From Mad TV... Tommy Tune IS the Dark Knight! (The Batpole sequence alone is worth the price of admission.)
Got up late today -- around noon -- because for some reason I failed to take my Ritalin at 8 am. It's amazing what a difference that medication makes in terms of my being able to actually get out of bed. So I took it when I got up and now I'm dragging myself around waiting for it to fully kick in. Urgh.
Today I start on the advanced line reconstruction on MM. I'm nervous about it because I haven't done line recon at this level of sophistication before and I'm not sure how long it's going to take me. Add that worry to the sluggishness of no-Ritalin and the frustration of starting so late and it's going to be a rough first few hours.
At times like this I try very hard to remember how much I love my job, and how lucky I am to be working at a job that is so easy in terms of personal interaction (no co-workers or bosses or office politics), where I can set my own hours and exercise my creativity. However, those same positive factors are double-edged swords. It sometimes becomes very lonely and isolated. It takes a lot of discipline to work to the deadlines. And there are days when my creative engine is running on fumes and every line that comes out of my pen feels like it's being drawn in my own sweat and blood.
I'm running closer to the negatives than to the positives right now, but that may change as I get warmed up to the task.
