It's A Good Weekend...

I don't think I can really ask for anything more from this weekend. I started it off with some valuable research my last 2 days of work. The research Sunday was interrupted by a pleasantly surprising visit from an old, dear friend who shared his personal ghost stories from the hotels he has managed! :D (If you're a fan of Fawlty Towers you know that one of the things you have to deal with when you manage a hotel is the corpses of expired guests; you may not know, however, that another thing you have to deal with is ghosts.)

Then I took a break and slept most of Monday, lol.

Had some homemade burritos Tuesday and got to watch the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still on my iPod. Then I wrapped yesterday up by staying up late, putting my 2 days of research to use and created 2 Central Texas towns (and their histories) and a ghost for my screenplay! :D (The ghost, by the way, is of my own creation, not inspired by my friend's true-life tales from his hotels. I'll use one of two of those in some future story, though, no doubt.)

Then today, the last day of my weekend, is close to half-over, and I've just finished Quantum of Solace which was really good. I mean, as my friend Lothar warned me, it's not Casino Royale, but I think it's really good. This new crew is concerned more with story than spectacle -- a new tack with Bond, and not unwelcome -- but they don't short-change us on the action!!! ;)

Very interesting flick.

I look forward to seeing where the Bond franchise goes from here! It's like they're carefully redefining the series, and I like the shape it appears to be taking.

Now I need to decide whether to return to Total Drama Island or maybe watch Groundhog Day, which I now have on my iPod, and which I haven't seen in YEARS.

I could do some writing, too... but we'll see. I've been not forcing the writing thing, and I really like what's been coming out of my keyboard. So we'll see where the creative "flow" takes me...

Meanwhile, have you seen Dollhouse yet? ;P
