The writing’s on the wall
There comes a time when you just have to admit when someone just isn’t that into you. When a guy can’t spare 5 minutes of his time a day to get to know you, then he doesn’t want to know you. He’s not interested and he probably has someone else on the side, or your the person the side and that other person is his main dish.
Been there, done that. I don’t like being somebody’s side dish and I don’t want to be someone’s main dish while he’s sampling all those other sides.
Back to square one of being single. I think I’m going to stick with it. It’s easier and less disappointing. I deleted all of his contact information from my computer and my phone.
Anyways, I think I’m almost ready to lock my hair. I’m tired of wearing it in a ponytail. Not cute or sexy though I’ve been seeing folks on tv wearing sexy ponytails. I think it has more to do with their hair not frizzing up like crazy. It’s pretty hard to keep 16 inches of hair from frizzing when it’s humid or there’s an ocean nearby. Giant pom pom on a little nerf ball head.
I went to that ABC writing fellowship Q&A this past Monday. I think I’m going to try doing it but for next year. I finally know which show I want to spec for. It took me a while to figure it out because every show I thought about writing a spec script for got canceled and they want specs for shows currently in production. I want to spec script for Dollhouse. I totally get that show. Consensual servitude. I understand that. I did five years in the Army! Only I remember every minute of it. I so wish I could have some of those memories wiped.
I won’t be applying for the fellowship this year because I want to have at least two scripts ready and I only have a month to prepare, which isn’t enough time. Not if I want to write something great. Besides I have to focus on my business. If I can get some extra money coming in from that every month I will be okay.
As far as the job search, I haven’t been looking. But I think I know what I must do. I can’t leave California if I want to take a shot at screenwriting but I also don’t want to stay here.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I cannot describe my confusion over the TSCC. It seems like Fox is preparing to take TSCC off the air and the show is getting really, really good. The show is my favorite show on tv right now.
I just have this feeling this will be the last season of TSCC despite next weeks episode only being a season finale instead of a series finale. I wish they hadn’t killed of the eye candy. His death wasn’t all that memorable. Just a bullet to the head. Couldn’t the writers have come up with a more dignified or dramatic way for John Connor’s uncle to die? A bullet to the head. What a shame.
I went to a Buffy meetup group last night. It was interesting. I never thought I would be surrounded by people who loved Buffy that much. I’m going to have fun hanging out with them. Maybe I’ll even get an opportunity to meet Joss Whedon at one of the Buffy events.
That’s all I have to say about tv. Dollhouse is on and I want to try to watch it. I fell asleep watching last week’s episode.
Random
It seams I completely forgot what I was going to write about.
I logged into the IndieSOS forum tonight to read a post about blogging. So far, I’m the only person besides the administrator(s) to post a blog at the forums. It’s a little disheartening since the organization provides the blogging feature to members for free. I’m totally taking advantage of it because I want to get into screenwriting and it seems natural to write.
Anyway. I’ve been thinking a lot about the script(s) I’m going to be writing next month. I think I’m going to start writing the spec script now and then work on the feature script in April. I verify with IndieSOS at the end of this month so I’m hoping to meet some actors who will inspire me to write a short feature film. I’ve read a few directors, like Spike Lee, often write for specific actors in mind.
I went to Yang Chow’s on Sunday with my mom and two of my cousins. My cousin R suggested I join a theatre group. Ha! Not into acting though the pay is good when you can get the work. I’m too private of a person (coming from someone posting intimate thoughts on a public blog).
I watched an interesting commercial last night. It was Mary Kay. It seems the company is looking to attract more sales reps. Now, I don’t mean to write about MLM, but now is the time to get into it. Recessions and high unemployment are the key elements for increased profits with MLM companies.
I just felt like writing about MLM.
As far as shows I really like on TV. I’m really liking Lost and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I’m still not sure about Dollhouse. I wasn’t impressed with the series premier but the show is starting to grow on me. I hope Terminator and Dollhouse will be on next year. For some reason, I have this feeling the shows will be cancelled. Who watches tv on a Friday night?
Dollhouse
I don’t know what to think about Dollhouse. I found it rather confusing. I’m hoping the show will get better. It really isn’t like me to not like a Joss Whedon show. Buffy was great, Angel was great, and Firefly was the shiznitz.
Dollhouse is nothing like My Own Worst Enemy. At this point, I can say I liked My Own Worst Enemy better but hopefully things will change. I really, really want to like Dollhouse.
As for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I loved Friday’s episode. I’m still furious about Fox moving the show to Fridays (who watches tv on Fridays?) but I will get over it now that I can watch the show over the Internet. What I liked about Friday’s episode is bringing some of the short-lived history between Sarah and Kyle Reese. I love romance of the twisted kind. He’s been dead for years but yet Sarah still carries a torch for a man she only spent a couple of days with. I’ve never experienced that.
I’m still trying to figure out the deal with the Red head. Is she good or is she bad? It seems she’s trying to change the way terminators operate. Does she want to live like humans? Does she want her kind to be more human?
Anyway, apparently men don’t care if a woman’s eggs are fresh or not. They just want to be able to make an omelette. So, there’s no need to be paranoid about the freshness of my eggs. And younger guys like older women.
Health and television
I thought about going vegetarian for a while because I find meat upsets my stomach. Well, everything upsets my stomach. I had a few pieces of some lamb and I just couldn’t bring myself to eat any more. The meat was so fatty. It was the look of the meat that turned my stomach more than the meat itself. I just don’t like looking or eating fatty meat.
I had some Panda Express the other day and it upset my stomach. I did, however, enjoy my fortune cookie. “Striving for the best will bring you closer to the best.” I like it.

I cannot wait to be done with school. I’ve got a lot of television writing and a lot of television and movie watching to
do. I’m especially looking forward to the premier of Dollhouse (Fox) as I am a huge Joss Whedon fan. You can read more about Dollhouse at Fox.
I was a little worried at first because the premise of the show was eerily similar to NBC’s My Own Worst Enemy (which has been cancelled) but I’m certain Joss and his team of writer’s can make Dollhouse a million times more interesting than My Own Worst Enemy. Believe me, I know the power of Joss. I’ve been watching his shows from beginning to end since I discovered Buffy. I have every show of his on DVD. Buffy, Angel, Firefly and eventually I’ll be adding Dollhouse.
