Speaking Japanese is coming along better.  I don't feel as sick and I can finally see past the page I'm writing.  Some things I've written I would have had a hard time writing if I knew where I was going, but for Speaking Japanese, or any screenplay really, it's hard to not be able to see where you're going.  My dog is dying.  He's got cancer, mostly in the form of a softball sized lump protruding from his side.  He's actually been more active lately, but I think it's because he hurts and just doesn't want to sit still.  He's been following me around more than usual, like he thinks I can help.  Also he's getting uncontrolable erections.  Nothing like seeing the lipstick.
