Midnight, End of the World, Remember?

"Peanut Butter" or "I'm exhausted and have nothing to write about tonight," you decide...

I give you a hint... we're out of peanut butter. That can only mean one thing... this will be one of the most pathetic posts of the year, as I search desperately for enough semi-intriguing content to wedge a few movie quotes into, tuck my tail, and run away like the simpering pinhead that I am...

Well, here goes...

Christmas Script: The meeting tonight at church was productive. Liz had the "winning" idea, which has a lot going for it. It's simple, has few actors (6, to be exact), it's a good concept, and can easily be produced in the 7 weeks we have left. Sandi had a terrific idea that is much more elaborate, and will be modified for Easter, to give it the rehearsal time it will need. So we have Christmas and Easter both rolling! Yayzers!

Wow, that was dull... better sadly turn to an over-used standby and hope it's effective... A Funny Picture! Everyone loves a Funny Picture! Right?

Time to fire the contractor for the bathroom remodel... you know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment...

I'm getting a little angsty about the Novel I'm mere hours away from starting... I keep making rather substantial modifications... the good part is, I think the modifications to the plot are actually big steps in the right direction. The problem is, that feeling I get in my stomach that there are now conflicts I have yet to see as a result of the changes... I've put so much thought into the storyline(s) that I'm unsure the effects rather sizable changes will have as it ripples down the length of the story. Obviously, I can't go into details, without laying out so much text your head would spin. I guess in times like these, I'd love to have someone familiar with the project to bounce suggestions off of...

Well, ready or not, I'm going to go for it. The reason I'm nervous is that if I write myself into a corner, I'm not sure I'll have the patience to stop and find a way through. Ah, well, into the breech, I guess...

Dang, better throw a Funny T-shirt in here, to try and salvage things again...

Ugh. Deliver me from L.L. Bean. Well, there's nothing like a small truth printed large and loud, eh? It is truth, but truth is not always appearance. Speaking of NYC, I watched some of the Yankee/Philly game on Thursday - don't know who won, or even if they played again Friday (or had a travel day). You'd think someone that played 9 years of baseball growing up would have a better idea of what's going on in the MLB at the moment, but really, it's far from me. Same with football... If I stumble across a game on TV (on the rare occasion that I actually watch TV, that is...) I'll watch for a while. But I don't really have a "team" in any sport anymore... I don't care who's playing, if it's a good game, I will enjoy it and then never give it a thought again. Again, if you knew how obsessed I used to be about the Padres & Chargers (and baseball/football in general), that might seem like more of a substantial confession...

Dang, I better find a funny video...

Man, look at what I'm reduced to... it's funny, but depressing... well, there are other videos I would like to post, but they are ruined with a mumbled (or screamed) profanity, and I won't subject your pure brains to such an assault. One clip has a kid hitting a basketball with a baseball bat about the length of a full court, and sinking the shot. Amazing, but ruined with a profane exclamation. Another had a scene from Pulp Fiction that someone added a laugh track to. Very funny, but F-heavy. Another is a tree that leans into a powerline in a heavy wind, catches fire, and ends up exploding, knocking out power to the neighborhood. Awesome clip, but the crowd watching it was not a church youth group, if you catch my drift... Ah, well...

And for all these reasons, I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground...

I waited too long to figure out the costume I'm going to wear for Maggbert's party on Saturday. So I'm forced to wear the easiest costume I can find. Yep, I'm dressing as Lady Godiva. Here, lemme get my horse...

Everyone keeps asking where he bought his costume...

And with that sorry fizzle, I am out. I need sleep. Good luck, Bob and Krista. Let me remind you - even though you are reading this on Oct 31, this is technically the October 30th post. Which means there will be one more post after this one to grab quotes from. I hate to draw out the tension, but rules is rules...

Until tomorrow, remember, you're nuts if you think kidnapping me is going to help you cheat your way to the top...

PS Yay! My copy of Borderlands shipped today! I'm reading awesome things about it online...
