saturday report
Apr. 14th, 2007 10:57 pmBecause I'm sure somewhere out there, someone is stalking me writing a thesis on the daily routine of a genre freelancer...
I had planned (honest, I had!) to spend all day being Virtuous and Good and Productive. But after a few hours of work, the sunshine and mild temperatures lured me into thinking that it would be a nice day to walk downtown and visit The Wine Thief. So I gave C. a call to see if she wanted to join me, and instead ended up spending the afternoon hiking Sleeping Giant with C, A., and B.
Three hours later, I came home and collapsed on the sofa.
Application of chili and brown rice revived me enough to go back to work.
Movies watched:
The Great Dictator. This is totally work-related because you can learn more about physical comedy and blocking by watching Charlie Chaplin go through his paces than you can in three weeks of research.
The Ghost Breakers. I'm not sure I can quite justify this Bob Hope movie, about a haunted castle on an island, but any film with the line 'I think I'll start with an old-fashioned and bring it up to date" has got to be justifiable in some way. Oh hell, it's a romantic ghost story. It's genre with Quip. Bingo, work-related.
Oh, and every time Hope comes out with a line, I expect Scooby Doo to come careening around the corner...
Right. Back to the ongoing writing-stuff.
(also: props to Doonesbury!)
