Post Super Bowl thoughts and randomocity

Let me answer the burning question first:

Yes, I was disappointed that the Falcons lost the Super Bowl, in a record-breaking second-half collapse. That game magnified the issues they've had all season--inconsistent defense, second-half let-downs, and bone-headed offensive play calling.

However, as I said earlier, I wasn't expecting them to get that far. I would have been happy with a playoff appearance. Not even a playoff win, just an appearance. I can't go back now and say that I'm angry at them for losing, since them even being in the game meant they wildly exceeded my expectations for this season.

So, let's address the issues the game underscored, and come out next year, get back there, and win it next time. Got me? That's my expectations for next season. Next season, Falcons win it all.

I've finished the pilot script for my TV show project, The Prince. I copyrighted it and submitted it to a screenplay writing contest, and paid extra to get the judge's notes on it. I should know something in a couple of months. Hopefully, whoever the first reader is will figure out what I'm trying to do with it.

My next project, I think, is going to be a feature film. I got a basic idea for one Friday but I haven't had time to develop it yet--I'm giving myself a couple days off from creative endeavors as a reward for getting the pilot script in good enough shape to start sending out.

I think this one is going to be science fiction, maybe with some horror undertones. I won't reveal the title here because I haven't decided on it yet--that'll come when more of the story emerges. Oddly enough, the thought process that lead to the initial idea was inspired by a review I read of the movie version of Fifty Shades Darker. Though my project will have very little to do with that one. Just a random sentence in what I read got me to thinking . . .

Anyway, that'll be something to occupy me later this week.

So, no sports for me to watch over the next couple of months, until baseball gets started in April. Nothing much to distract me from getting some serious work done over the next month or so! I'll barf out this feature film screenplay in no time flat!

Hopefully.
