So I suck at this...

I am more a talker than a blogger, I guess. I think of things to blog about then think, "Naa not really interesting." This blogging thing- do I just ramble on? Try and entertain? Just be myself? I guess a little of all of that. So I'll just start typing. I have been alone in my apartment for 48 hours. Well I left once to unsuccessfuly scour Jefferson City for a couple DVDs. I went to 3 places looking for sex, lies and videotape and/or Funny Ha Ha. No luck. Although Target does have an IFC indies section that was impressive. Go Target. I did purchase a headphone dealy for my cell phone that doesn't work very well. I should take that back to Best Buy- if I ever leave my couch again. My roomate (for the last 7 months) is visiting her family and she took my nephew puppy (of 1 month) with her. So, having the apartment to myself has been so nice. All pj's and junk food and napping and up till 2am. And aside from one of the days being that awful holiday that celebrates something that doesn't exist (at least not for me) I'm having a nice hibernation. I do this sometimes. Especially after I've had a stressful few weeks- I just have to totally veg. I cleaned out my DVR. Anyone else watch Nip/Tuck? Not lovin this season. Not gonna watch the Animal Planet dog training shows till they get home- that English chick is pretty cool. Anyway. I wanted to watch those particular movies because I came back from Sundance this year with an idea for a film. I have done this before. This year was my 7th time in Park City for "film mecca". Ten years ago was the first time I went. In 2000, I had just graduated college and was clueless about my future. Hopefully clueless. Now 10 years later, I have been working in film the entire time. Learning, listening, getting inspired. Heck I even taught a class on The Business of Film last semester. But, but I'm still not doing what I want to be doing. Actually creating product. Developing. That is my favorite part. I have worked with several projects in the last 10 years, but not one of my own since 2002. So I'm putting all this in writing because I want to work on this newest inspiration. I don't fancy myself a writer. I have worked with writers with varying levels of success. This one I'm gonna take a stab at myself. I just need to work on it. Start typing. Wish me luck. I'll keep you posted.
