For a couple of hours on a beautiful day

mood: hmm
music: santana - smooth
The state of the Maya address, yeah. Haven't had one of these for a while, but here's a rundown of my life these days...in a nutshell.

I've received nearly all of my medical bills now. A little stressful at first...but yeah. Only one more I'm waiting on, if memory serves. Here's hoping I can pay them all off! Haha

Life's weird as always, the topic of moving is in the air of course, who knows what's going on there, but the possibilities I've mentioned in the past are still what we're looking at. As for when... July, August, or not until next year... WHO KNOWS! Not me! I love how even as time goes by I still know as much as I did a year ago. But that's life. I'm not stressing about it. Just would be nice to have some kinda clue, y'know?

A theater is finally opening in town soon. I'm dying to see a movie again. I MISS MOVIE-GOING. Here's hoping I do that. Yep.

I haven't had coffee in ages. Chocolate milk replacement therapy, mmm yeah. I'm entering the "only mildy paranoid about dying from trying a little" phase over the whole caffeine thing. Maybe I'll give it a try again soon. Chocolate milk is pretty delicious though, so no complaints really.

Also been having strawberry, banana and yogurt smoothies. SO delicious. I just remembered one day how I used to drink those a lot years ago, so I wanted to try it again. It's my current favorite thing aside from chocolate milk, oh yeah. Eating some fried zucchini and Caesar dressing, too, mmm... oh and now, toast with Caesar dressing to dip it in, YUM.

Been walking every day and doing my stretching. The plus and downside to this: My body hurts and is being rickety while it's adjusting to rebuilding. Really, the pain, ooo yeah. No pain no gain is one of my mottos for a reason, though, so par for the course.

All in all, I feel very good about myself right now because I've not had any caffeine or alcohol in ages, and I'm exercising more. Drinking lots of water and juices and such. So I'm keeping hydrated on top of everything else.

Yep. The state of the Maya address is a positive one for the now. Only problem is my sleep is all effed up. However, considering I've been creative, productive, and working on my wussiness/paranoia/cowardly tendencies, I don't think the sleep thing is that huge of a deal right now.

Oh yeah, about the coward/wuss/paranoid thing... I had a realization after talking things over about this. I was listening to a song, went to SM to comment on it, and as I was putting down my thoughts on it, I looked back over what I'd posted and realized it really got to the heart of one of my issues: A lot of times people who hold things back seem to think they're saving themselves heartache, but what we often don't realize is that by holding things back, we're often causing ourselves heartache in the long run.

That's so true. So often I'd rather just shut my mouth and say nothing rather than risk, what I fear, would just be another case of my mouth opening and a whole lot of stupid flying out. I psych myself out of things a lot. There are a lot of times where I have something I want to say or do, but I just give up before I even try because of the possible ways it could go wrong. How stupid? I'm the one who always says SEIZE THE DAY and LIFE IS SHORT and all that stuff... yet, so often I just freeze up and do nothing because I'm, well, scared. Yep.

So, starting last week, I began making changes, doing and saying more things even when my doubts are crowding around, and so far, nothing's blown up in my face. In fact, quite the opposite. So, if any of you readers out there in TV land have issues with psyching yourself out of things because you're scared, well, do yourself(and others) a favor, and take a risk.

I'm not saying I'm 100% cured, haha, but I've been saying this is my year, so I may as well take a chance and risk... crashing into something.

Ooo 4 pics this time.

I really need to take a class on lettering, haha. WOW. Or just handwriting in general.

- - - - -

I finally looked up the name of the author of the story that The Interstellar Radio Company did an audio play of in February. The story was apparently Ghost V by Robert Sheckley. I need ALL OF HIS SHORT STORY COLLECTIONS! I'd enjoy reading his other books too though, but yeah...right up my alley. I've been dying to read Ghost V(short story) ever since seeing it that night, because I am itching to draw the characters, and I'm foggy on details of the two, so definitely need to read it to refresh my memory.

One of his last stories, Reborn Again
(which is linked on that official page up there as well)

Feel like writing again, myself, but there's a demon I'll wrestle another day. More drawings to finish and novel pages to read...

To the soft evening air

I love GIMP! One of the pics I've been working on for a few days.

I also love the fact I can spend time on something without worrying my computer is going to die in the middle of it anymore. Inspired by a pic someone drew on Tegaki E. :)

Bad trips can make great stories

Early birthday present time again...

I got an unexpected package in the mail today! Inside was a copy of The Weepies album "Hideaway" along with a second copy of the booklet from the album(which has been signed by Deb Talen and Steve Tannen). It's a pretty sweet album. Thanks Yai.

Also, Cody sent me his whole finished novel deal so I'll be starting on reading that. Should be fun! I've been looking forward to reading this finished product since he first began writing it years ago.
