It's Been A While

Let's just say that I've been busy. Classes for this month were winding down and I didn't exactly have a lot of time to myself. Well, I did but I spent it watching Dollhouse and catching up on my DVR's. Which was fine by me. I did do a lot of writing too. Oh. I think I just found the focus of this blog.

So first off, I like writing. Not so much like. I need to write. I have too damn many thoughts in my head and need a way to get them all out. That way is writing.

This week I've been kind of obsessed with a comic. Actually I've been obsessed with it for a while, but I digress. That comic is Planetary, written by Warren Ellis and masterfully drawn by John Cassaday. I've been trying to turn that into a TV series. There is so much that could be expanded there and I think I'm just the boy for the job.

In addition to that, I've been writing my own stuff: two TV pilots (That the term for the first episode, case you didn't know). One is a zombie show that focuses on a Global Response Team that goes around to human enclaves giving them supplies like food and solar panels and stuff. The other is a supernatural high school show that, I won't lie, borrows heavily from Buffy. It let me write a scene that made me laugh for an hour. It's something that reminded me of Elie, which is always a good thing.

Lastly, just today I got hit with the idea to make Portal, an awesome game, into a movie. I'm breaking it down right now so I can have a better grasp on it when I start writing it. The game is about a girl who wakes up in a testing center and is given a gun that can make, you guessed it, portals. It goes a lot deeper than that but I'm running out of things to say. I think this one might write itself.

Best!

One Week Later

It's been a whole week and I not much has happened. I started two new classes, Documentary Filmmaking and Editing. Doc, as the kids call it, is alright. We learn about the theory of documentaries, which is cool. Editing is better though. We're learning, hold on a second, editing. Video editing to be specific. Film editing involves dark rooms and scissors. It's interesting because I'm not very good at editing so I'm learning how to be not not very good.

There was one big thing that happened on Thursday. I went to see the Sounds. My favorite band ever. They put on one hell of a show. There were even times where, swear to god, the lead singer Maja (pronounced Maya) Ivarsson winked at me. It was amazing. Every single song was even better live. When all was said and done I had had one of the best nights I could have had in Orlando. Also today I saw UP and I cried a lot. My eyes still have that dried tear feel in them. it kind of sucks,

Best!
