Vacation--the halfway point

So, today my stay-cation is half over.

I always take stay-cations. I rarely go anywhere. There are a couple of reasons for this:

1. I don't really have the funding to go anywhere.
2. I hate to travel.

Oh, I will travel, for business or to visit someone, but I rarely go somewhere just to see the sights or anything. Like a few years ago I spent nearly a week in Vegas visiting a close friend who lived there. Didn't set foot in a casino the whole time I was there, though--I wasn't there for that, and I don't gamble anyway, and the vast majority of those shows they have are . .  ugh. I had a great time just hanging out with my friend and her daughter, who is also my goddaughter. I didn't require anything else.

Usually I have projects I want to work on while I'm on vacation. This time it's a spec script--I have an idea where I'd like to be by the end of this coming weekend. Maybe I'll be there.

I'd also like to get at least one new song posted but I'm not so sure about that one. The one I want to do is going to be a little dicey--it's "Inside," lyrics posted here yesterday. It'll be really good, if I can make it come out like the version I hear in my head, but it'll take some work to get it right. It's a bit tricky because it's just me--sometimes it poses technical difficulties, let's say.

That friend I visited in Vegas a few years ago has started a production company with her partner, and they are working on producing a short film. However, they need help with it, and by that I mean financial help. Yes, I've donated, as have others, but it's not enough. You can click the widget in the upper right if you want to help them out yourself. Or just go to http://www.dracoequus.com/ and click "Donate." No amount is too small. The film they want to do would be wonderful--the story is charming and will make a splendid film. But if they don't get the money it won't get made. Which would be tragic. The project is called Hearts on the Knee.

So, help my friends out, keep your fingers crossed that I reach my goal and also get this tune recorded. I hope your own week is progressing well and you're getting a chance to have some fun!
