...and the Livings Easy

OK, so it's been a month. I realize that. I get that. I understand that anyone who actually was reading this has now given up all hope. Oh well. Perhaps reading my blog is to other people what reading J.R.R. Tolkien is to me. Difficult as well as a trial of faith. "It gets better right? It gets less long-winded?" I can't tell you. I've never finished Tolkien.

So I suppose in the way of updates I am home again for the summer. Right now I am sitting around in my gym shorts and undershirt waiting for it to be time to get ready for church (Oh yes there is a specific time. It's 12:13). What has possessed me to update this. I haven't the foggiest.

I have spent the last week watching movies and reading comic books. All in all a rather productive use of my time. I have also done some wedding planning with Meg. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that hours can be spent on planning and all that is decided is what material we want the tablecloths to be made out of. Is there a point where it picks up the pace? I don't understand why anybody ever wants to do this more than once.

Mostly, I've been waiting for Menards to call me back and say I can start working. I need money. Money for rent, money for the wedding , money for being married. I also need to write. I haven't written so much as one fluent and interesting sentence since I got home (and this blog post is certainly no exception to that). Before I left for home I did edit some of my flashes. I think one or two more revisions and I will start sending them out. See where that gets me. It'd be nice if I had maybe one publication under my belt before the summer ended (0r at the very least a very kind and personal rejection letter as opposed to the very dry form letter the broken plate sent me a year ago. They neglected to send me anything this year).

I guess I wasn't completely honest when I said all I've done is lounge around. I went to the driving range with some friends on Wednesday. Thursday we played ultimate frisbee. Friday we went real golfing. I haven't been in two years. It showed. I might have to go some more this summer. I show potential, but it won't do me much if I just let it lie. I'll go with my dad though. Golf is an expensive hobby.

I'll see if I can't get in the habit of updating this more often. It seemed important to me to have it at the time I made it.
