I'm trying really hard to work today, but either I can only tap into the good stuff after 4pm (my most productive times this week have been 4pm-7pm and 8pm-1am, but I figured that was a jet lag issue), or I'm having an off day. We'll see. The day is still young and all.
Spent most of this late morning/early afternoon listening to Bruce Springsteen and Josh Ritter. So even though it hasn't been a productive day, per say, it definitely hasn't been a bad day.
Work's going alright, all things considered. Writing feels kind of like doing magic or something: it's not necessarily difficult in intellectual terms, but it's really physically exhausting.
Want to know what my favorite thing has been in the last few days? I mean, aside from getting a surprising amount of work done. Yeah, I finally saw the X-Files episode on which this Gravity Falls is based. Why aren't more people swooning about this on the internet? Seriously, the GF episode is a perfect parody (or homage). Writer friends: you will probably get a kick out of all the Moby-Dick references in the X-Files episode. A few are really subtle. Mmmm, X-Files.

Big Reveal for those of you who haven't been on the receiving end of my love-yelling about how good Gravity Falls is (I know I have, in fact, yelled at everyone, but in case you haven't listened): my two favorite shows are actually pretty much the same show. I am a predictable creature with particular loves. Speaking of GF, I think it comes back on in the next week or two! Stateside friends: watch it so that it doesn't get cancelled. It's genius.
