Music: Back in Black by AC/DC
It occurs to me as I read my gf's favorite book that I've wanted to write some science fiction of my own. After all didn't I inspire my senior year of h.s. English teacher to want to be my agent when I became a writer? Wasn't that part of the point of starting this blog: to spin ideas, rough drafts, fantastic ideas into something I could use as the basis for a genuine story. My trouble comes in finding something that strikes me as being truly original. I doubt myself in my ability to create something truly new and groundbreaking that people would actually stand up and take notice. I mean Dan Brown beat me to the punch w/ the Da Vinci Code. Isn't that what I would have done had I written Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? I keep telling myself that I'm gonna write a King Arthur epic poem, but all the research I want to do to make it the most loyal to both history and the fantastic is a lifelong project. I want to write the ultimate werewolf story, but that never seems to happen. It's easier to come up w/ premises than the actual story sometimes. Transformers from the beginning: nevermind, the comics are doing it now. An original Star Wars story for a television series? Cartoon Network got the shorts. The D&D movie premise? Well, I could flesh that out, but what are the chances someone from the movie production would actually see it? There's got to be something out there. It's just a matter of finding it, and putting it down. It will come. If you dream it...

Music: The Irish Washer Woman (I was just practicing it)
Where to begin. I just mean this to be a morning pages so I'm just going to ramble on and on again like I used to do. Hope this doesn't bother anyone but I just mean to keep on typing until time runs out or I reach a satisfactory length of typing. That's the way it is so :PPPPP. Okay, that's not exatly words its an extended emoticon, but so what. What are you going to do about it. Like you even care. Why am I even giving an attitude to something that few if any ppl are going to read. Shame on me for using ppl as an abbreviation for people when I need to type stuff out full length if I'm going to have a satisfactory length to this writing in the first place. The idea is to just get me writing in the first place. blah blah blah yackety schmackety have a nice tall cool glass of OJ. I miss that show. Taxmania. A welcome to a land that's way under down under. The sky's always blue come rain or shine. Come to Tazmania. Come to Tazmania. So what else are people watching these days. I've been watching Charmed, Angel, Monster Garage, Monster House, and Trading Spaces, but most of those are in reruns right now. I miss having the SciFi channel, but sinced it switched places w/ the Hallmark channel its only available w/ Comcast's digital package and we don't feel like shelling out the extra bucks for digital. If it wasn't for that we'd mostly be happy w/ what we've got. Okay, still going, nothing outlasts the Energizer. Gee! I'm just full of TV references this morning. Think I watch too much? Nah. Of course, not. I've still got Isaac's Tuna.... or do I? I liked the paranoia demon on Angel last night. It was a rerun, but a rerun that I hadn't seen. The origin of the hotel where Angel investigations was basing its operations. Was a cool flash from Angel's past. *YAWN!* Okay, sorry to interupt w/ biological functions but as they go that's not so rude unless someone else was doing the typing. Okay, don't mind me if you're reading this. Like I said I'm just prattling on as if I had something to say, which for some reason this morning I don't but that's hardly unusual is it? I mean, I'm usually fairly quiet at the pub. Not too much reason to go babbling. Matt and Andrew usually have the most interesting things to say. At least politically, philosophically or whatnot, which isn't to disrespect what anyone else has to put forth, just okay. I've put my foot in my mouth and that's as far as it needs to go. Hey! Isn't that why I stopped doing this thing in the first place. I just need to shut up, but apparently I can't so blah. Um, maybe I should talk about the Guild reunion picnic that I've been "organizing". That's a compliment to myself as I've mostly been letting volunteers do all the hard parts. I need to do something to show my appreciation to them for that. Certainly they deserve it. Okay, not there yet, but I've certainly made some progress. I dunno, would Marion be proud of it. That reminds me, I need to call Mary. She called me back yesterday about the game. She missed the last one, but I could still use her for the story coming up. I wonder if she'd be willing to play the part I needed Taryn to play. She can make up her own background of course, but I'll plead w/ her if she's still willing to join my game. We'll see how that goes. She and Jeff still haven't joined the Yahoo group for the game. I need to get on both of their cases. I hope Jeff comes back for the next game session. Its going to be Angela's game this weekend anyway so I need to do some more writing for that later on today. We'll see how that goes. I need to clean out my car, get the CDs and shoes put away. Just so much to do. I want to go back to the gym and to Dance Masters today. I need to find out my schedule at work for next week so I can schedule a flying lesson. I still have to wait to renew my medical before I can solo, and then its just the next calm day that I can go up before I finally solo. Oh! Its been a LONG time coming and I'm so excited about it. I just don't know what's next in the learning process. Just soloing has become a goal in and of itself that I don't know where I will be going from here except on the next step towards getting my license. After that if not before I also need to figure out how to get my seaplane license. That might require moving unfortunately. That could be a problem in and of itself. I'm still waiting for the IRS to come through. Meanwhile taxes are coming up and they'll take a chunk right back out of me. Okay, that's enough.

