As the title suggests, this will be a shotgun post scattered all over the place. Look out.

Sleeper's block.
In the hospital I wrote a sitcom treatment in my mind when I couldn't sleep. The other night I wrote a short horror story. Last night I walked through the Pantheon in Rome. I've been there 3 times so I could visualize it all very clearly. Then I redesigned it in my mind to be even 'more' than the interior of the Sistine Chapel.

Church.
Christmas was on Sunday, so what does one do in the morning but go to church? Well, after all the presents and such. I don't remember much of what was said but the hymn "Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful" was the one that just really touched me.

Ick
The post surgery antibiotic I have to take for 3 months (more like 2) makes my pee brown, coats my tongue and everything taste horrible. I hate it. I need to be maintaining weight, not losing it. But everything just tastes horrible and is unsatisfying for the most part. I am 132lbs currently.

Nightmares.
I was jolted awake the other night by what I thought was a noise of someone in the house and me yelling "Hello!" while reaching for the gun under the bed. False alarm. Then last night I had a dream where I was living in these people's home and the host dad was a horrible man. He had smuggled in a girl to use for prostitution and was pressuring me to pay for her. When I said no we got in a fight and she jabbed me in the calf with a syringe of heroin and injected it into me. The nightmare ended with me getting as much as I could into my truck to leave and the Rage Against the Machine song Bomb Track pounding in my head as I then prepared to burn their house down, with them in in. Horrible.

Art.
The movie "The Artist" is very good. You have to adapt to the pacing of it, but for 'true cinema' it is a great movie. And more than one person has told me I look just like Tintin so I think I will be dressing like him as much as I can when I go see that movie later in the week.

Vanity.
My latest vanity project is going to be self publishing each year of my blog as a book. I was looking through the google image file of all my blog photos and I just really felt a need to have all I've written in it on paper. In a quality book format. So I'm going to. As soon as I can find someone who wants to make money converting each entry of my blog into a single pdf file and then saving them in order chronologically. Including pictures. And making each year its own complete folder. 2008-2011. Then when that is done I can send it off the the publisher I have chosen and I will get my books! MY books.
