Vacation
Going to the Cape for a week. It's an annual vacation we've been doing for seven years now. Looking forward to it. Figured I'd put together a list of interesting things going on. I sometimes like to confirm that I'm doing things of worth in my life.
-I just printed up the work-in-progress of my filmmaking book. I'm going to copy edit it in the coming week. I've yet to read the manuscript from beginning to end, and the prospect worries me. It just under 200 pages and it's about 2/3 complete. Just scanning the pages tells me it's going to be a lot of work. This is the book that began as blog entries earlier this year. Check out my earlier postings for a sneak peak.
-MAGDALENA'S BRAIN is chugging along. We should get our first quarterly report in October. I'm thinking I can retire with the first or second residual check.
-I start teaching in a couple of weeks -- both sections of the Scriptwriting course and an Advanced Production course at Westfield State College. I'll be at the school for full days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and full time at Veritech in between. Could be grueling.
-My new screenplay is coming along veerryy slowly. The second act is in sight, but it still needs a lot of work. Structurally, I think it will be my strongest work, and the characters and narrative are coming along, but I'm just not... "feeling it" quite yet. I plan to give it some time at the Cape.
-I burned the first test disc of THE WESTERN MASS HORROR SHOW yesterday. It's a short film compilation that I put together with some friends of mine. I acted as a producer on three of the four short films (the other was put together by Scott Kittredge [see post below. {Scott Kittredge}]), and I included some trailers to other films I've been involved with. We're going to be selling copies at October's Rock and Shock convention. Check out the Glowing Screen blog for more details.
-Warren and I are starting to discuss possible script ideas for what could be the next Glowing Screen production. We're both digging on time travel.
-I've become obsessed with transferring all of my MST3K episodes (I've got a few dozen) to DVD and creating custom artwork for the cases. Very exciting. Once I get a get them all done, I'll probably purchase available episodes tofill in holes.
-My birthday is in a couple of weeks. I expect to recive many Barnes & Noble gift certificates.
Wish me a happy birthday.
