Divisional playoff randomocity!

Right now, as I type this, Baltimore and Denver are tied at 28 with less than a minute in the third quarter. Just FYI.

It's been a good game so far, especially since I really don't care who wins it. The one I care about is tomorrow--Seattle vs. Atlanta. I'm expecting that to be a close game but I think the Falcons will win it. Though Seattle definitely has a chance.

This morning while I was having breakfast something occurred to me about an idea I've had for a film for couple of years now. It's an idea that I like but I've never really spent much time developing it--something just came out of the blue that sort of added the missing piece to it.

Problem is, I want to be working on Feeders right now. I don't like taking on multiple projects--some people work like that, but I hate it.

However, this thing wants to come out, and my imagination will not let me think about anything else, so I'll yield to the temptation to at least start working on it.

While not giving away too many details, it's about a hit man who undergoes a psychotic break--he starts feeling guilt about all the people he's killed (one in particular) and it drives him nuts. It's going to be one of those weird things where a character is actually a personification of this guy's guilt. It'll be kinda of weird and, if done right, and if it gets produced, will be one of those films that critics will adore but the rest of us will go, huh?

Which is fine, and not unexpected, going into this thing.

I need to start plotting it out, creating characters, firming up some details. I've got the important stuff already worked out in my head, I just need to figure out some specifics.

I'm having to make some changes, lifestyle-wise. I really haven't been taking my diabetes diagnosis very seriously and it's starting to take a toll. So, I'm gonna keep a closer eye on what I eat, and be a bit more anal about going to the gym. It's an adjustment, and not an easy one, but it's one I've done before so I know it's possible.

I'm missing Atari tonight. Lately I've encountered a lot of dog-related stuff, on Facebook and in real life, and that's sort of reminded me of him. Next month will mark a year since I said goodbye to him. As I type that the pain wells up yet again, as strong as ever. It'll always be there, I know that now.

So, distract me--who are you picking in the NFL playoffs? Who is going to win? Who will be going on to the Superbowl? Give me your playoff picks here.