Mood: slightly anctious
Music: the menu music to Neil Gaiman's NEVERWHERE DVD (if you can call that droning music)
As I have not written anything in some time it seemed due that I should do so. The following is simply some ideas that have been tossed around by Heath, myself and a few others. It had been brought up that a sequel to the Dungeons & Dragons movie is in the works. Here's some ideas as to what we might do if we were to write it:
Heath had suggested keeping Jeremy Irons and the actor who played the evil fighter from the first movie around for the second recognizing that while their acting was horrible in the first film he knows that they CAN act if given the chance to do so. He also suggested a cameo appearance by Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
For the opening credits I'd have the camera extremely close-up on dice as they roll across a table revealing the credits in their wake as if the dice stamped them onto the table. As the pan continues it would reveal such other sundry items on the table as pencils, game books, notebooks, character record sheets, hex maps, miniatures, DM's screen, ninja notes, pizza, Mountain Dew, chips, pretzels, and other snacks, and stacks of magazines of Dungeon, Dragon and Heavy Metal. A new camera pan would scroll across a bookshelf full of fantasy and scifi novels, and another would show some movie like Monty Python, Star Wars, Ghostbusters or some other appropriate movie on the nearby tv.
Other cameo apearances in the movie should include Gary Gygax and Dave Arnsison, Steve Jackson, Mark Rein-Hagen, and Mike Pondsmith.
The movie should consist of two parallel stories: one following a group of role-players and how they deal w/ the issues they face in everyday life; and the other being the fantasy story imagined by the players. The movie should be very tongue-in-cheek with lines dished out like Bill Murray in Ghostbusters. Mutlitple movie references should include MOnty Python, Star Wars, the Princess Bride, Conan, Aliens, the Terminator, etc. It should not take itself seriously, and yet it should do for role-players what Clerks and the Jersey oeuvre did for comic book afficianados.
Heath has suggested that the fantasy story have a simple plot like rescue the princess or something like that. I think it at least needs a proper dungeon crawl. The penultimate villain should be a dragon of course, but that shouln't be revealed until the third movie according to Heath. Possibly that dragon would be Tiamat.
I suggested that in the fantasy element live-action be meshed with the occasional random old-fashioned cell animation thrown in: perhaps of the original Dungeons & Dragons cartoon characters + images from the original D&D books, and perhaps one roto-scoping drive-by image perhaps from the original Heavy Metal movie or Wizards.
A trip to a gaming convention should yield an encounter w/ Elmore.
Yoda and Darth Vader should cameo in the fantasy element as if they were actors w/ some one-liner a la "Amateurs," or "Oh, shit! There goes the planet."
The soundtrack should include Howard Shore spoofing his own LotR score, loads of Queen, some KISS, Black Sabbath or Ozzy, various other metal and goth (bloodletting by Concrete Blonde comes to mind), Monty Python of course, Weezer's In the garage, some filk, and perhaps the Dungeons & Dragons bit by the Drunk Alewives most often heard on Dr. Demento.
Confrontations with the mother figure should occur in the players half of the story a la Detroit Rock City with satan-worshipping controversies covered.
I may add more to this later. Feel free to offer me suggestions.

I hadn't posted anything in a few days and missed a few times when I'd intended too. Anyway, not really interested in saying anything, just that I'm still heree and have not dropped this thing, even though some people seem to think that I'd intended to drop something else entirely. hmph.

Music: KISS's Detroit Rock City sndtrk
It was just comething I wanted to test out w/ the new DVD player, but this movie I related to far too well. Maybe its because I was five in 1978 and can remember what was happening back then. I was never really a KISS fan until I saw this, and they were one of the best rock concerts that I have ever seen, but my interest in them was rather faddy I must confess. Still, this movie is hilarious once in a while. :)

Music: The Crystal Method
Wow! New blog, new possibilities? Can't tell so far, but my mind's not really awake yet. I was up til four A.M. this morning reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I finished the denouement this morning after I woke up at about 9:30. There was some things I wanted to see that didn't happen, but otherwise it was a good book. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't read it yet, so i won't dwell on it. I've got erands I have to run today like the bank, take care of insurance, maybe even cell phone and car windshield being fixed. Until next time.

