Happy Thursday

Proof was excellent. The more I think about it, the more I like it. I strongly recommend it as well as the pitchers of Mich Ultra we had at Little Woodrows afterward. Bo was upset because after Woodrows, we went to Mariana�s Bar and didn�t get home until one thirty or so. The bar is really called Helios . We hadn�t been there in a while because Mariana, who is a friend, pissed off Bo which pissed us off and so we hadn�t been back to Helios in a long, long time.
It was bad poetry night. I remember I read there last summer. They didn�t want to let me read because I had a short story instead of a poem. But the guy felt like he had to be �nice� to me and he let me read and I did well. People were coming up to me later saying, �Great stuff.� I don�t know if they were talking about me (wink) or my writing. I�ve never been up there since, I�m not a poet nor am I trying to be one.
I have three new writing projects to work on. I�m pretty excited about all of them. I also have that story that I started during Christmas Break to finish up. I wanted to finish it before Christmas to give to my brother since it is about him, but he was in Oakland, CA and there was no way I could mail it and it be there on time, so I quit. But I will finish it. I can always give it to him for his birthday this May.
This morning, I woke up at six a.m. and the first thing I thought about was �where the hell is my cell phone?� I had called Dan the Man last night while I was at the bar and told him I would call him when I got home. Well, I got home and called him, but he didn�t answer so I left his a drunken message telling him that I�d talk to him today and that I love him and then I hooked up my phone to its charger and went to sleep. But when I woke up, I didn�t remember any of this and so I was looking for my phone and found it connected to the said charger. Then it beeped really loud because I had voicemail. Of course, it was Dan the Man telling me he was away from his phone. How could I sleep through a ringing phone? Especially my ringer, it�s annoying as hell.
Well, I should get his loaded and stuff. I have tons of work to do today. I have to OCR scan an entire novel we�re reprinting. Happy Thursday.
One last thing, I thought this was a neat thing the writer of proof, David Auburn, said:
The purpose of literature is to show how we speak to ourselves, and to explain ourselves to ourselves.
