Sunday morning randomocity

My dear friend Rox's dog has something wrong with one of his legs--it's a bone issue. At this point we don't know what it is, exactly--bone cancer or some sort of disease. Either way it's devastating to her financially. So, she's set up a Pay Pal account for contributions. If you've ever had a dog in your life your life you know what a terrible time this is--you can help by contributing, even a few dollars. Every little bit helps. The URL is https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=XUXJLZVA5FA6J if you need it. Thank you for any contribution you can make.

I'm probably 90 percent done with the first draft of a treatment for a TV show pilot. I'll probably finish it today, then start rewriting it. Treatments are sort of fun to do--it's like writing a script without actually writing a script. Sort of an outline on steroids. They give producers an idea of what the finished product will be like, so they can tell if it'd be worth investing in the project. It also gives the writer a chance to think through the project and identify and resolve any potential problems in the early stages of development, which is always easier than trying to resolve them at the actual scripting stage.

It's been a lazy weekend. I need to do some stuff to get ready for my impending move--I got a ton of stuff to get rid of, one way or another. The more crap I can eliminate from my life, the better off I'll be. I got rid of one of my cheaper guitars the other day by giving it to a co-worker whose son is thinking about learning to play. Gave him this cheap little amp, too. Kid has been having a rough time--he's started having seizures and nobody knows why. His mom told me he was delighted by the guitar, which does my heart good.

ABC Family is showing all the Harry Potter movies this weekend, so I'm set as far as television is concerned. I can just leave it there and mess around the house, sit down to watch a few minutes, and still know what's going on, since I"ve seen most of them anyway. If that makes any sense.

That's about all that's on my mind right now. Visit the link above, kick in a few bucks to help her out. Trust me, it'll be thoroughly appreciated.
