Going back

Well, school is going to be starting soon. Am I ready to go back? I think so; at least I hope so. I’ve really put this summer to good use though. We shot a plethora of films and attended a slew of mixer events in support of those films. And each time around, I enjoyed the ride immensely. I should note that it’s not over yet…Monday night Gabe and I still need to go to the drama mixer and find out if we won any awards. Gabe and Josh have a very positive outlook in this regard, but I just can’t muster up any hope. I’m really just going for the people behind the event. Moreover, because Josh is out of town Gabe and I need to fill in the MOC presence (even though it won’t be the same), and of course, I’m going for Marco.

It’s about 12 o’clock as I write this, but I’m not tired. I think I’ve gradually begun switching my days for nights. Agent 1988 (my brother Parker) commented on this rather acutely: “You’ve become a vampire”. This is because of a couple of reasons; (1) it is far easier to write when everyone else is in bed. And (2) I don’t want to miss Cowboy Bebop. Things are quiet tonight however. Cowboy Bebop isn’t on Thursdays, and I’m giving myself a break before I delve into anything new.
It’s not a long break mind you. I have to begin soon anyway. Why, you might ask? There are a few ideas that could possibly take place in the Boston locale, and I must construct them while Josh is still over there for some minor location scouting/suggestions. I know one thing for sure; I want the setting for one story to be an underground subway or a city transportation of some sort.

And suddenly, I have a hankering for fireworks. I remember when they were quite abundant among my brothers and Alex. Now? I have to settle for posting this festering pentameter.

And you got a SoCal vacation, and you finished your screenplay. I'd say a very good summer.

I think you could get a lot of mileage out of some Boston locations. It could be about anything, and shooting it around the city and in the subways would only enhance it.
