just sitting here playing poker, listening to moldy oldies on the pandora, and feeling inexplicably cheerful.

Been thinking a little, about elements of storytelling, Sometimes, when I write something, I find myself liking my voice. Not immediately, not as it comes out, and certainly not every time, but frequently, eventually, after re-reading and re-reading, fixing this and that--bits that don't...

I wrote a script, and i gave it to a guy who reads scripts, and he read it, and he said he really likes it, but he thinks i need to re-write it. I said fuck that. I'll just make a copy. -- Mitch Hedberg

Anyway. So, just home from the dentist, a bi-annual cleaning, and I had a question, and then realized I could get an answer, and so called the office. A really quick and dumb question, I said, but I just had a cleaning, and Kelly did the fluoride thing, and . . . Can i have a cup of coffee? Or...

Ah, as the bard wrote: words, words, words. Anyway, some top words, arranged by category: Top Middle English word that should have died with Chaucer: Fart. Ugliest word: Phlegm. Most embarrassing word: Penis. Best made-up word ever: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Top three words I...

And I was reminded of where this bit came from. A script, a somewhat playful attempt at a Sorkinesque riff on a Sorkin world. One I worked through some time ago, and even made some small futile effort to get someone in the Sorkin sphere to read. And I still kind of like it. And...

I know you all find my stream of consciousness endlessly entertaining, but I do have things to do. However I did find a MHP (mental health professional) on-line who, in a video conference, wrote me a scrip for a pill to make me a better (and by better I mean more skillful) person. So far, on...

I feel like posting (for, I think, a short time) another one of these, from the PKD (Philip K. Dick) adaptation. I think it gives me the illusion that I'm doing something, lol. I've invented the incidents and the dialogue (with the exception of a few lines) but I try to follow ideas in the book...

I posted this once before, had second thoughts and deleted, and now have second second thoughts and am posting it again, because I would really appreciate some feedback. It's from a screenplay adaptation of a novel that I want try to get in front of the intellectual property owner, to see if it...

Edit: Deleted. Second thoughts. Sorry

Sitting on front porch (with my tomato plant) finishing a "review" of Righteous Gemstones, watching people walk by with their dogs, and this brings me joy--the happiness, in its most pure and real form, in these canine guys and dolls, just walking down the sidewalk. Except a guy who just walked...

This little puzzle popped up on my device. I'd like to think my brain is on the younger side, but I'm stumped. Maybe it's all that aluminum I've put on my underarm spaces over the years. Oh well.

I always thought I mostly understood tides, but I just watched Neal deGrasse Tyson on the you tube, and it turns out I had it ass-backwards. The water doesn't move at all! Cool! Thanks, Professor NdGT :)

in case anyone else needs cheering up, this story, from PBS newshour, just popped up on my feed:

Not that i imagine anyone would be remotely interested, but I was kind of jazzed--today, for the first time, I made a tomato! Well, I guess Jebus made it. But I planted it!

Been reading screenplays, with an eye on formatting. And noticed that, uniquely, in No Country for Old Men, the Cohens dispense altogether with INTS and EXTS and - days and - nights. They, of course, by now don't have to sell anything to anyone, and know exactly what they are doing, so this...

Thanks, Bazooka Joe

Next sequence. Just sharing, for anyone interested. Still, it seems, grinding through exposition. Anyway. Previously: A wedding, between young Ernst August, one of the co-reigning Dukes of Weimar, and Elenore Wilhelmine, the sister of Prince Leopold of Kothen, in which Leopold hears Sebastian...

Here is the fist page of my one polished screenplay. It's gone through many many tweaks and this, finally, seems right. https://www.keepandshare.com/doc30/114597/mts-open2-pdf-30k?da=y Mars.
