Job hunt still going.
I've plotted out an idea for a screenplay I want to start writing. I figure with the time I have off, I should start working on something. Something of my own.
If I push myself, maybe I can get something finished. Problem is, I really like sleeping.
Been doing a lot of that the last week and a half.
I Googled myself and found that YahooTV has updated my profile. I don't know who they have researching all that stuff, but it's cool to see that someone is keeping tabs on you. Of course, they have my birthdate as November 30, 1999. Guess I'm pretty productive for a seven year old.
Read an old article about a research study that discovered that sunlight deprivation shrinks mice's brains. I was trying to find out if there were links between my recent case of severe depression and my working overnights for the last year and a half. Interesting.
Someone on MySpace linked to website that gives the number one song for any day you want to look up. The gimmick is that the number one song on your 18th birthday is supposed to be the song of your life. I'm not sure if Mr. Big's "To Be With You" define's my life per se, but it's fun to look up what was the hit at certain times in your life. It's useless and random, but I like knowing that Terry Jacks' "Seasons In The Sun" ruled the airwaves the day I was born.
Met this girl Rachel at a party the other night who is a published writer. She has a short story collection out and just finished her novel. I picked her brain about the life of a writer and pitching to book editors and agents. Told her about my New Orleans novel and how I'm restructuring it as a memoir. She says that's the new trend for books and that it was a good idea to do it that way. Her husband and I talked about comic books and how the porn industry dictates which distribution format is gonna be the next big thing. (They were the first industry to fully embrace VHS, then DVD, and now they're all about HDDVD. Sorry BluRay.)
Aside from these things and sending out my resume, though, most of my time is spent sleeping and watching TV.
Ah, freelancing...

Well, you could teach English in Japan and have a decent balance of time and money, so as not to starve, and not to be so overworked you lose 10 pounds. (either way can be a good diet plan) I've gotten way more writing done here than I ever had. I don't know; just an idea. Take it easy. (umm... well, don't take it too easy. ha ha)
