No, but seriously, I had every intention of writing tonight.
Honestly.
That's too many adverbs. I was going to write tonight.
Only I bought groceries, talked to Pops on the phone, emailed Joy, did the dishes, made soup and ate it while watching Veronica Mars, dumped more music onto the iPod, rearranged playlists, messaged Michael, read Barbelith for a while, which had an entire thread devoted to writing in haiku, overdosed on commas, did more dishes, and here I am, quarter to Midnight.
I was going to write.
But I didn't, and I'm sorry, and the Fear's tapping its foot outside my door but only in that "neighbourly" way like waking up because one's neighbour is up at five in the morning to head out as usual with his or her phone ringing off the hook.
So I'm going to get into bed and listen to music softly and write a couple sentences. Maybe a paragraph. Or two. Might stretch myself with three, big spender, you know.
Going to coffee shop it after work tomorrow afternoon and get some serious words constructed in something not unlike an english language sentence, or even multiples thereof. Might try the Moka House that just opened up in China Town. Well, maybe not, seeing as how my last couple Moka House experiences have been utter shit, I might just end up at my old stand-by Blenz with a hot chocolate and a clear view of people spitting on Douglas Street while the buses drive by. Couple seagulls fighting over shitty McDonalds remains. Good times, good times.

No, weirdly, it's right next to the big Chinese market and Don Mee's. Right in the middle of China Town.
I like Bean Around in theory but it's usually too crowded for me to even consider.
And I haven't been to Solstice in -eons-.

I guy I know was held up with a used syringe while working at that Blenz... I tend to avoid it. There's a new one called Habit that opened up next to Mole. My friend raves.

They needed me to work late, so I didn't end up doing any writing yesterday. I had a few poems in my head, though.
Manager at Blenz looked haggard this morning.
I'll check out Habit sometime soon, I think. I think I saw it on the bus heading to work, it looked quiet.
