Heep heep hooray! The script for Chance #2 is done! I think this one only took me about 24 hours, instead of 40, although it’s 2000 words longer. 24 hours is good. Jesus, have I *nothing* interesting to talk about? Perhaps I should do a week’s worth of post topics, where people can ask me a question or give me a topic and I’ll write about it. Except I’m not sure I could stand the public humiliation of announcing a topic post week and discovering nobody thought I knew anything…
fuhgedaboudit
Breic, a while ago, picked up the phrase, “Forget about it,” only he said “Fuhgedaboudit.” This was accompanied by a deep, soul-shaking sigh, a deep slump of his shoulders and the heavy hang-doggedness of a lowered head. Sometimes he would put his hands in his pockets, making the whole thing that much more melodramatic. (Then he would peek at you carefully, out of the corner of his eye, to see if his pathos had the desired effect.) He stopped saying and doing this after not very long (the rest of…
*sleepyeyes*
Stayed up far too late last night. *sleepy eyes* We went into Cork to watch “16 Blocks” yesterday. I liked “Inside Man”. It didn’t cheat. It was a good, solid, intelligent movie with decent characterizations and good actors. “16 Blocks” blew it out of the water, in my opinion. Bruce Willis looked so awful he looked gorgeous, his physical acting was above and beyond anything I’ve seen out of him, his line delivery was so not-Willis that the five or so times he said something that *did* sound like Bruce…
writing is hard…
I’m on page 12, or have just finished, page 12, of this script. I’m at about 4300 words, which is only a thousand or so words short of the full length of the first script. I know there’s more dialog in this one, but sheesh. Writing is hard. Let’s go shopping! But no. I must do at least one, and preferably 2 or 3 more pages today. Whine whine whine. OTOH, my, it’s nice to write something I can finish in 3 days instead of 6 weeks! I got *sunburned*…
weigh-in and stuff
Weighed in at 156 again this morning, which didn’t really surprise me, although it was a little disappointing. I need to do better with eating this week than I did last week, though I’m getting back on track. I walked 3 or so miles today, and I bought weights yesterday. I need a second set of dumbbells; these ones are perfect for some of my exercises and I wasn’t going to buy and carry around another 20 pound pair. But it’s 5 weeks until my birthday and I have this…
