I was informed today that I did not get the job I had successfully interviewed for on Friday. The other candidate was selected, so it's back to just me and the novel. And I'm okay with that. Me and the novel have a lot to discuss. Such as "how can I make you more awesome?" And "how can we cuddle up to stay warm this winter?"
I just made two hefty pizzas. I had dough issues (too much moisture + too much white flour). The second one had more charred pepperoni than the first. I like charred pepperoni. Gristly pig is damn nice.
Am working on a script for a short film called "cockblocking bride." I hope that Bob will choose to collaborate on it with me. It's based on a defensive statement I rendered a few weeks after my wedding, disputing charges that I was a cockblocking bride. So in my movie, a bride will commit several cockblocks, with commentary from the cockblockees.
Today at the coffeehouse, while I was working on the novel, a random dude with a noticeable penchant for controlled substances came up to me out of nowhere and told me that I needed to ditch my PC laptop and get a Mac, because PCs suck and he went to engineering school so he knows. I told him that I was busy, that my husband is a computer god and only touches PCs and as part of the agreement in our marriage I am to own a PC. And then he went off on how PCs suck if you're a filmmaker, and he's a filmmaker and you can't do decent editing on a PC, and he kept running his mouth, his eyeballs looked sweaty, and I bet he was trying to assuage an unwarranted erection while jonesing for meth. A lot was going on in this man's translucent skin, and he was inconveniencing me. He soon found another warm body to shout at and I was left to my writing.
In related news, now that the season has turned, I have been ordering hot drinks, but they never stay hot for long. Should I revert to iced beverages or just slam the hot drinks while they are still hot?
