My damn head hurts, all because of the evil couch in the family room. If I lie down on it for more than two hours, it gives me a headache like motherfucking clockwork. I know, I know — “Gee Josh why don’t you just lie down on a different couch or sit up LOL?”

The answer is because I hate you.

I was hoping to start the editing process on the story I finished two weeks ago (tentatively titled “Another Door Opens” even though I really don’t like that name), but I’ll forgo that for tonight since the head hurts. It’s been a productive week and weekend, though. With the help of Tim Horton’s and Reggie and the Full Effect, I finished another story yesterday called “Getting Shifted.” It’s a sort of pseudo-fantasy yarn (I hate that word) and contains a fair amount of humor. Once I get done editing “Another Door Opens,” I intend to start work on another story I’ve been thinking about the last few days. Once it’s finished, then I’ll go and edit “Getting Shifted.” This way I can alternate between writing and editing, and gain a little perspective on a finished story, which makes being dispassionate during the editing stage much easier. And I’m fairly certain that last sentence was way too convoluted, but I don’t care. ‘Cause right now, I’m gonna go lie down on my nice comfy bed and watch a great cinema classic: Escape from LA.
