moonsoon rain

it is hot today. but wet. earlier, the rain was of the tropical kind that i missed the sound of drops on yero.

slept before 9 pm yesterday and woke up at 5 am. wrote in the bathroom and basically let the words drip onto the page. except that the page is ms word on a mac. chapter 8 is done and is the second longest chapter after chapter 2.

stats as of today:

• 235 pages
• 50, 762 words

melatonin dreams continue and all sorts of weirdness are fucking up my sleep but i cannot afford to wake up at 3 am. no matter how productive it is, the adrenaline crash is what fucks up the entire day.

4 pages worth of notes

all for act 2, no matter how many the chapters would go.

another page, the fifth is devoted to a single character as i vacillate over the one thing that would make him either good or bad.

i still don’t know.

chapter 8 stands at 25 pages and 5,000+ words long and i still have to incorporate 2 scenes to close it.

maybe it will happen today. or the weekend.

chapter 9 is already in my head but i still want to keep it a bay.

last night, i finally managed to eat at japadog, that vancouver export.

combo number 1 is the classic which i ordered.

the meal comes with drinks and fries, of which there are a lot of choices.

the salt and pepper were superb although i am tempted to try the curry next time.

maybe over the weekend.

films for the weekend

 

the american one stars ezra miller of “after school”, and IMHO is set to be the next joseph gordon levitt if he isn’t careful of his career choices.

the spanish one is directed by f. javier gutierrez, rumored to direct the latest incarnation of “the crow”.
