It is 62 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now. Before I went to work, I saw the sun. After work, I put all the windows down and opened the sun roof. This is, like, the best day ever.
There's something about 60 degree weather at night that rejuvenates my soul. Perhaps it is the Florida blood. Maybe it's something else. But right now, I could go for just about anything.
Specifically, sitting on the back porch of a house on a patio that I helped build and decorate with some nice icicle lights and Japanese lanterns. With a small fire. And something warm to drink. And someone to enjoy it with.
I hope the future comes soon.

Update.
The 500 words a day has been going alright.... I let myself off yesterday, but I think I still only managed 800ish this week so far. Shame on me.
I started a trial subscription to Gamefly.... That's been my undoing. But I have been able to play some games I couldn't afford this year. Mass Effect is pretty much amazing. Bioshock is also, but I probably won't play as much of it...
Also, this is not a feeble attempt to boost word count. I already did that here, with my review-thus-far of Bioshock. I need to get that blog up and moving faster if I'm going to have a chance of getting an article published. (Bwa ha ha!)

New disciplines.
As is my custom for school breaks, I have made a small list of things I want to accomplish with my break. There are books I want to read, relationships I want to cultivate, games I want to play, etc...
This break, I have decided to write 500 words a day, 6 days a week. It can be anything: a blog post (heh heh...), a journal entry, a screenplay, a radio drama, a poem (I count poems as the full 500, though. They're hard.), etc... The point is to make a habit out of writing.
It has been about as hard as I expected. Naturally, I have only written maybe 1000 words so far. The other night, I actually let myself get by with the excuse that I didn't have anything to write, that I was dry.
That's sort of the point of a discipline, isn't it? That you do it even when you don't want to or feel like you can't?
I hope it doesn't degrade to me updating this blog over and over again in a desperate attempt to boost my word count.
