(no subject)
Since I've stopped playing the game, I've been utilizing my newfound hard drive space by re-ripping some CDs back onto my computer, starting with albums that are not/have never been on my ipod. The first one I ripped today, what I am listening to right now, is Garcia by jerry Garcia, an album I have on vinyl, but haven't listened to for at least eight months. It's nice. It's an old blanket of nostalgia to wrap myself in.
Today, though, I was fliping through my binders looking for my copy of necrophobia. I knew it wasn't in there, but my copy had been tucked in with my CDs for a year or so. It's in some blank DVD case, squirreled away some where in the apartment. It's been awhile since I watched it, and I want to take a look at it to (hopefully) get some inspiration for more zombie goodness, which brings me to the meat of the post, what I think I had been trying to get to for the past forty-five minutes (there were a few previous incarnations of this post that were even more terrible than this one). I think I am approaching, albeit very slowly, a turning point in my life, a big decision that will inform what I am going to do with myself for the indeterminate future. If you had asked me in the last couple of years what I was going to do with my life, I would have probably said that I was planning on opening up a restaurant with my brother. That is what I have been working towards for the last year or so (No, that's a lie, for the last year or so I've been playing world of warcraft and ignoring most everything else). This past summer, though, walker planted the seed of an idea that has started germinating in the fragile spring of portland. An internet TV network, where we could do whatever we want with the medium. What does this have to do with Necrophobia? Zombie TV show (tentatively titled "Necrophobia: The Series," but I'm not sure that I can't come up with something a little more inventive than that). So, at the very least, I am at a slowly approaching fork in the road. In the next two or three years, I will have to move from portland to either Anchorage, to fulfill one dream of opening a restaurant with my brother, or move to (probably) Austin, TX to do the internet TV show. Not only that, but I am in a relationship that could conceivably still be going when I have to make that decision. At the very least, my immediate future is pretty clear: write 12 scripts for the first season of the zombie tv show, and continue working in restaurants, honing that craft, until such time that I have to move one place or the other and make a decision.
