The Weekend

Okay, the new employee at mom's store? Is quiet. Yeesh! Very, very quiet. When I'm working with someone new who's really quiet? I babble.

Movie Dictator Night

It works better to have a theme when you can utilize it. Sadly, the video store decided to thwart that. Even worse, now I have to find a new video store, because mine? Going out of business. I hate Blockbuster! I don't want to go there!

Movies watched: 3.
Laughing done: lots.

Deep Blue Sea is quiet possibly the best bad movie I've seen in ages. bubblesbrnaid is fabulous for introducing me to this. Must. Own. LL Cool J rocks as the only likable person in the whole bad ass shark movie. Love him! Seriously, great movie. Any movie that takes itself seriously while having questionable science, questionable dialouge, extremely questionable acting, cliches all over the place, and hysterically funny non-funny moments...really worth it.

An Ideal Husband was from my library (mostly because, when looking at my movies, I realized that I have lots of serious, plodding movies - must remedy).

The Haunting was the third choice and...okay, we're obsessed with the house. And can I say that I kind of liked it? The movie. Yeah, the plot was very, very iffy, but the actors were fun. Plus Lili Taylor! And Liam Neeson! And a giant fireplace and scary cherubs.

Elliott Sadler, Star Wars Geek

I haven't seen Revenge of the Sith yet (due to my dad, but I give up as of this weekend - either he goes with me Friday night/Sunday, or I'm seeing it alone), but...see, reading what Elliott had to say, I know exactly how I'll feel about it. LOL See, I have special effects issues.

But...Ellyut saw it the day it came out. LOL He is SO one of the fannish types. bubblesbrnaid, your boy is a good one.

Trying to be good

My problem with writing original fiction is that I get an idea, I start brainstorming it, working out the plot and the characters, outline...and then I'm done. Not done done, but I'm at a stage where I lack the initiative to really get in there and write. bubblesbrnaid told me I'm overthinking it...and lordy if Saturday night at 2 am I didn't start thinking of *another* story.

I'm refusing to outline. I keep telling myself that if I outline, the idea will die. I've done a little research (actually, watching a movie inspired the research, which inspired the desire to watch more movies in the genre and...yeah, the story came from that).

*sigh*

So I'm sitting and writing. Going to break my pattern and actually *write*. I've got the main character in my head (it starts with the idea or the character...this time the idea came first, then the realization of who the character had to be). I base characters in many ways on the appearance of who a celebrity *might* be (since they present certain sides to the media that aren't necessarily them). Going with that.

So, back to work so, if I get done with my list this afternoon, I can sit down and write.

I ganked this one from bubblesbrnaid and just had to because...well, number one says it all. *rolls*
