Word on the street is that I've been working on a new writing en devour for two really classy dudes. Well, talk is cheap.
Music, however, is a bit more expensive. Really expensive actually. Quite frankly, the odds of us being able to license any music for this thing (it's a TV show) are slim to none. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of this thing called "fair use," but I'm not very familiar with legalese.
That hasn't stopped me from compiling a little playlist featuring songs that have inspired this project. With any luck, it should appear below this little update. If not, feel free to click the alternative link I provided.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to go much into the details, but episode one of our series is completely written and there's no turning back. My friend Steve Zissou once said, "I'm right on the edge, I don't know what comes next." I think that applies here, because while I have an overall idea where I want to take this bird, I don't this thing will be received. It has been a real challenge trying to filter all the ideas I have into something coherent and meaningful. I guess we'll see. Meanwhile, I fear the worst.
At any rate, in a move that will surely doom the project completely, I'd like everyone to listen to the music and offer their best guess as to what they think it's about. I'm not talking about a plot details here, but themes and subjects that will be tackled, etc. Odds are it will generate some huge expectations that I can only pray to make good on.
In other news, I received an interesting letter today. Remember how teachers would have you write a letter to yourself in the future? Well, it turns out that they do show up. It's quite awkward actually, because you realize how silly you were and continue to be.
This one was from my senior year in high school. Needless to say it was riddled with cryptic references to unrequited crushes, fatuous idealism, and grand aspirations. Most of it made me cringe as I read it, thinking of how awkward I used to be. One thing in the letter did garner my full attention, however. It read, "Lose some weight, fat ass."
Well, my past self, I've lost fifty pounds, thank you very much. I hope to lose even more with what's left of the summer. Special thanks go to everyone who has noticed my efforts. Your kind observances only help to motivate me. At least I can say I've been doing one thing right.
Well, that's all for now. Enjoy the music.
