SoC #10

No comments
- Guess slumdog becomes a part of the vernacular
- didn’t see it
- but might add it to the Q
- the nonexistent Q, which I will create soon
- at Netflix probably
- I kinda liked the opening, it was creative if a bit cheesy
- but I guess I have a soft spot for musicals
- the magic of DVR allows me to see the rest later
- but will likely be hard to not hear about all the awards tomorrow
- didn’t create a SoC graphic, but maybe I’ll just insert some of my own photography randomly
- as I couldn’t resist buying that camera I kept eying last week
- its a bit smaller than my other DSLR-like camera
- so I’ll likely have it by my side most of the time
- it also takes 720p video, which I’m not sure how I’ll use
- but some nice mood, or B roll stuff could be good to spice up some website ideas I keep kicking around in my head
- a friend’s site – a SMF Bboard inspired the writing of that last fiction piece
- the guidelines were 60 minutes of writing or during lunchtime
- which is nice to write and let stuff go – like helium balloons (without the pollution side effects)
- just type away and see where it leads you
- but the idea for that last piece was inspired partly on a subway ride
- and the mood was set from the nightly news
- was thinking about making a randomizer that takes topics from news, websites, blogs and randomly spits out a topic to write about
- could be fun to do, writing is really just like anything else – the practice makes it easier and better
- another idea would be to tag team writing things
- spit out a paragraph or two, and pass the baton
- I’d also like to write an entire episode of a fav TV show
- its likely more work than I want to do, but in the end it could be very entertaining
- picture 2-6 people, some pizza, a white board or similar and a few keyboards
- could be a couple hours of fun, just have to agree on which show
- and there will likely be many other ‘rules’ and guidelines created as you go
- other writing ideas that came up were
- random characters from history meeting or running into each other at the supermarket
- like what would Hitler and Ghandi say picking up a quart of milk?
- or Hillary Clinton and Miley Cyrus, or Harry Potter and Dirty Harry?
- it could be fun if it grabs ya
