Chime

Dime.

Much better

I like this new mix-tape much better so far... And I'm now done with the last few pages of Act I in my script. They're readable. Hurrah.

Loose Ends

I was reading down the blog and I noticed a post of Gabe's that I hadn't read before. It's about Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums list.

How did Rolling Stone compile the list anyway? What media?

I dunno how they compiled the list. I'm sure the staff put it together though.
The 'media' comment was just me being my bitter old self. The media, such as Rolling Stone, has never been very good at determining the best of the best when it comes to works of art (like albums).

Sorry, I didn't notice that post dude. I wasn't ignoring it.

Also, that list of songs in The Ballad of John and Yorke is a mix tape of Radiohead and Beatles songs. I thought you'd notice that by the title and that little quote before the list, but now you know for sure.

So I put together a rough mixtape, and I don't know if I like it. Some of it works, some of it doesn't.

*sigh* So does that make this Mixer's Block?

Writer's Block II

Unfortunately I haven't gotten past mine! I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the pressure of having to turn in the whole thing by next week. I don't know. I'm sure it also has to do with the little time I've actually worked on it.

Mix tape madness? Alright!

Writer's block

So Bob finally posted the lowdown on this year’s Mix Madness. Personally, I’m excited. If every one of the Hey Mercedes guys is going to be making mix tapes this time around then I’m going to send in one for sure.

I got past my writers block yesterday by the way… Thankfully I managed to write up nearly all of the sequence I was hoping for. I’ve still got some touch-up work between today and tomorrow, but it won’t be difficult. At least, I hope not.

Fight!

I’m stuck writing the final installment in Act I for my screenplay. And so far it isn’t going too well. I’ve got some solid stuff down on paper, that’s for sure. But I’m generally having a hard time getting the entire scene figured out. Part of me wants it to be quick and off the cuff, while at the same time structured. (Sort of like the fight scenes in Minority Report) Yet another part of me is simply terrified of writing a horrible action sequence. My script isn’t action heavy, and I don’t want this sudden scene to be cheesy or outlandish. But it kind of needs to be off the hilt. Do you know what I mean?

I’ll figure it out, I’m sure. I just need to get in the right mindset.

I’ve also got two very important math tests coming up and I want to be prepared for them. I’ll do just fine with the math though. All of the homework and study in that class makes reviewing for these tests more of a precautionary act then a necessity.

Keep an eye out on the Wire today for Bob to post the rules for this year’s Mix Madness.

If I can get these last few pages pounded out, then I’ll put together a mix tape.

See ya!
