Nothing, really.

Uh, I don't really have anything to say today, but I guess I should put something down right? I mean, the whole reason I started this thing is so that I am forced to write down stuff. It doesn't really matter, I suppose because I think the only person who reads this regularly is my girlfriend. I love you, Porkchop!

In other news, the Adam Green show is this Thursday, and I'm Mega-Excited! so Mega-Excited, that I decided to capitalize and hyphenate it! Hooray! And after that, i'm going to Williams Lake to my sisters for Easter! So that's all kinds of awesome rolled into one easy to carry package. I really want to go to Science World and buy gifts for my niece and nephews, but I'm really not sure if I can afford that. Curse you, low income!

Alright, well, I'm gonna go for now. If I think of something more entertaining to write, I'll come back.

Bananaman Updates

Yesterday was a fairly productive day. Jon came over to work on Bananaman, and we barely got distracted, which was totally rad. I also tried Vera's Burger Shack; so worth the 14 dollars I spent!

But, yeah, Bananaman is really coming along. We Finished the script (huzzah!) and started breaking it down and figuring out how to shoot it. We even made a little map of my living room on Paint. It's colour coded and everything! Check it out!

Now you can all layout your living room like me! First you have to figure out what all the different boxes are though. It'll be fun! Like a Puzzle!

I've decided that I for sure am going to direct Bananaman. Remember how I was unsure before? Huh? Do ya? Well, colour me certain... because I am... certain. Damn. I could have worded that better. I also might wind up playing the role of Ben/Bananaman. Hopefully I can avoid that, but we'll see.

Well, I feel like I have nothing else to say right now, so I'll see you guys later. Or I won't. It's not like I'm some kind of psychic; able to predict future events and what-not. What do you want from me?

Might I Get Loud?

I have to shower again today.

I showered once already, but then my armpits started leaking, and I smell again. What a bummer.

In other news, I went over to Jon and Leslie's yesterday to work on the makeup for Leslie's film "By the Lantern." It went pretty well, actually. I am feeling much more confident in my ability to make her look like a ninety year old hermit with gross skin lesions. If you guys are ever putting liquid latex on an actor though, make them shave all the teeny little hairs away from the area. Seriously. They will thank you later. We learned our lesson, let me tell you! you shoulda heard it, ripping away! Hilarious!

I also watched an awesome documentary last night, called "It Might Get Loud." Basically, it was Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge talking about their approaches to playing the guitar. I can't even describe it, it was so good- words just don't seem able to accurately convey how much I dug it. Even me saying that seems to fall short. Enough of me gushing though, you get the idea.

Well, that's all for today, folks.

I gotta go shower.

Hey!
I have a question.
What would you do if I
Stole all of your jewelry?
Broke all off your china?
Cut up all of your photo albums?

And what would you do if I
Smooshed all of your grapes?
Burnt all of your toast?
Deflated all of your soufflés?

I bet you’d be pissed.


This is something I wrote quite a while ago when I couldn't sleep. I quite like it. Cower before the awesome might of my poetry! COWER!!

Bananaman

As you know (do you like how I write this as if somebody is actually reading it?) Jon came over to work on the Bananaman Script yesterday. It was definitely a good session. We got the entire story fleshed out, all that needs to be added now is some extra dialogue and some voice over stuff. Then storyboards! Huzzah! It looks like it should be between 10-20 minutes, which is perfect festival length. Jon wants me to direct it; I've gotta be honest, that makes me pretty nervous, as the only thing I directed in school didn't turn out well. Well, it turned out alright, but I got bored with the project and abandoned it in editing. We'll see. Bananaman is pretty awesome, and is much more my style.

I also dug out some scripts I wrote in film school that I had forgotten about, or just written off. Turns out, I actually really dig 'em, so I think I'll fix 'em up a bit and shoot them, see how that turns out. I'll keep you posted on that, assuming my enthusiasm doesn't wane.

Wednesday Morning, 3am.

Okay, so it isn't Wednesday, nor is it 3 am yet, but anyone who knows me knows that I like to put in references to something where ever I can. It makes me feel worldly and intelligent- it also makes me feel cool, though I realize that it probably just annoys and alienates a lot of people. Whatever, I doubt I would like them anyway.

I've forgotten what my intention was for this post...

So, Jon is coming over to work on our Banana Man script. I'm really looking forward to it, not only because the idea of a film in which the main character wears a banana costume the entire time excites me (not like that, you fucks), but also because I am excited to be writing with a partner. I always feel as though my best ideas come when I have a collaborator. Hopefully we won't get too distracted, as I do have video games-a-plenty, and the attention span of a gerbil with ADD. Here's hoping.





UPDATE!03/19/2010 1:55AM

Oh man! I remembered what I was going to post about! I was going to talk about how I can't seem to stop eating if there is food in front of me...

Hrm. The moment seems to be gone.

I'm New

Alright. This is my first Blog. I think. I may have had one once in high school; if I did, then I forgot about it soon after creating it. The Purpose of this here blog is to (hopefully) force me into writing more, because I am terrible at starting things then not finishing them, so i thought to myself "Hey! If I put out thoughts and ideas on the Interwebs, then people will read them and tell me I'm awesome, which will in turn inspire me to work on projects, like the several scripts and what not scattered about on my hardrive. Right? Right?" Flawed logic, I know. But I'm gonna give it a shot anyway. So, here it is in all its (brilliantly titled) glory! Fear my blogging Prowess!!
