the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.07.30

Two things have become clear to me, of late. First, I'm spending too many evenings just at home watching movies. It was one thing to do so to save money while I was paying down my student debt, but this has gotten out of hand. I've watched 70 movies and it's only seven months into the year. I used to be a creative person, what happened to the writing?

Second, the new job is starting to get in the way a bit. While that's good for the first problem, it represents a problem of its own: I needed to re-home this thing because I can't stay where I am, and I don't have time. So I'm going off-line for a while.

Maybe I'll add a third thing: a lot of these movies are a waste of time.
