Post trip randomocity

Just got in from a trip to my soon-to-be new hometown.

It was okay. Hopefully I have a new apartment. Also checked out the new office and my new desk. It's going to take some getting used to.

I still have a ton of crap to do at my current residence. I've been tossing some useless stuff--my goal is to get rid of as much as I can. Some of it--like my stereo, for instance--isn't really junk, but it's stuff I never use.

Then when I got back to town I went by Banfield to get Atari's ashes. They're in a nice little wooden box. I put them near his usual place in the back bedroom.

The good news from this week is Talyan, my goddaughter, is going to appear in two more episodes of Two and a Half Men--they shoot over the next couple of weeks. Her character name is Ava.

I'm exhausted but I can't seem to relax. Hopefully I'm just still wound up from the road. Maybe I can relax now. We'll see.

In the mean time I'm going to watch a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory. That always seems to help me get past these moods I get into.

OK, this is officially not funny

I mentioned my next musical project was going to be called Seer. It was going to be a collection of tunes that could be the soundtrack to a film that doesn't exist.

Naturally I had a basic idea for this nonexistant film. I just needed to rough out an outline, get a basic plot, and then start working on the music. It really wasn't necessary to get down into the details, the nuts-and-bolts, since I wasn't planning to actually write the screenplay for the movie itself.

So, while I'm sort of mulling it over, I come up with an opening act that I like a lot. Then, I came up with an ending that I like a lot. That in and of itself is the hardest part, for me--coming up with an ending. There are no words for how much easier it is to write this thing, now that I know before I even sit down to start on it where we're going.

Dammit. I was about to get cooking on this novel, Vampire Blues, too. Now that doesn't interest me as much, though I'm sure it will, again, one day.

I'm still going to do the music for it, even though if this thing manages to get made I doubt it would actually get used on the soundtrack--I just need to have a musical project in the hopper, for some reason. In the mean time, got some more development to do, plot to flesh out, characters to develop, that sort of thing, then it's a matter of sitting down and writing writing writing . . .

Anyways, I'm getting more and more excited about it. Hell, it'll keep me busy and out of trouble, anyway!
