Well, that was a quiet weekend! I was supposed to go to the sauna with Brenda on Sunday, but we had to cancel on that. So instead I went to the hairdresser and got my hair dyed.
I’m a redhead again! 
I keep grinning like an idiot every time I glance a glimpse of myself in the mirror. It feels so much more like me to be red-haired. The blond is okay too, by the way, and I liked the white streaks in my hair as well, but the brown hair that I’ve been sporting for the past month or so was boring me to tears. This is SO much better.
In other news, Brenda and I have vowed to each other we would write again, starting this week. We would write 1K a day, or else at least 7K a week. And so we wrote. The both of us have been doing some plotting and did some blessed writing. As of tonight, I wrote 7100 words this week, and I’m extremely pleased with the fact that I’ve had some output. It still doesn’t come easily, but if I just find the right story to tell, I’m sure I’ll get better at it again. I just need to find a story that wants to be told. ‘Dead In The Water’ apparently is not that story, but that’s okay. I’ll just keep searching.
And in the meantime, the Fortress is as good a place as any to write in. That world feels like home, even though writing stories in it is getting increasingly complex with the increasing complexity of the world. Brenda and I are doing a lot of retconning, but even that’s okay. We’re having fun doing it, and that’s the most important thing: getting the fun back in writing.
In other other news, Olli and I watched the whole ‘The Fast & the Furious’ movie series in one week. We stumbled over ‘Fast Five’ the other day, and we enjoyed the movie, so we thought we’d check out the rest. One is enjoyable, two is okay, and then ‘Tokyo Drift’ is utter shite (it didn’t even have anyone from the main cast), four was kinda fun (it had Vin Diesel again!) and five was pretty good once again. Not so much plot-wise, that’s just nonsensical action. But visuals and cool things-wise it was petty good.
But then again, I’m easy to please – I could listen to Vin Diesel reading out a dictionary and I’d still be entertained. He has such a lovely voice.
So time for change – time to lose at least 5 kg before we go to Finland on vacation (six weeks from now). I’ve now lost 2kg in two weeks, which is something I’m very pleased with. (Three more kg to go before I’m satisfied) Of course Olli’s lost much more, but that’s the unfairness of males versus females for you
