GI Joe Resolute: Going back to highschool (the cool way): Pride Prejudice by Marvel Comics

I shouldn't be the one to tell you to check this shit out by now:

But CHECK THIS SHIT OOOOOOOOUT! (guitar riff)

It slices, dices, and blows up Moscow by the 4 minute mark.

I think this is a good idea.
Going to my old school and ask the teachers what books the kids (like first through fifth grade) are reading. Avert them from reading League of Gentlemen (unless we're talking about some really austere motherfucking 1st grader) or anything with a cute cover but has rape, incest mutilation, and a scene of two consenting adults having sex...while floating above their bed...and one of them is naked (the girl in this case. The guy is just humpin' air). A comprehensive list made by the DON'T CLICK THAT generation over at tvtropes should help me with this:

By DON'T CLICK THAT I mean:

Pride & Prejudice...
I heard Patton Oswalt was buying this and gave it a shot. An adaption of the Jane Austin novel, it is really ...interesting so far. I need to read Pride&Prejudice the book someday as well as this comic later today. I guess it helps with learning how woman converse and interact but I would benefit with a few days with my Aunts in Atlanta or just some of the girls I still have cell numbers to. OH THAT'S GOING TO BE A BAD IDEA.

Writing a show aimed for children is not my ideal situation but I'll write whatever comes to mind.

Some knowledge from the High School Dir. at USN, Mr. Robbins:

Even if they don't get the show or the script you write is destroyed by executives, the critical words I get about the script I write well be extremely advantagious to me growing as a writer.

PS:
As a Wolverine fan I'm stoked for this recentmovie with him cutting lose on choppers and whatnot. As a Cyclops fan... words fail to describe my excitement in seeing a Scott Summers appearance.

Facebooks sucks; nothing has just changed

The reason facebook sucks is not the arbitrary friends you collect because Myspace and all other sites like it have that issue.
It's not it's design, which was at first basic and self-restrained. Has become malleable and complex (not quite as user friendly as they probably hoped it would be though). Not exactly a bad thing really.
I hate you facebook for making me think I can talk to my friends on the fly. I expect responsiveness akin to a chatroom or forum. I end up checking up on all updates and just sitting there waiting for responses. My wait made as well come in the form of sleep because only a handful will respond within a minute or 30 minute frame. And then I have to find where the update is. Photos? Groups? Some new game of vampires or Harry Potter that I don't have the patience to play? (The notifications have cleared this discrepancy up as of late)
I have the blog that I update so rarely, I have the twitter to keep up with the manic thoughts of Warren Ellis, and I have 456 unread e-mail messages. Keeping my facebook is more of a burden than ever.
I want to be a solid writer and facebook does not help in that respect as much as the rest do.

I did the 40th annual(? I don't know. it could be bi-annual) Dove Awards (think contemporary gospel awards show) for the Gospel Channel at the Grand Ole Opry. That was sweeeeeet and X-TREME.
I got so much sleep and naptime done last month and this month that I think I od'ed on unconsciousness. I got so tired of myself wasting away and not contributing to society that this Production Assistant job came at just the right time.

Now I talked the executive producer into working on something else for him.
It has to do with superheroes, so really? I'm as happy as a little gurrrl!

I cannot believe I get to work with a superhero character. I'm SO excited to try out all the story plots I've seen work in so many comics and film and tv and OMIGOD I'VE GOT TO DO AN EPISODE ABOUT _______!!! THAT'S GONNA BE FUCKING BOSS.

This was kinda thrown at me. And it is expected that my script will be cut to shreds by production so, that being the case, what do I have to lose by writing whatever story I like?

Oh and the show is... nevermind I'll write some dialouge and srping it on ya that way.

WORD OF THE DAY:
