So yeah, I had to give notice at that ultra-boring temp job I was working. I tried to use the free time to write but it just didn’t really work that well. I did figure out exactly what I need to be writing and what the script I’m writing is, which is a definite achievement. Think “Jinx!” but more Jewish, more Gay, more 12 years old, more realistic, and more autobiographical. This is the first time that I feel like I’ve really taken a lot of time to figure out what direction I need to go in - writing from the heart rather than coming up with a clever story with a typical movie hook. It’s going to be a kind of episodic coming of age story, but one that twists all those tropes in a very me fashion.

Anyway, I know I’ve been a bit slow on posts, but I’m trying really hard to think of good unique things to write about, rather than just throwing up YouTubes out of laziness. I promise some really good worthwhile ways to waste time (aka blog posts) coming up very soon. Hooray for Unemployment!

PS. That amazing Fassbinder/Metallica Shirt I’m wearing in the picture above is from Cinefile Video in Los Angeles. I flipped out over these shirts when I was in LA, and had a friend go pick me up several styles:

They make the BEST Xmas present for your hardcore film nerd children. And coming soon, according to their website www.cinefilevideo.com : the Scorcese/Scorpions shirt. Cinefile Video is really awesome, and I’ll have more on them soon.

Later!
