cause real is boring?

Slashdot reported this NY Times article about a Government program to turn Scientists into Screenwriters (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/04/movies/04flyb.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5088&en=b35c2085878bcf51&ex=1280808000&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss) in a strange effort to brainwash american children into science careers. Amazed. Think the idea of scientists becoming effectual and successful screenwriters from scratch is perhaps less realistic than effort to convince existing, successful screenwriters to use realistic science. Also debatable is any effect on children ‘hard’ science in entertainment may actually have. But consider that may be where my own interest in science and math stems from. If there is anything that has shaped me it’s the warm glow of the radiation box, constant companion in most fond childhood memories.
Still sick, annoyingly so. Don’t feel BAD persay, just snifflies and sneezes and fluids of some sort. Fluids are never good. Well… I take that back. SOME fluids are never good. You can draw your own conclusion as to which fluids are in fact benificial on occasion. Most of you are adults anyway.
Still no wedding pictures. I am in teh exile apparently. Oh well, my heart breaks. Meanwhile I’ll go back to reading back issues of Denny O’Neill’s run on The Question. Man, 80’s dialogue is just never good. Comics, most movies, television, whatever. It makes my brain bleed.
Nickel and Dime will start moving again soon, I swear to god it will. Donnie Baker save us all. It will. Just finishing up my super insane outline, probably will forgo the notecards this round. I’m really jonesing to get through the draft. It’ll be weird, these new, underdeveloped structure muscles. I was telling Mr. Cyrus last night that coming from my background, which is character heavy, dialogue strong, story kinda incidential, that now it’s like writing with my non-dominent hand. Awkward and unsure. But I’m set on plowing through like this so I can make it second nature. Definitely see that’s neccessary, which I’m certain a few people told me years back and just went in one ear and out the other. I still feel horribly guilty for forcing my first script on anyone, much less one of my favorite film Profs. Sorry Dale.
Anyway, onward to learning, I’m obsessed with making this involuntary; I think that’s my key strategy at this point. Thoughts welcome.
