Well... I'm goofing off at 4:15pm because Income Audit is pretty slow today. It's Friday, the sun is shining, and I'm at a desk. At least I'm not bussing tables or cleaning up vomit. It's payday, but I can't spend any money because I'm going to London in 4 days. Or whatever day Wednesday is. And damn. London is expensive. I really want to see Guys and Dolls starring none other than EWAN McGREGOR! Sigh. Maybe I'll get to go. Pretty sure it's sold out. Double sigh.
BUT LONDON!!!! Yay! This trip will mark my... let's see... Austria, Amsterdam, Venice, Istanbul, Prague, Cinque Terre, and now London. 7 trips, 7 countries (counting Germany). London's a big one for me - Paris is up there too. But now I'm looking at Spain more closely and Croatia of all places. I'd also like to hit Russia while I'm here, but who knows...
I think my next trip with be back to the states though. For American Idol Auditions. Yeah, I know. How cheesy, but an experience at the very least. And my friend Nicole wants to go with me. That will be cool. My friend Andrea's parents live in Chicago and they've already said we can stay with them. It'll be fun! Definitely an experience.
Hmmm. Oh - this is pretty neat... I can't remember what I was looking for, but I came across this today -

Wil Wheaton's blog. How cool is that?! Oh... right... he's the guy that was in Stand By Me - and Star Trek - um, hello?! My childhood crush! I just think it's neat that an actual celebrity writes a blog. It causes me to think about all the celebrities out there surfing the chatrooms and crap. I wonder... well, at least he's spending valuable time blogging instead of shooting up heroin or something.
Speaking of heroin, I'm homesick. Except that heroin has nothing to do with home. Well that's not true. The Galaxy is down the street from a methadone clinic - I know, great neighborhood - but is a methadone place really for heroin addicts? Oh I don't know - I'm homesick.
MMMM.... gatorade. It fell out of the vending machine... what do you want from me??
My screenplay's not going so well. I got distracted with Final Fantasy X for my playstation. I know, I know... if I hope to have it sold and on it's way to being produced by my 10 year high school reunion next year (AAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK), I need to keep plugging along. I'm getting bogged down in the middle. I need to re-vamp my outline. Plot certainly isn't an issue - I know what happens in my own life - but I need to make decisions on the more fictional aspects. That's the tough part... sexual tension? No sexual tension? The climax scene - I need to give it more punch. She truly needs to be able to change her life in one moment. Everything leads up to this one moment where it all just clicks for her. I need to really think on what moment it was that lead me to believe everything was ok. It took those 5 years.
Sigh. A big hollywood producer is coming out here to visit my very-good friend Nicole (he's her dad) - but I know I'm not going to ask him any questions. And I'm certainly not going to thrust my half-written script at him. Hi - I'm a nobody. Read my script! - yeah. ok.
That's it. I either have to win American Idol or get to know Wil Wheaton... or Nicole's dad - but I like Nicole too much to use her for connections. I couldn't do that. Which means, I'm not cut out for Hollywood. Hey - maybe I'll ask Wil Wheaton to star in my movie. I could completely see him as Justin - goofy, good sense of humor, sex appeal, but majorly fucked up as a person. Self-confidence in a sleazy way. Very smart, and very loyal. He could definitely work.
Anyway, it's just about time to close up shop for the weekend. Going white-water rafting in Austria on Monday, then to London on Wednesday - WOO HOO! One day work week!!
