Random recap

I've been somewhat blogged out lately.. I try to stay on theme with my time killing exploits. There haven't been too many new time killing events to report unless you want to count the 2-hour dental appointment I had last week..Dr F ran into a few problems and I threw him way off schedule.. I could just sense the back up in the waiting room. Everyone must have had to read the old People magazines and the pamphlets on gum disease.. I am not sure what he ran into with my mouth but he did hook me up with something similar to automotive jumper cables (honest). A new way to kill an afternoon - and THIS was just the dentist.. Wait until my yearly medical stuff starts soon.. Remember last year's human torpedo story? I need to revisit that MRI place soon.

My delicate world will be disrupted the next week or so as we have our bathroom re-model job starting tomorrow. The first step of demolition is always a crowd pleaser. I need to break out the dust mask and figure just how much I need to be involved in this process.."Can I hold the flashlight for you? Should I shut off the water? Where do we throw this old toilet?? Do you need help carrying this 350 lb iron tub"?? I guess being Mr. homebody will have its advantages. This project would normally burn a bunch of personal and vacation days.

I am starting to outline a screenplay idea which is beginning to take shape. I wonder how much time killing that will be? I have some good resources (writer friends) who I can turn to should I get stuck.. Yes, I've been stuck a few times already. I guess this has affected my blogging energy but I'm hoping to make some progress and see if it's worth reporting on. I think my biggest challenge is writing dialogue. That's new to me. I have been reviewing some of my favorite movies/writers for inspiration.

Last night I couldn't sleep and I watched Albert Brooks' "Lost in America". I kept thinking - I can do this. Or should I say: "I can do this. I can plagiarize!!"... (fade to new scene)...
