nothing much new really. Feels like I’ve placed my whole life on hold for over a month, while pining for a paying job with friends. Should be resolved soon. i hope. good lord.<\/p>\n
Daniel Waters, the writer of Heathers (and helper on scripts of\u00a0hudson hawk, Demolition Man, and Batman Returns),\u00a0recommends the work of PAddy Chayefsky and Billy Wilder. I\u00a0just mention as a note to self, so i\u00a0can throw away a scrap of paper. He also recommends “The Second Sex” by Simon de Beauvoir, to anyone\u00a0hoping to write women characters.<\/p>\n
I’m going through the stack of notes on my desk today (having already\u00a0paid bills and\u00a0entered receipts). In theory i’m hoping to get to some website work. But i’m guessing i’ll be\u00a0distracted by the huge stacks of videos games comics and books that have piled up. this kind of makes me sad. but not really. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I started playing Fallout3 yesterday (it’s locked up my xbox360 twice, while exiting buildings. wtf?). Started jericho on PC (it was on sale for 9 bucks) – i stopped playing almost\u00a0immediately because i could see that i was deeply in love\u00a0with the game’s story\/style\u00a0and wanted to\u00a0put some time into Fallout3 first. \u00a0Also played some of sam and max episode 205 (the end of season 2) last night, because i recently received the season DVD in the mail, and am eager to listen to some commentaries.<\/p>\n
For some reason, my favored activity of late is : laying in bed, in the dark, listening to audio on my computer. which usually means movie commentaries. Though I’ve also downloaded some audio books recently, so i’ll have to give that a shot. Video games are neato, but my chair (PC) and the living room couch (Consoles) are both crappy and hurt my back. I also like laying in bed and reading books (currently working through WizardAndGlass, with little breaks taken to read graphic novels from the library), but this also hurts back\/neck.<\/p>\n
Feel like i need to replay Gears of War (on PC this time, perhaps, since i never even opened this purchase), to prep for the sequel. Feel like i need to play the old Fable before buying the sequel. Don’t feel a lot of excitement for The Force Unleashed, although i just stopped playing at the start of a cool looking level (shiny mushroom planet), and was having a great time. Never even started playing Condemned2, but am psyched to start,\u00a0since i\u00a0really loved the first game.<\/p>\n
I dont’ think it would be fun to read about\u00a0my return to TV watching, thanks to so many shows being freely\/legally available on the internet now.\u00a0Suffice to say\u00a0there is a huge time sink there as well.<\/p>\n
tons of fun things everywhere. And i feel like, if i’m going to head back to\u00a09-to-5 town, i should just treated\u00a0every free moment like vacation. As if i’m somehow\u00a0going to sit down and spend every free moment on personal projects again the moment the job starts. as if all these\u00a0entertainment distractions won’t overwhelm my free time once i’m back in the grind of working for others. hmm.<\/p>\n
still, i’m optimistic. live it! LIVE IT!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
