Theater facade ~ W. 44th St.
The changes, they are coming. Last night I went to Barnes & Noble.com and ordered an overdue birthday gift. While I was there, I checked out Barnes & Noble University, which is absolutely free (the books cost money, the classes don’t). And I hit on a course called Writing Fiction with the Gotham Writers’ Workshop. And I signed up for it. I’ve got nothing to lose, and it might get some creative juices going. I’m a writer, it’s time to use that part of me. I also signed up for a Backyard Stargazing course, just for kicks. For years I’ve wanted to know more constellations than Orion and the Big Dipper, so I’m going to learn. Small, baby steps, but steps to connecting with the parts of me I’ve been neglecting because it’s easier to come home from work and veg than do anything.
It’s a start.
Gotham? Will you be writing batman fanfic?
Good for you! I too am looking for things that peak my interest so that my summer is filled with more than after-work naps.
Well, aren’t you a littleoverachiever?
I took some Mediabistro workshops a couple months back — they cost about $60, but they’re very informative and fun. Now I’ll have to check out BNU.
Pull yourself together cause you know you should do better, that’s because you’re a free man.
Spread your wings baby.
You GO! I’m so glad you’re doing these things! I’m signing up for summer classes this week. Learning is amazing!
I love stargazing! It’s the best! Yeay on the courses…when I was there I always thought about the leaning annex but was too lazy to get off my ass to do that.
OMG!!!! “It’s 14 degrees here but in my stomach it’s the Fourth of July!”
Priceless!!!!
Don’t you just *love* BNU? I found them about 9 months ago, and I’ve been telling everyone I can about them because they’re so great. I’m *LOVING* my dream interpretation one that I’m doing right now. You should definitely check it out next time it comes around. Definitely worth it.
I’m also hoping to take some more classes at the Atlantian Mystery School (where I took the Tarot 101 class) and improve my metaphysical skills.
Enjoy the classes, and keep looking at them, as they change every 8 weeks.
OMFG!!! So I left that comment and then I watched the rest of the show and OMFG!
Cool. I want to do stuff like that. I seriously feel a need right now to get some creative juices flowing.
Back to jewlery making, that’s a summer art for me.
Where the hell are you all day, Julz?
That is awesome Julez! Wish we had a Barnes and Noble here but we definitely have a night sky and I love stargazing. Hope it’s all you want it to be!
that barnes and noble university looks pretty interesting!
Esther~I bet you could take the courses in SA. All you have to do is get the books.
Nanner~That’s the beauty of it, the whole damn thing is online. Order the books online, get them in the mail, take the class online.
Aimee~Mental health day.
E-Lo~I have discovered that knitting lace is light enough for the summer. Now if only I could figure out how I fucked up the pattern I’m working on and get it back to where it’s supposed to be, I will be fine.
Katey~Stupid TiVo decided not to tape it. So I have to wait until tomorrow to see it! *grumble*
Leenie~The next one I want to take is a grammar one. Because my grammar, it ain’t so good.
Mrs. M~Is Learning Annex legit? I see their flyers everywhere, so it seems like it can’t be.
Sloth~What if one of my summer classes involved Doctor Who? Would it be amazing then?
Vince~Excellent quote.
Retro~What is this Mediabistro of which you speak?
Lori~One of us has to be.
KtP~You know that a nap taken in the evening is really just “going to bed early,” don’t you?
Bunsen~Nyet. I live in Gotham City. But I haven’t yet seen Batman. Seen a fair amount of Jokers, though.
Not if you wake up and still putz around before going to bed. Oh, and not if you nap on the couch, either.
