Autumn in Nomp Ton

It's officially beginning to be fall, with scarce daylight after 7pm and the minute chill in the air that makes every breath in the 80 degree heat adopt a crispness unknown to the humidity of Oklahoma summer. I've been in several, successive shitty moods lately.

I take that back, it's most been melancholy. To me, a "shitty" mood conveys more agitation than lugubrity.

Anyhow. I think I may be shifting toward that "next" step of whatever it is I'm doing. Maybe it's still rooted in the breakup, but I don't know. At any rate, it seems kind of silly to still be on the rebound. I posted some double-doubles and now it's time to move on. Not sure exactly how yet, though music has been a good source of solace. So has poetry, which I've been writing more of lately (and reading, too -- though that's mostly for class). I hope to be eating and drinking less in the coming days. And getting up more often.

Spending the whole day in bed is like digging laterally in a hole: it doesn't really get you out, it just makes the hole bigger and wastes your time.

I did some stand-up comedy last week at Othello's and I will be doing some more this week. I'm writing bits at a pretty good clip and most of them are funny... I think. I might also start work on this idea for a screenplay I had back in winter 2007. Who knows? I might even wind up with another girlfriend (could be a bad idea). Just. Keep. Moving.

Roast Beef has always been my favorite character, but I'm reminding myself too much of him lately.
