Alright, something a little different now. I decided the other day that I have time enough right now to be doing this thing at least twice a week. So, I sat down and worked out a schedule, daily shit to do each day and then a weekly regimen to organize what I’m writing each day. With that, I’ll post here Tuesday and Thursday each week which means I’ll be writing specifically to that end each Monday and Wednesday. Now, I just need to actually get up off my ass each morning and actually start my day before noon. I am kind of torn to that point. I’m so used to starting my day at midnight after so many years of that schedule at my actual job that I just recently left. Truth be told, I have always preferred that kind of schedule, and I don’t really have anything going on that would require my changing my schedule to being “awake” during the day. Maybe I’ll spend this next week scheduling my rhythm specifically back to what it used to be and see how productive I can be with writing instead of stocking shelves. In any case, if I’m ever late with a post going forward, please, e-mail me and burn me to the ground for being ten minutes late to throwing up one five hundred word post. It’s the only way I’ll learn.
Also, feel free to e-mail me for whatever else. I’ve got time and not as many topics to write about on here. Otherwise, I’ll just keep writing about whatever old TV shows I happen to be watching that day. Ooh ooh ooh, I just found out this past Sunday that The Drew Carey Show is available to watch on PlutoTV! It’s on demand! If you’re not familiar, The Drew Carey Show is arguably the single greatest sitcom. At the very least, it has always among my top three favorite anythings. It played with a lot of the common sitcom tropes and routines but did so often in ways that were not usually done in other sitcoms. Like having a bad neighbor who’s pet comes over into Drew’s yard but that pet happens to be a four foot long monitor lizard. And then…they raised the bar with revolutionary and fourth wall breaking episodes. One such example is their Emmy-pandering episode where they purposefully exaggerated aspects of their characters and storytelling with the full throated attempt to win Emmys. Oswald became a kleptomaniac, Drew was struggling with illiteracy, Kate was in a coma and dying, and Lewis was pretty much the same except that he kept taking a spotlight and talking to camera about how he’s lashing out at everyone and exploring his own experience to work through why he’s being such a jackass. They concocted so many ground-breaking concepts and techniques for sitcom storytelling. It was truly a revolutionary series.
Ok, this one a much easier to write quickly. I almost want to post it early but no! I will wait until Tuesday because that’s how the system works! Making the plan, then execute the plan. So that’s what I’m going to do. Until next time.
