I still feel that every second of my life spent watching a television commercial is the most wasteful thing I could possibly be doing with my life. As such, I am going to continue my boycott of television. Since the beginning of the new year I have watched all of four hours of television, and most of that was PBS - but still. Aside from Frontline, I'm done with broadcast television.

Am reading God Emperor of Dune, the fourth book of the Dune Chronicles. Dear God in heaven the Dune Chronicles is amazing. Not only have I never encountered anything like it, anything of such awe-inspiring scope, but I've never imagined in my most wild of wild dreams something so intricate and huge.

Contemplating writing a screenplay for a movie about El Chupacabra, but am finding source material on this subject marginally lacking. Living in the South, however, it shouldn't be too hard to scrounge up some farmers who'd be more then happy to talk about their experiences with the Goat Sucker (that's a literal translation). But I can honestly envision upwards of twelve entirely different scripts I can derive from this one idea. I guess I'll just make a pitch to those agents I know and see what's up.

In other news I'm very tired. Will try to get to sleep soon, but don't see it happening - this despite the fact that I drank myself shitfaced for seven hours today in hopes that I WOULD be tired enough to get to bed a little early tonight. All it did was give me a fucking headache....go figure, when I want to get drunk I get sick, when I want to pass out I get drunk....fucking life, eh?
