Day 124: Episode

Man I didn’t want to get up this morning, left it till the last minute, finally got myself moving and onto a bus in time to make it to work for 7, then sat around for hours waiting for deliveries to turn up. Classic work. The day passed slowly; it was uneventful, ate away at my brain. Didn’t go further into depression but didn’t come out. Just maintained. The time passed. Came home and fell asleep, as I always seem to do after early opens at the moment, woke up not knowing who or what I was, went to buy tea and ate it watching Jiggs play Zelda in the living room. Then came upstairs and watched some Rick and Morty and made notes on story structure. Dan Harmon uses the concept of story circles, which he adapted from Campbell’s hero’s journey, to plot his TV work, so Rick and Morty and Community are great examples of classic story structure to research. Plus because they’re satisfactory stories, and they're funny, they’re easy to watch late into the night when you feel crappy and you’ve got no energy for anything else.

Work again tomorrow morning. Shouldn’t stay up any longer. Might watch one more episode though...
