interesting

i got a birthday card from michelle. it was a nice thought. dork, even sent me some $$$ for a printer that was broken, even though i never really expected it.

speaking of receiving $$$. this is the third unexpected payment i've gotten all since my bday. 1) from taxes 2) a refund from citibank 3) mk. and all for roughly the same amount. of course, all goes in the bank to pay for bills so it's not like i'm going to buy a new car or something, but it's a pleasant coincidence. trying to figure out what the significance of it is though if everything happens for a reason.

in the back of my mind too, i'm wondering if it was Karma as well since i've donated a significant amount of money to the Obama campaign - something i am behind and look forward too. hopefully it's a confirmation that he'll be president and turn this country and it's people around.

i'm also wondering if it has something to do with my new found determination to make Garden of Dreams happen. there's still so much work to be done even though we haven't even started rehearsals, but i'm so thankful for this opportunity and for the people i'm working with and whose support i couldn't live without. maybe the $$$ is to help this become a reality. time will tell.

i found a new spot to write in the most UNLIKELY of spots - a Nob Hill in my little town. i was trying to go to starbuck's last night after work after printing my latest copy of the script, but it was closed for a staff meeting. in that same "shopping center" is a java city inside the Nob Hill. i walked in and found out that section of the store was huge with a big screen, lots of tables and chairs and more importantly - plugs! it helps that there's no wi-fi so i can concentrate. but yup, i'll be there for a couple of nights to really really nail down my story and it's characters.
