The New Place

As I get busier, I tend to blog less and less yet I'm still here, dear blog. Let me tell you the latest.

I've moved into the new place and I'm living in Baltimore City for the first time ever. It only took, ohh, 20 years! One week in and the place is just beginning to feel like home. It was a pain to hang up the curtains; those walls didn't want to get drilled, but I got the job done. I'm in the middle of it all, in the heart of Charles Village right across from the Baltimore Museum of Art and the John Hopkins Homewood Campus. Here are some pics of my new surroundings:











(Blah. I should resize the Iphone pics but I can't be bothered right now)

The place is small but it does have a certain charm to it. I don't have a kitchen, more or less, but it's like I'm glad I don't have to upkeep a larger place. The one thing that's majorly sucking right now is that I don't have broadband access, but Comcast says they'll come on Thursday and drill a hole in the wall and get me some. Hurray!

Pre-production on 'The Waterboard' is coming along well. Actors, location, and props are falling into place. It's amazing the strange stuff you can track down thru Craigslist and Ebay--that's what I'll answer to folks when they ask where the hell they can find a dog skeleton. We're shooting in less than 3 weeks. In fact, I'm giving the script a third re-write today; just a tweak really.

School started last week, and I'm currently working only part-time. That was a good decision as the two extra days I get per week for the film and school are already coming in handy. I applied for graduation online this past Sunday: Thursday, December 17th is the big day. Man, that's in three months. And time is flying fast. But it's going to be an awesome day.

I've not been watching movies much lately, or getting into new music. I'm just in 'the zone' getting ready for the film shoot ahead. I did pickup the new PC game 'Spore' and have spent some hours 'creating life from scratch, evolving it, and raising it to the stars'. It's truly a game of very ambitious breadth; very engrossing (if somewhat simplified in gameplay). But I can't let it suck me in too much--I've got responsibilities.

And, talking about those responsibilities, time to log off and get on that script rewrite. That is all for now, little blog. Will try and keep you updated more regularly... as soon as they drill that hole in my wall and get me that darn cable connection. I'm such a 'wired' person and I miss being online at home.
