It's been way too long since I've done a blog entry, which is rather disappointing. Life has been rather blah over the last few weeks and I haven't had much to update about. I took a week off a bit ago and got really sick...and just didn't feel coherent enough to do a significant blog entry. Time to make up for that...
Last night I hosted a dinner party at my place which was a huge success (or so I think). It was a four course meal with eight dishes...the twist was that the menu was written in sixteen different languages, resulting in mass confusion for those who were ordering (not to mention they also had to order their cutlery). I ended up having to eat a parfait with my fingers and watching Scott scoop goulash out of a bowl with another bowl. There was way too much food and by the fourth course everyone was stuffed...but I think overall everyone enjoyed it.

...we even wrote one out in braille, which was interesting. :-) I shall have to try that again sometime soon.
I've finally received The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, it came in the mail today. It doesn't actually get released until tomorrow - ah the joys of pre-ordering. I intend to watch it today, possibly multiple times. Yes, I am a geek. Accept it. I'm quite psyched about this movie...yay...
I've finally got my great original screenplay concept. It's still very much in the idea phase, but it hit me on Thursday like a tonne of bricks and now I can't get it out of my mind. I see flashes of images in my mind, little previews of what it could look like on film. Psyched, definitely. Here's a preview of the introduction:
NARRATOR
We're born, we live, we die. That's the cycle of life. Forget everything you've heard about the fountain of youth, eternal life - all that bullsh*t. Everyone dies. Trust me, you'll be better off just accepting it now, it makes things so much easier down the road.
The Egyptians had this crazy theory that when a person died their heart was weighed against the goddess Ma'at. They figured this determined whether the individual would be admitted into the afterlife - oblivious or blissful heaven. Those damned Egyptians knew way too much, if you ask me...but that was three thousand years ago...and we've done a little renovating since then...
It needs a lot of editing...but it's a start. As I said, it's still in the idea phase - hell I don't even have a name for my protagonist yet. That however will come in time. For now I'm just thrilled to have an idea. Damned Egyptians... :-)
Alright, this update has gone on for too long. It's almost noon (or 11:00 for those who are still stuck on daylight savings and can't sleep) and I need to feel productive today. Yay for a day off. Take care everyone...hugs all around.
"Your arms are my castle. Your heart is my sky. They wipe away tears that I cry. The good and the bad times, we've been through them before. You make me right when I fall..."
