"It can't rain all the time." That my friends is a line from a movie called The Crow. Have you seen it? I felt it right to start off with that line since that's what I've been trying to tell myself since I've been home. It has literally rained everyday, at some point in the day, since I've been back in Georgetown. Can't say I'm complaining though. The rain serves as a nice combatant for the heat.
The summer has been long thus far (especially being at home without a job), but it has been a productive one nonetheless. I've watched so many films it's borderline ridiculous. That and I've been able to watch a few of the television series that come on t.v. One that I like in particular is Burn Notice. I'm not going to run through the plot but if you haven't seen it, I'd advise you to check it out. It comes on every Thursday at 9 on USA (and the Season 2 just started last week so you haven't missed much. Go online to burnnotice.usa.com to catch up). Another show that I dig is House. After being asked what I've been watching by my friend (who is a House fanatic) I decided to catch a few episodes of the marathon that was on yesterday on USA and found the show to be quite enjoyable. I might pick it up. Haunted and Ghost Hunters are two shows that I watch(ed) on the Sci-Fi channel. Again, I'm not going to run through the plots, but log onto Sci-Fi.com to check out a few episodes online or read a synopsis of the shows.
I've even been working on a few scripts of my own. My labtop is out of commission so I've had to write them long hand, but I don't mind, that much. I'm working on this piece on infidelity that's proving to be quite interesting. I'll just that hell isn't always what you expect it to be. On top of that, I've been brainstorming a few spec scripts for some of the television series that I've watched (along with a few of my own series...maybe in the future). All in all, I've obtained good practice on the art of writing scripts and writing in general. Tedious but worth it. One thing that has helped in my writing is that I've read a fair amount of books since I've been home. Two that I'm working on now are "Woody Allen" and the other "What Color was Jesus?" They are both remarkable books. Needless to say, no synopsis will be given here, but check them out for yourselves if you're curious. I'll probably be doing a write-up for "What Color was Jesus?" so look out for that. Not soon, but sometime. I think you'll be intrigued. Alright, I think that's enough about me and my summer, until next time.
Love
