Ramblings #14

I saw Lincoln for the second time tonight and must confess that I could see it again and again. It really had an impact on me and not sure why. I love the likeness of Daniel Day Lewis to the 16th President and Sally Field was really good. There are some parts that really want to make me throw up, like the battle scene of dead soldiers and the burying of the amputated limps of living soldiers. That was tough to watch.

I am having a migraine as I write this. So this might be the shortest blog that I have written. I also started on the new paper that will be tomorrow’s blog. I have some finishing touches before publishing it. I have not touched what I thought would be my 101st blog. Now I am not sure when I will publish it as I really have stopped working on it and it seems once I stop, I can’t go back to finishing it.

I made a deal with a friend of mine to write every day to motivate her into writing her book. For the next five weeks there will be a post every day. We have decided to write to motivate our writing for our books and the only days off are our birthdays and Christmas. Our goal after the end of this will be for me to fix my claddaugh ring and for her to get a manicure. Seems reasonable and writing does pose a cure for me and my suffering. I just hope I don’t let her down.
