Brief
It's Spring Break, though for whatever reason it doesn't quite feel like it. It could be the fact that I've run out of money. I haven't started getting paychecks from the radio station yet, and the trip to Albuquerque cleaned me out. I thought today "it might be nice to walk down to the comics store", but then I realized that I didn't have enough money for comics. And on Spring Break, you can't use your fake college money for things.
I need to start applying to places this week, for the next step. I finally got my passport in, so I can try out the Canadian stuff. I also have thirty pages (at least) to write this week between "Watchers" and Screenwriting class, and I feel stuck. My current "Watchers" episode feels broken, and we're arguing right now about how to fix it. That hasn't really happened to me before.
I managed to see "Zodiac" on Chris' dime yesterday and I was still talking about it an hour after it finished. A very atypical movie, with so much going on. I'm not going to get started again right now. I did like a tagline I saw today: "There's more than one way to lose your life." I really could relate to some of the obsessive personalities playing out on the screen. But, while it never lost my interest, it was very long and it felt like it. This was a movie that aspired to be a TV show, even with a limited run. But I'll save the "TV is better than movies now" argument for another time. (Most people seem to use "24" or "The Sopranos" among their example for that argument... and I've never really cared about either. Which I guess shows TV has depth.)
