So, I just spent a week and a day--maybe 9 to 12 hours a day working on the videogame rewrite. The clients wound up staying an extra day. Though my head didn't explode, there was still more than enough stress and weariness.
They left today, very pleased with the work we'd done. We're pleased with the work we did, especially since we did so much...

That's a whole lot of working on the videogame! Hope your brain has gone back to it's correct consistencey by now.

You're good, you recognized them both! What are you wanting to do with Steve? He's a good friend and the coolest dude.
So, I'm currently sitting in the conference room of our building, with my laptop attached to the whoppin plasma TV screen on the wall. (SG pics looks HUGE on the big screen, I tell you, HUGE!)

Its tuesday, where are you!?
So, the weekend was pretty brisk. I have three writing projects in the hopper which meant half of Saturday was work and most of Sunday. In between I went to my good friend Mark's birthday party on Saturday night and closed the pub...again.
Then I got up five hours later to help my friend Kian move. Unfortunately the show he was working on was canceled,...

Okay I love this:
"Chasing your dreams is a scary thing. Those dreams always seem to turn on you and kick you in the head...but every so often, they smile, and give you a bowl of ice cream and some spirited oral sex! However, mostly it's getting kicked in the head."
Yeah the credit card thing was a huge weight on me for awhile. I finally paid them all off, now I pay the entire balance every month... so far I haven't had to float, but that definitely has made me think twice about giving up my secure career and taking a big risk pursuing a dream....
You are awesome to help your friend out.

I like being a nerd...it gives me a certain satisfaction. 
So, it's been a busy week. Just finished working a meeting with nine writers...and dammit if that doesn't take a lot of mental energy...I feel like a fraud sometimes...and occasionally confident other times. *sigh*
I saw Rasputina at the El Rey on Tuesday and they were wonderful. They just get better and better. Two women with cellos and a drummer. That's it. And they can...

If I haven't said it yet, thanks for saying hi. Nellie McKay is quite awesome, but most guys I know will not be convinced of this simple fact hehe. It's really hard to believe she's 19. I luff her.

Cranial Update: There is a zen-eibana arrangement on the floor by your oak rolltopdesk now. And someone left poppy petals strewn about the majestic foot of the marble statue of a satanic waterfowl. 
So, Steve McQueen kicked my ass.
No, not the dead actor, but the drink Daveunderthebed created. I believe it was 3 parts whisky, one part gin with a splash of tonic and lime juice. Now, I hate gin. It makes me pukey. Of course, after the amount I had drunk earlier...this seemed a perfectly rational thing to do. I had two of them. Perhaps I...

wow. that sounds like quite a night. i don't think i could handle steve mcqueen, though. whiskey and i are not good pals.
belllla:
I gotta move out west!
So, it's a holiday weekend...the past work week...the past two weeks actually have been rather...lame. The producers of both projects I'm in charge of haven't gotten back to me. It's the old, hurry up and wait, I'm afraid. However, it just makes me revert to listless, loser mode.
In the meanwhile, many late night phone calls continue to transmogrify into a twisting ocean of words...

Fore sight is impossible and hindsight is flawless. I fall into that damn pitfall of what if all the time. I actually spent the better half of college thriving in that trap of over anlyzation. Once yer down there its a bitch and 1/2 gettin' back up to the here and now...

That entry made complete sense. I've definately been in that fix myself a time or two. Good luck, Darlin. 
So, as I've said, previously to SG I was a member of David Lynch.com. I made many friends and created a short film based on the experience, but there is one special person I became dear friends with. ('Dear' is the lamest word possible, but how do you qualify those friends who mean more to you than anything? If Inuits have 35 words for 'snow'...

I do love friends. I love a lot of things, like cookies.

Yay! I'm happy for you. Everyone needs someone like that...now go get them!
Everyone needs someone like that...now go get them!So, last night I saw the Suicide Girls Burlesque show at the Knitting Factory. It was great fun and everyone I met was quite wonderful.
Now, I should make it clear that I'm a shy person by nature, so it takes a lot for me to provide the illusion of an outgoing, 'natural' human being, particularly in a large groups of people I don't know....

Yes, maudlin writers turned happy. *ponders* What the hell would they write about then?
So, Monday was busy as hell. Worked almost 10 hours, following up on all the E3 related stuff as well as a couple of new writing projects. Quite crazy.
In the interest of actually keeping a journal entry not only short for once, but also strangely free from angst and personal torment...here's a happy couplet from a favorite song:

Okay, I love the term "bitchslap"! It cracks me up!!! 
As does the name of one of your favorite bands.... forgive me, but Oingo Boingo is just a funny name. In the same genre as cous cous! Just cute and funny!
I DO like the band though.....
*I* would pay $ to see that movie!

Whats the name of your alt country group?
So, my E3 experience is more or less over. Thank god. The time capsule begins as follows:
WEDNESDAY:
--Head off to Universal Studios to drop my car off at the lot and then head with Mike, my fellow writing producer and friend to the subway stop.
--Take the subway downtown. 25 minutes later we head into convention center. Parking in around the center ranges from...