Music: The Chieftains
Today marked a return to a more routine schedule at work. I opened serving chicken and made my usual fetching of the Richmond Restaurant order. I got just about all of the cole slaw packaged and read the latest Harry potter on my breaks. Still, the convenience checks taht are going to get me back up in the air did not arrive yet. I'm anctious. I SO want to fly again. Tonight the History Channel is doing a show on the lives of superheroes. I'm looking forward to that. Why taht's history, I don't know, but it should be fun to watch ne'ertheless. I'm still debating whether to go back to Taryn's tonight to fetch my viola or no. Its rather difficult to practice it without it. Like I practice in the first place. :P ;)

Music: Saphire: the Uppity Blues Women
The music selection that I'm listening to right now is something that Mom lent to me. She described it as raunchy, but it seems fairly normal to me. It sounds like three ladies having fun making music. *shrug* maybe they've got some attitude, but I'm not sure I'd call them raunchy, but then again I haven't been paying that close of attention to the CD. I was trying to order a custom Bob Dylan CD, but the web site seems to have had some trouble. I'll have to try again later. That seemed like such a neat concept, being able to custome mix a CD to order yourself. Why didn't they think of this sooner?! Or how come I'm only hearing of it now?

Music: Eddie From Ohio
Okay, soapbox time: I'm sitting here eating breakfast and turn on the "Hitler" Channel just out of habit and some guy I don't know is interviewing some astronaut I don't know. Apparently he's some hero in the astronaut world, but I don't know his story. Anyways, he makes this comment about how the only reason we beat the Soviets into space was because we're a democracy and they're communists. What a load of CROCK! Here's why this statement peeves me off: first off you're comparing apples and oranges. A democracy is a form of government, and communism is an economic system. Second off, the United States of America is NOT a true democracy. We are a Republic. If we were a democracy we would elect our officials directly. We do not. That's where the electoral college comes in. We as a people elect the electors of the president, senators, etc. The former Soviet Union ALSO happens to be a republic. That's what the R in U.S.S.R. stands for! Communism stands opposed to Capitalism. Those are the economic systems. Anyway, I know most of the people who actually read this probably understand this, but once in a while I need to fume about it.

...that didn't come from struggling through writer's block.
...about making up your own religion.
...that wasn't inspired by death, children, butterflies, fairies, or rainbows.
...that sounds like what rap should have been.
...that wakes me up to something new.
...for getting my mind out of that rut.
...that replaces coffee in the morning.
...that isn't a poem anymore. Its more. Its new. Its the next art form.

Music: Whip It by Devo
ok, five minutes ago I knew what i wanted to type about, but here I am with a big ol' blank. I'm still trying to figure out what to cook for dinner tomorrow night. I think I made a major faux pas in front of a friend who was having an awful night, and I guess I should apologize, but I don't know if he took it personally or realized that we were just being us. Obviously this mad ramble is deliberately vague, but if the relevent individual reads this he should probably be able to figure out what I'm talking about. I was a lil insensitive. I know you were having a rough night, and I probably wasn't much help. I'm sorry. Later.

Music: the Essential Bob Dylan
Oh! the depressing matter of cleaning up my room. A project left undone since I moved back home. Having too much stuff does not help the matter any. I'm sure John Y. is singing Dave Brocki (sp?) by this point but the fact remains that I need to find another place for my stuff. So towrads that end I went price shopping for storage space. I looked at the Blue & Gray stoage and Genito mini storage so far. Gonna check out the one Edy's old farm near Huguenot Rd. soon before I decide which one I want to use. All this is pressed by the point taht Mom and Da intend to remodel their bathrrom and so they intend to take over mine and Craig's. That means that he and I will finally have to move out. Trouble is I have to wait for the inheritance to come through before I can do so. So much to do ahead and I don't like a minute of it. I'm sure some cameraderie will come in handy. :)

Music: Fantasy a 4 the "Great Basse" by Orlando Gibbons and Julia Hodgson
I came home from a busy day at work to find Dad home, which was a bit of a surprize as I expected him to be home sometime late tonight from his business trip. Not an unpleasant one. *shrug* Another package arrived today. *teehee* And my mind is just not feeling very creative right now, which is what I want it to be. maybe I should start writing this thing after I've had a good refreshing nap. Who am I kidding around here a nap is bound to be interrupted in some unfortunate fashion making the point of taking it before writing mute. I'm hoping to spend tomorrow doing some new home hunting. I have no clue where to begin. Maybe I should ask Dad for some tips. I know he's going right back on the road, but he has a cell phone, right? Okay, enough mindless meanderings. Til next time.

