I swear to God my life is one big movie. Probably why I like them so much. So anyway, I'm driving home with my dad this afternoon. Just came back from my orthodontist appointment (so much fun). Got the old braces tightened, so I knew I had that window of a couple hours to hurry up and eat something cuz it'd be too much of a pain in the ass later. So in the midst of my dental nightmare, I'm reminded of someone who unfortunately has it worse. That girl I was talking about before? Well, she got her wisdom teeth pulled a few days ago. Poor thing. I wanted to bring her some soup (probly the only thing she can eat right now). Only problem is I don't know where she lives. Oh well. So, to make a long story longer, I'm thinking about her... and I'm thinking about her... and I'm thinking about her... and I start thinking of The Cure (her favorite band). And naturally, "It's Friday I'm In Love" starts playing in my head. And I wonder to myself, "hmm, wouldn't that be weird if it started playing on the radio right now." And what do you think happened LITERALLY within the next 5 seconds? ... Well, nothing. I just thought I'd build the suspense.
I'm kidding. Yes it did come on. 94.9 must be a magical station. Yea, yea, I know. Some of you right now are thinking, "So?". Well sure, it may not be much to some of you, but for a hopeless romantic shmuck like me, it's something, ok? So, in other news...
Well, damn, this may sound pretty sad, but there isn't much other news at the moment. Just been hanging out these last couple days. I got a ton of english homework I've got to somehow get done over the next few days before we go back. In the meantime, I've been loafing around, watching movies, playing guitar, attempting to work on my movies.
Oh, I haven't told you about that, have I?
Well I'm trying to write a couple scripts right now. So far, it hasn't been going to good. I know what I want, I just can't seem to get it all down. At least, not after 12 pages. It's the damndest thing. For some reason I start to get horribly stuck when I reach page 12 in a script. Don't ask me why. Anyway, I think I broke that curse today when I worked on one of the two major projects I've been working on. It's an Indiana Jones movie. Those movies are some of my all time favorites, and I've always wanted to make one. That, I'm definitely going to keep working on. The other is a comedy, kinda in the style of but not plagiaristic of Mallrats. I was having trouble on that one too, but the other night I came to the conclusion to make it into a series. The two main characters will be the focus, and it'll follow their everyday adventures, starting out with the ones laid out for the original feature.
So that's what I've been doing with my spare time, which I won't have much of pretty soon. So until we meet again, adieu.
