What we are doing when we do the things we're doing

Hey there, Imaginary Audience.  It's been a few weeks, so I thought I'd say that I'm settled in Denton, I have made a bunch of suspiciously fantastic friends, and in many ways my life is the best it's ever been.

I don't have much else to say.  I go out with my friends and drink beers or listen to live music or both, we cook dinner for each other or I cook dinner for myself, I watch movies and read, I play guitar, I write.  On weekends, I open the blinds and watch league soccer at the park across from my apartment, a modern Latino spin on Norman Rockwell.  People sit in lawn chairs and yell encouragement, kids run from and towards each other in their way, sitcky-mouthed from snow-cones and screeching.  I own and use two typewriters.  I can't go to sleep without music or the tv on, but that will pass with time.  I fall in love with someone about twice a week, but I'm starting to think that's a common problem with writers, that they have a dangerous excess of love that they give away to near strangers or turn inward on thier private little worlds.  Anyway it feels good.

And that's it.  I'm sorry I don't have anything depressing or insightful to say.  I know that's why you came.  But then again, I'm not sorry.  I'm not sorry at all.
