I've Got My Blog On You!

I'll be honest about this:

Now that my Mac is gone, I have absolutely no idea what movie quotes I've already used as Blog Titles and which ones I haven't. Cause without my Mac's special ability to save the old text I've entered in that box, and without the energy to look through my old posts, I'm completely screwed.

Beyond that bit, nothing new or impressive in the world. Still jobless; still unloved. I met with an alum today for drinks (NON-ALCOHOLIC-) and we chitter-chattered about the industry more. It's coming to my attention more and more that I should be writing (a screenplay, not my blog), but I just can't seem to bring myself to do it. The energy and utter fail waiting in the wings just stalls me out each time.

My current situation is this plague of a screenplay idea, where the main character ends up joining this insane sports league that no human being should ever be part of. And the trick is, I have to determine a NEED. WHY would this guy get involved with a sport like this? I've made a list of reasons why, and so far, they're all total crap. Because the true answer is, HE WOULDN'T. HE'D GO HOME, SIT ON THE COUCH, AND WATCH LENO AT 10.

But wow, that's a terrible twist for the screenplay. So in order to give the audience what it wants, this guy's gotta decide to join the league. And that means *I* gotta figure out why.

You guys should stop being so demanding.
