glamjamI figured I should make a more normal post. :P
* My B.A. should really be in procrastination, since I seem to do more of that than actual *school work*. I should be finishing my reading for art history, but instead I'm typing this up and listening to the new Depeche Mode album. Oops!
* I'm currently reading Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film by Peter Biskind because Kevin Smith mentioned it on one of the early episodes of the SModcast. The book is really interesting and I'm learning a lot since I'm not that big of a film nut. I had no idea about how the various companies involved in making/distributing films interacted or about such things as "development hell" before and I always grin when one of the films I love is mentioned (Clerks, Velvet Goldmine, the Piano, Reservoir Dogs). The Weinsteins sure sound like bastards, though. D:
* I'm still plugging away on Summerwrite, but I'm not making the daily word counts yet. I don't really care since I'm at least getting something down. I'm sure the team I'm on isn't pleased about my word counts, though. :P I'm working on a new project, though. It's something that been congealing in my head for a couple of years - something initially inspired by watching the Young Ones too often and wishing there was something else similar to watch or read. Whatever I end up writing for it is going to be really rough since I don't have much planned out.
And now I think I'm going to watch an episode of House. I've been slacking off this season...
