It’s a cute snore. I’m sitting here watching Gus Hanson about to win his third WPT championship with Bilbo in my lap. Bilbo is the name of the little laptop. I guess it would be safe to say that Mel and I collect computers. Bugsy and Gollum sit on her desk. Snape and Smeagol sit on mine. The Kurgen sits on a shelf in my closet and Little Princess is still sitting in the middle of our bedroom floor. I keep thinking I’m gonna reformat Little Princess and turn her into a Hardware Firewall but I’ve yet to start that little time sink.
I know I’m restless. I think I’m grumpy. I’ve written about 30 pages on “Narcosis” and I should go further but I’m feeling a pull toward a couple of spec ideas. Dean has another three weeks before he returns to the show so the plan is to solidfy the new “Thunder” outline. One of us will then pound out a rough draft. I’m thinking it will be me although it’s clearly his freaking turn. There will be plenty of work on “Demonik” but with a 2006 release date I don’t expect to be pressured for quite some time. I’m playing around with “Magnus” based on the comic book for Branded Entertainment but that’s a development gig and won’t go to script form for quite some time if it does at all.
So, the question is, what should I be working on? Narcosis yes, but I need a couple projects to bounce back and forth. Thunder? Maybe one of my new ideas? Yes. New ideas. That’s what I should do tomorrow. I should brainstorm. I think it’s time for a new Toddly spec. Just me and the darkness of my dungeon office.
Funk. That’s what I’m in. A funk. I hit the funk numerous times a year. It only lasts a few days but I’ve never been a fan of the funk.
Mel’s talking in her sleep now. She just said, “The wolves are coming.” Most would assume I should wake her. That she’s having a bad dream. But one should never try to second guess the mind of Melanie and how it effects the fragile stability of the Universe. If I wake her now there’s a very strong chance that Jupiter could explode, Bigfoot could knock on the door wanting to use the phone and Canada could invade Alaska. I think I let her sleep and fight her wolfy battles. Believe me. We’re all safer that way.
Goodnight heroes.
