No Sleep

I need a jolt of caffeine. Not a little, a lot. The amount of caffeine that would result from giving Juan Valdez a Mountain Dew enema.

Luckily, my lack of sleep is from being up late due to inspiration. I had outlined and began putting down final dialogue for the pilot of my animated show, but something didn't feel right about it. It just didnt feel complete. So at about 9PM last night, I decided that I would begin to think about the possibility of mulling over a potential rewrite of the last two thirds of the script. I assumed that I could work on artwork and think about the script in the meantime.

However, once my head hit the pillow, my mind raced and I thought of several natural progressions in the script until one that actual works raced in. So at 11:30, I went into my spare bedroom, or the room made of dry erase boards, at began writing notes. Back into bed by 1 and could not sleep until about 2:30.

Ridiculous.

Good and Bad News

Bad News first. My Vanderbilt Commodores were upset in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Which ordinarily is no big deal, but they were a good team that played horrible. So basketball lost its fun for me.

More bad news. Lost wont be back until April 24th. While I am glad that there will be non-stop new episodes to end the season, Lost is the only thing I watch on TV with regularity, so the wait is killing me.

Good news. Now that basketball and Lost are kaput, it freed up a lot of time for me to work on my show. This weekend I completed a big chunk of the script and I have started arranging for actors to read the script and invited a friend on board to help with the audio recording. So this thing should pick up speed now.

I really havent done this in a while.

They say that blogs that are left unattended are 85% more likely to start smoking and become unwed mothers.

So I intend to add a few posts a week now so that my blog doesnt become another statistic and a part of the "system".

So what's going on with me that is so awesome that it must be blogged about?

1) I am currently very busy finishing a script for an animated pilot I am working on. I am considering doing a seperate blog for that, but I may just leave it here.

2) I am working out hardcore again. I havent done much recently except drink, so I have started running. Today I ran two miles. I am trying to build up my endurance so I can hit my goal of 217 miles. The reason for this is that I have a vacation in North Carolina coming up and I want to save on airline tickets.
--Sidenote: Someone just let me know that North Carolina is further than 217 miles away. Looks like I will be vacationing in Decatur, Illinois. And taking night classes in geography.

Let the bloggin' begin!!!!!!
