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
