Headache

I just ate a grilled cheese sandwich and a salad. I had one beer to go with my meal and I totally fell asleep on the couch watching the Simpsons Movie. I woke up with a headache and my arm covered in drool. I just can't party like I used to.

Speaking of which, for Lent I'm not cursing. I did this last year, too, but it didn't stick. I'm hoping cleaning up my mouth this year takes on a little more of a permanent role in who I am and what I'm like. I've screwed up more so far in the past week than I did all last year put together, but my effort is for the long haul...I want to be a person who uses words to bless God, not to curse everything and then try to figure out how to pray with the same mouth.

On a not-so-related topic, my friend Anne and I are writing a children's book and building a diorama and characters out of clay for the illustrations. We'll photograph it and then write the text into the digital pictures. I'm a little obsessed with it, and seeing Coraline in 3D is only throwing fuel on the fire. Anyway, the book is about dinosaurs, and our working title is "The Dyn-O-Rama." It's pure genius, and because Anne is working on it with me, it probably won't even be creepy.
