The Highs Vs. The Lows

I need to stop grasping and start working. I'm working on a plan and a goal. And I should write more.

I haven't written anything in two weeks. What would NIN think? I know that's random, but that's how I'm feeling. Nothing seems to connect or fit or even makes sense.

The Highs Vs. The Lows is a reference to Red Dwarf's Season 5 episode "Demon & Angels" wherein the crew is split into triplicate.There is the normal Red Dwarf, the angel/higher side which , to quote High Cat is "your higher self; your spiritual side. I exist in you as potential" and is in pursuit "of spiritual and intellectual fulfillment", then there is the Low side which pretty much is your basic instincts like sloth, lust, envy, and my favorite sin, pride (actually it's probably a tie between pride and sloth).

Lately Low Michi has been winning. I sit around and complain more about how I'm not writing. I haven't made anything lately. Not even knitting. I'm just doing a row every other day of my little purple hat.


The silver lining is that I have been reading a lot. I'm still reading My Antonia, but I slipped in Grendel: Red, White & Black and Mage Vol. 1 both by Matt Wagner. Mr. Wagner is f'n awesome. His grasp of mythology has me in awe.
