My lack of posts

I’ve been slacking lately. Actually, I haven’t been slacking and that’s the problem. I’m really excited about a lot of new stuff I’m going to be launching over the next month or so. Most of it is related to another site and (gasp!) new blog, on Monsoon and filmmaking. It’s going to be more focused than this site. Less rambling nonsense.

Also, I’m on the fence about putting up a few of my short stories and micro-stories here. I’m leaning towards doing it, but we’ll see what happens. Besides that, I honestly just haven’t had a whole lot to post about and not a lot of time to sit down and write things out. The three jobs are wearing me down and the little bit of time I do have for writing I’ve been spending putting together the early phases of my next feature script. It’s funny how it always happens when I’m not focusing on it. I had a bunch of other projects and then BAM, a story idea that really grew on me formulated into a feature. It’s exciting stuff.

In the meantime, I’m going to set a goal of continuing to post my randomness here at least twice a week for fun.

Mourning Over

I thought proclaiming on a blog post that I was ready to get back to work would be enough motivation on its own. I was wrong. The thing is, I was healthy again a few weeks ago, but two things happened – 1) lots of rain and I never do well in gloomy weather, and 2) I wasn’t over finishing my TV Pilot.

Observations at Borders

In order to maintain my sanity (and my paycheck) I’ve come to treat my time working at the Seattle’s Best Café inside Borders as a large social experiment. Based on the last few posts I’ve made about my experience thus far, it wasn’t a reach to take this attitude. It only meant that I observed all behavior through the lens of research rather than through the lens of “I hate my life”. Being a café worker making enough to cover my gas and lunch money is depressing. Being witness to all kinds of interesting social behavior is fascinating.

Movie Review - Avatar

It took me a long time to see Avatar, longer than I had planned. I didn’t want to get caught up in the hype, but I knew I had to experience it on the big screen in 3-D to fully appreciate it, so I finally made the time.

I love/hate fantasy football

I hate fantasy football. I also love fantasy football. It’s so addicting and absorbing that once you’re into it, there’s no turning back. I had a good start to my fantasy football career. I won the league title back-to-back years, and took first in the regular season the other year. I felt unstoppable. Once we shifted to a pay league that included keepers, I knew I would be winning championships for years to come.
