Day 58/59

OK, I meant to blog last night. But I didn't forget.

My internet was down all night and I checked this morning and it was up.

Yesterday was a weird day. Exciting things and strange things.

I had my first onion rings yesterday. They were from Burger King. I've had Funyons before, but they're not the same because they're not baked. And they were really good. They even have onion in them which is even better.

But also, yesterday, I kept falling down or tripping and stumbling. I did when I got off a bus, I stumbled on the sidewalk, walking into a Caribou Coffee, and I fell down twice walking into the art gallery.

On the bus last night I saw it had started snowing. Finally. And this morning, I see it already on the ground and rooftops and I look out the window to see it blowing.

And I also found out out last night that my family was leaving and this morning at 6 or so. And that they were also coming back in two weeks. They live in Singapore, but they own a former house in Orlando so they often go back when they're in the United States.

Last night did get kind of rough. I purposely missed Glee so I can be with my guests knowing I can watch the episode on the internet or something. But that's not why it got rough. When I got home I saw my brother and sister-in-law came over and then he started grilling me about my own writing and skeptical about the fact that my first adapted film based off a short story that I wrote didn't have a beginning, middle, and end when I know it did and he said it was a dumb story without having heard what it's about.

Actually, I told him what it's about and he said it was a dumb story. This was a short story I came across recently from when I wrote when I was fifteen. And six months ago I decided to turn it into a short film. But I've been writing screenplays since after high school. With no fiction experience, my brother thinks I could write better. But I'm not going to listen to him. He's the type of guy that he's nice when you get to know him, but then he starts talking.

One more thing, the "58/59" in my title refers to 58 being yesterday and 59 being today. I've missed chances to blog on days so the number of days go up once after two days. For example, say a Wednesday is a day 36. And let's say I forget to blog on Thursday. But Friday I remember to blog and I would say it's Day 37 when it should really be 38. I'm guessing that had I written on every single day or still missed day but skipped a number, I'd probably be at 67 or something. I didn't count, but that's just what I'm guessing.

Tell you what. Today I'll count the days in a calendar starting from September 21st until December 1st (today) and tomorrow I'll say the correct day number when I blog tomorrow. So there won't be any 60-65's or so.

Come to think of it, the reason I start with a number that goes up once is because when I go to my dashboard and see a list of my blogs, I see the number of posts in this one and just say "Day (next number up)". Though there aren't as many days as their is posts. Originally, there was meant to be the same number of days as there would be posts. But I often forgot or at least wasn't able to. Meaning, I remembered, but my internet could have went down or I couldn't have gotten to a computer when I needed to.

So, for tomorrow, the new post will say Day 60-something.
