new glasses, old questions
Feb 22 10Just got a pair of new glasses. Is that relevant? No. But you've come to this site so maybe you care about that sort of thing. When a person gets new glasses. It's a big decision.
February is almost over. A new year doesn't just saunter in and try to engage you in foreplay. It runs you over. Like a train that's leaving whether you're on or not and most of us are overweight and slow from the winter and holidays and it's hard to jump on the damn thing. March is when I usually wake up and say: "What the hell is going on?" Birthdays are good for that.
So in anticipation of March, I'm asking myself that question. What the hell is going on? Well, pretty much the same shit. I've been recording an album for over a year now. The longest I've ever spent on one. Too long. But once it's finished I'll feel like I've accomplished something. Hopefully somebody will put the damn thing out so people can hear it. So many albums never get heard. It's sad. At least I have a few people that give a crap (that's you). I'm lucky.
Still immersed in writing fiction. Submitted a decent short story to a few contests. Waiting to hear. I don't expect much. I do, however, expect a lot from my new novel. The second one. I'm shelving the first in favor of the newer one. It's better, much better. So far people are responding.
These new glasses give me a headache but doc says that's too be expected. Takes some getting used to. Doesn't everything? Take some getting used to? When do I get used to the feeling that I'm running on a goddamn treadmill? When does the scenery change? I thought I was on a train. Maybe I need to go back to the store, change this prescription.
