Hey people, what's goin' on? I ain't on here as much 'cuz since I moved I don't have regular internet access. Bein' in Baltimore's been pretty cool. Still trying to figure things out...mainly like where to eat late (thanks Josh.)
I like my apartment, I'm the only tenant in the building who doesn't have a dog. I live right across the street from a hospital so there are constantly sirens blaring by which is absolutely fine by me. Oddly enough I find the sounds of the city chaotically soothing (if that makes sense.) When I was living with my folks after moving out of DC and moving to B-more I never felt comfortable with the quiet and peaceful surroundings of the 'burbs.
The primary reason I wanted my own place because I thought being alone would give me the freedom I need to be more creative. So far it has. I've really been able to concentrate on the script/film idea I've been working on for the past few months. What I like to do is pace around my living quarters and dictate (to myself) the plot points, themes and character traits I come up with. My neighbors may think I'm crazy but so what? The guy that lived in the apartment before me was a chain-smoking painter so I figure I'm a bit of an upgrade (No joke: when I first saw the apartment you could see where the smoke had stained the walls and cigarette butts littered the deck.)
Haven't done too much hanging out yet outside of visits to the Brewer's Art on back to back weekends. It ain't the Brickskeller but it will do. I haven't been to Ottobar or really anywhere else. (I only recently even located the Ottobar las week.) Josh pointed out the Paper Moon Cafe to me and I think I will be frequenting there. Ben introduced me to the Sip and Bite, a dive that's probably cooler than it should be. It's weird, Charles Village is nice but the place literally shuts down at about 11 at night and doesn't really get going til about 11 in the morning either, not really good traits for someone who is both a night person AND a morning person like I am even the Papa John's down the street closes at 10!
Odd, I haven't really missed the internet as much as I thought I would. I miss it for information gathering purposes but that's about it mainly 'cuz I've been so productive and I've been watching more DVDs than I normally do. I've even been reading! In the past the only reading I did was whenever I was on the go or on the john but sometimes I just lay down on my bed, throw on some music and actually read stuff.
Well that's what's up Killoggs. See ya next week!