I have no clue where to begin. Maybe I should ask Dad for some tips. I know he's going right back on the road, but he has a cell phone, right? Okay, enough mindless meanderings. Til next time.

Mood: the party's over- Mom's home
Music: Mass of the Blessed Virgin by the Monastic Choir of the Abbey of Montserrat
Well, sometime last week i couldn't find my credit card, so I figured that I'd left it behind at a store. I called my bank, had it reported lost thereby cancelling it. What happens today?! I take my driver's license out to show it to the clerk at Best Buy and find the old credit card hiding back there. Why would I have put it back there? It doesn't go on that side of my wallet. I could have bought Taryn's BIG b-day present today it I hadn't cancelled my card already. I am SUCH a schmuck! *sigh*
Btw, any players of my upcoming Victorian Age: Sorcerer campaign- new books arrived today. Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID! *evil cackle*

Mood: mildly nervous energy(you know, that feeling at the start of the day that you want to do something, but you don't know what)
Music: Lionheart by Angels of Venice
According the the Gothic calendart today records the death of two important figures of history of mythic proportions: King Arthur and Joan d'Arc. Of Arthur's death at the battle of Camlan and his transport at the hands of the three women to Avalon I know a fair deal, my knowledge of joan's death on the pyre leaves something to be desired. She seems to becoming serendipitous as of late so mayhap its time to delve into her lore. I have books that certainly mention her, but she's something pretty much glossed over before moving on to the next subject. Whether she was Christian or pagan seems to be an issue of contention based on what text I read as well, and and issue of contention in her own life as well. Too many sources seem biased. How do i find the one that's not and know it?

Music: nevermind, not worth mentioning
So the pangs of hunger enter my consciousness, and I wonder why I'm still sitting here at the keyboard clicketing away at letters to put forth some semblance of a statement into the record of my day. Of course, i don't know of what sort of food for which it is that I crave, but I do know that its time to feed the cats as they so pointedly reminded me. At least it makes them more affectionate, e'en playful, but now I'm hungry too, and here I go.

Music: Finale from The Abyss sndtrk by Alan Silvestri
Of all the mornings to forget my allergy medication why did I have to do it on the morning I work in the chicken room? That breader is horrible on the sinouses! I spent the last two hours of my shift working and blowing my nose. No fun. At least I got my car tune-up taken care of. One less issue to worry about.

Music: The Masquerade Suite by Aram Khachaturian
So my mother and girlfriend got into a religious discussion last night and were worried that I'd be offended by their discussion. Oh! contrere, mon frere (sp?) Im usually rather intrigued by such discussions, even if I do disagree with both parties. Just because I disagree doesn't mean I'm going to be offended. Okay, a couple of things Mom said got me a lil offended, but it was about her wanting to convert me. As long as she stayed off of that subject it was interesting. Meanwhile, poor Dad is bored to tears over it. Needless to say, despite the fact that I'm an atheist and Taryn's Pagan I was rooting her on. It wasn't really a winner/looser debate though, it was more like an open forum, and that's what was good about it. I probably should have contrubuted more to it, but there was enough being thrown out to bother with a third P.O.V. Taryn seemed to be defending me at one point by saying that even those people who chosen to believe in nothing have at least chosen something to believe. I don't exactly believe in nothing per se. "We are each of us gods and goddesses unto ourselves" is something of a credo that I've developed. I'm not trying to deify myself, at least not in the literal sense. I'm not on some megalomanical kick here. Metaphorically we all should take on the responsibility to the world, our community, our ecosystem, each other as god(desse)s. I grant you I'm hardly a good example of what I'm preaching here, but its an ideal by which to live. I think that psychologically people feel a need to believe in God/Goddess, or a pantheon of gods/goddesses because it takes responsibility away from the believer. "Take my sins away, God. you take it, not me." No, I say forgive yourself. Be responsible for your own sins, but work your way through the guilt, learn, and grow. That is what I believe is truly healthy.
