Write What You Know... or Just Fake It... Who's Gonna Know, Eh?

Why, yes, I'm sleepy... why do you ask?

Well, it has been a difficult, weird week, which I will now go into here, in excruciatingly tedious detail....

Kidding.

See, it's April Fools Day today... so, yeah, I pranked you by threatening to unleash a tsunami of personal minutia upon you, when all you did was pop in here to read some fart jokes, right?

You can relax, I'll pretend all is well!

Here come the fart jokes!!!

Kidding again.

Yeah, I'm tricksy like that. Double-pranked. Don't you feel foolish?

I know what you're thinking... "Will Dave try the nearly-impossible triple-prank on me?"

Answer: No.

I'm a tool... but not THAT big a tool...

Trying to decide if I should play hookie from Acting Class on Thursday Night and instead go to the Captain America Double Feature at the local cinema... I haven't seen the first one, so they'd both be new to me. The second one is getting stellar reviews so far, from what I've seen. In fact, my favorite YouTube movie reviewer Jeremy Jahns gave it this year's first "AWESOMETACULAR" rating... which is, of course, his highest accolade...

I invited a good friend from church (Lloyd! You are The Man!), but now I'm having doubts about going... not because of Lloyd (who is The Man, by the way...), but because my attendance record at acting class is perfect! For just over a year now! Heck, I've gone to class even more than Steve, our instructor! I've even showed up on two occasions when there wasn't even class! Once was a holiday, and the other Steve was sick and they couldn't find anyone to fill in for him... so I had class by myself and did improv the whole night!

Fine, I pranked you again... those that attend class with me may recall how thoroughly I despise doing the improv exercises in class. So, there...

All that to say, I may cancel out on Lloyd and risk the wrath of The Man... and go to class instead, like a good boy. We'll see...

And now, Alive, by Pearl Jam...



Dividing my time lately between script-writing and Minecraft... hey, two different types of "building", but both creative. I think I get credit for them both! Sometimes there's nothing that helps me unwind like working on my Creative Plot on the Epikcraft server, listening to music. Helps me take my mind off the various shades of nonsense I get pummeled with daily. Some of the nonsense is my own doing, some not. Either way, there it is. Minecraft is better for me than rum.

Although sometimes a little rum hits the spot as well...

All I'm saying is that I will be happy to be on the other side of Tax Day... man, I'm getting destroyed this year. But I have options. None of them fun. But, hey, who said being a grown-up was all sunshine and roses?

What am I reading, you ask? Well, let me tell you!!!1!

First, a fantasy novel (surprise!) by authoress Robin Hobb called Ship of Magic. It's a mammoth book (880 pages) and the first of a (completed) trilogy called the Liveship Traders Trilogy... she focuses on characters almost entirely for the first 20% of the book, with very little that actually happens... didn't think I'd stick with it very long under those circumstances, but actually, the characters are quite interesting, so I'm plugging along. Perhaps a book review will follow, when I've meandered across the final page...

The other book I'm reading is called The Master of Disguise: My Secret Life in the CIA by Antonio Mendez. It's a non-fiction retrospective written by a dude who used to be a CIA guy... it's part of my research for the web series. Man, I've bought a lot of books for the project... I wonder if they're tax deductible, lol... never even thought about it... I should ask my tax guy... I've bought books on test pilots, WW2 flying aces, spycraft stuff, space-military stuff, private investigator stuff, and a book called "Spy the Lie", about techniques to tell if someone is lying to you...

"Write What You Know", right? Isn't that the saying? And if you don't know it, learn it and THEN write it!

That "math doodler chick" is back, with a new video rant about how PI is over-rated...

Take a look, eh!



I still think her video on Fibonacci Numbers is my fave of her series...

The past couple posts have gotten no comments! I feel so unloved! If you leave a comment on this post, I'll love you forever! Alright, fine, I went a bit overboard there... leave a comment and I'll greatly appreciate it...

There, how's that?

Adios for now.
