I Told You I Was Freaky

I just want this to come out:

One Man PJ Party

Last day of what can only be dubbed "Pajama Weekend."
Been wearing these PJs since 8 a.m. Friday.

I was hoping to get a lot of work done this weekend, but ended up playing video games and watching comic book movies the whole time.
This got me thinking...
I would probably start smoking weed again if I had a small group of like-minded friends that I could smoke and watch movies with.
Instead all my friends that smoke end up smoking way too much and then wanting to jam.
That's probably why I was getting nervous breakdowns from it...
or probably not.
I'm not going to test my theory.

Just wrote a Driving Miss Daisy sequence for the film that leads into the Randy Newman sequence. On a roll, so hopefully I can ride this long enough to finish this draft.

August 29th.

This blogathon is working out pretty good.
I don't really write what's going on in here, so I guess I can do a quick update.

Leaving for California in 18 days.
Pumped for that.

Once I get back we're going to start shooting my short film. It's all cast and we have every location down except one. Now I just need to get everyone their scripts and start shotlisting.
The script is weird to me, there's no "fucks" or "shits." Everything else I've ever written has been really joke-centric, this one is real straightforward drama. What makes me stand out is comedy, so I'm a little nervous about people going "This is bullshit, you really went downhill. Stick to writing stories about Bizarro World and robots, faggot." After reading through it I realized that I don't have any references to comics or star wars or any of my other stuff. (In the timeline of my shit, this story ends one year before the others happen.) At least the soundtrack is going to be amazing, and it'll be a film I can show my family.

I know I'm not selling it right now, but I do really like it. It'll be so much fun to shoot. I like writing, I like filming, and I love editing.

Obviously I'll be posting more info on here as we get stuff done, including pictures, trailers, any dvd info, etc...
So start saving up for the dvd. (Which is probably going to cost a whole $5 and include a ton of extra stuff)

In My Dreams, I Think I'm A Sailor

I had a really vivid dream where I had a lifesaver tattooed on my left forearm.
So vivid that I was convinced by the end of the dream that I really did in fact have a lifesaver tattooed on my left forearm.
Obviously I woke up and found out that it wasn't true,
but it looked damn good in the dream.

I wouldn't really get that done though,
because in my dream for some reason I had more muscular forearms.
That's the only reason I pulled it off.
I must have been a sailor.

Mission Accomplished

I can officially grow a full beard.
Everything connects, even though the 'stache is real porn-ish.
Knowing this...I shaved it all off today.
Not regretting it yet.

Pumped For Sept.

I won another interpunk contest.
No idea why I keep entering that shit, I hate punk.
All I ever get is signed street punk cds.

Made a huge change in the short script.
Instead of the best friend being a guy, it's a girl.
This makes the ending make WAY much more sense.
So tomorrow I'm going to lock myself inside and finish the first draft.
The less I have to write in California, the better.

And now I get to cast another girl. Awesome.
Even though I couldn't get any better than the girl who's already in the movie:

Woo

Finally got my Alta money.
Totally worth all the shit I had to go through, including having to make a statement in front of a judge.
Now I have spending money for California and a budget for the movie.

Today I'm going to try to find a cheap DVD rack.
Because my DVD collection has gotten out of hand.
