect of it is very attractive to the reader since it isn't a huge time commitment. We live in an age of excessive media and we have many things competing for our time. More than ever it is very hard to focus because we have so many options for entertainment. As a writer I have a hard time just focusing on a task for too long, I start getting bored. Maybe at some point I'll want to write a novel but right now the shorts are expressive enough.
Thanks for reading!
