Just When You Thought It Was Safe

Shark Week came early this year. I don't have cable, but a friend from work offered to record the new episodes for me. I need to do something nice for her. I was thinking a wedding ring but she already has one.

I was very drunk a few nights ago, and I punched through a window in my home. I don't remember why. But I'm fairly certain that if I thought I could actually do it, then I would not have done it. It was a storm window, I think they're called, so there's a further window on the other side that's still intact, and outside of that window is a chain-linked barrier to keep outsiders from breaking the windows. There is nothing to prevent insiders from breaking the windows.

A few friends from S.C. and I have signed up for the upcoming 48 Hour Film Project competition. We've got most everything lined up for it. I'm to be writing and directing, and I'm looking forward to it. I participated in one as an actor, in St. Louis, in 2004, and had a lot of fun. To prevent you from entering a film you made beforehand, they randomly assign you a genre, along with a character, prop, and line of dialogue that must be used. In '04 our group got "mockumentary" and we decided to save ourselves a lot of time by not writing a script, and improvising dialogue on set. I remember our movie made it into the final ten, or something. I was nominated for Best Actor, which ended up going to someone in SAG, but we did win Best Screenplay, which I think is a big accomplishment considering we didn't have one.
