Progress Report #1
Welly well well. Let's see. I woke up at around 5:30 this morning (I guess I was so excited that I was like a kid on Christmas or something), so I'm already a little sleepy. That's okay though, because really, sleep is overrated. It was quite a morning -- I had a feeling that my modem was going to be bitchy, and it was (!!!) so I had to spend some time plugging and unplugging things and praying, and I also couldn't find my red hooded sweatshirt, and I can't do no 24 hours of writing without my beloved red hooded sweatshirt, because, well, I love that shirt so much it is like a piece of me -- but all has been resolved and I am ready to go!
Anyway, I wouldn't be able to get through this experience if it weren't for music, and the music on my iPod is really a mishmash of all different kinds of stuff; I don't arrange my playlists in any sort of cohesive order (which is kind of odd, because I'm so anal about making mix CDs), and therefore, I end up listening to stuff like "Bukowski" (Modest Mouse) right after "Lean Back" (Terror Squad), all the time, and it can be a little jarring, but the unpredictability is what makes it entertaining. Jay-Z and Radiohead and Billie Holiday and Interpol all together like one big happy family -- this, my friend, is diversity.
Amen and pass the coffee.
