Frisbee!

First day of writing on a new movie script I'm working on. Finished the second draft of "The Alpha Test" a week ago and took a week off to study like mad for a test at school. I came back pretty refreshed and ready to work on this new one for a month before tackling a shooting draft of "A.T." in December. This writing finds me nearing a complete story outline and with four scenes in the can. Yuppies...hippies...sports comedy...ultimate frisbee...twists and turns...improvised hilarity...

Pieces are there; now, the muse must strike. Will she be lip-synching "You've Gotta Have Boobs?"

I certainly think so...

I've been reading:

--A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
--Half Ass Jig by Chad A. Rinn (local novelist, Boise-dwellers, check it out!)
--Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word by Randall Kennedy
--The Glory of Living by Rebecca Gilman
--Comics and Sequential Art by Will Eisner
--The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King

I've been watching:

--Alias: Season 1 (Created by J.J. Abrams)
--Zathura (Directed by Jon Favreau; yes, THAT Jon Favreau...)
--Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (Directed by Adam McKay)

I've been listening to:

--The Captain and the Kid (Elton John)
--Soundrack to "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" (good music from a good movie...)
