Configuration and Randomness

I have again arranged my office furniture. I don't seem to ever be satisfied. I know nothing of fung shui.

hmm I gotta stop leaving my space heater plugged in when I leave. That could be disastrous.

I've been trying to develop a story for the last two years. Anne Frankenstein. I'm finally outlining a script. I don't know why. I wanna do this story justice. Combining fiction and non-fiction is not an easy task. I want to be historically accurate, but sometimes thats really boring. Writing a full length script is really intimidating.

I think I just beat a cold. I had a sore throat for the last two days.

I'm sorry.

I'd played guitar today. Its been a while since I had some free time to really let loose on the thing. I tried to remember a bunch of the songs that I had but I was stumbling at the gates in the vocals section. Its been even longer since I tested out the pipes. To put it plainly, I suck at singing haha.

Sitting at my desk I began to feel my house shake. It was a slow steady rumble that only grew louder and louder. Was it an earthquake? Hurricane? Did the roof of my house finally rip off only to reveal a flying saucer ready to beam me up and demand me to "take me to your leader"? No. It was just laundry day. The spin cycle on my washer bangs against the wall whenever the load is offset. Just ordinary life. That other stuff is just wishful thinking.

bored

dude seriously. I'm so bored during the evening. My dog Einstein was straight up begging me to give him some of my spaghetti. But I'm like "nah bro, you gotta get your own."

and now he's digging through my trash. hold on.

ok, i had to put him in the house.

I got contracted to do a video for the Fairfield Superior Court. Thats gonna be interesting. Its an arraignment video. I havent done much corporate work but I think this is gonna be an easy gig.

Last night I sold one of my Arri lights on craigslist. I posted it around 7:30 and sold it around 8:45. (not sure on the exact times) that has got to be the quickest sale I've ever done. I always get really nervous when selling and buying stuff on CL. (thats how the hipsters abbreviate it) I never know if I'm about to let a murderer or even worse, a rapist into my home. I've had a few scares in the past. Like the old guy wearing his high school letterman jacket that I totally thought was gonna try to rape me. I sold him a guitar. Or the redneck looking guy with the pickup truck that looked like he was gonna rape me. I sold him a guitar also... hmm.. I think I should stop selling guitars on CL.

So apparently I've been doing business with some company in Istanbul. Cause they charged me 3.15$ to my bank account the other day. Instead of getting angry and hulking out I decided to get productive and learn a few things about the country that is currently stealing my identity. Heres the link to the wiki article also. very interesting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul
so one American dollar is worth 1.59 Turkish Lira's. Not bad Turkey, I thought your exchange rate was horrible. Cause if I knew that my 3.15$ was going to buy some poor guy a farm with some goats I probably wouldn't have minded. Just a heads up would have been good.

What to do and what to say

I havent had any real news to write about lately. I've kinda been bored.

hmm lets see. I've been writing up our personal appearance forms for Drunkumentary.. I have a claus in there stating that the participant must do their duty to promote the film, either through word of mouth and through social networking sites. Haha

What else is new? Had some pad thai today. That is all....

hella gone

So tonight was the first night of shooting our first feature length documentary. Its called Drunkumentary. and it follows a few guys and myself trying to complete a short film, all being drunk. I'm still really buzzed as i type this. Damn. good thing I only drink during the writing and editing of this film....

And tomorrow I have another weekend of TTBC. (if youve kept up with my blog you'd know what that means!) and also I'm juggling trying to finish this real estate video. Damn. I know I said I like to be busy but man.. i feel like I'm gonna die.. or explode at least haha.

Anyways... things are looking better than usual.. with a few minor hiccups along the way.. but hey, thats a given.

So today my mom asked me to make copies of my parents marriage contract. I've never seen it before, let alone knew if it still existed. They were married back in 1974. thats 37 years. I never new that.
