Had a decent weekend. I hung out with FatTire on Friday night. We went to Veggie Heaven, which has the best resturant veggie food I've ever had. The Protein 2000, the spicy tofu dish, and the even FatTire's bubble tea tasted good. We then had a couple of pints at the Dog and Duck, which was suprisingly crowded. Saturday I just bumed around at the coffee house some working on the never ending Stephen Harrigan story. Since I'm done putting my story notes on index cards, I guess the time to start actually sending off a query letter to the magazine has arrived--no more stalling. I am also reading his first book Aransas--it's really good. It's probably not better than Gates of the Alamo, but since it is about a burnt-out twenty something in coastal Texas, I can relate to it more than historical fiction set 150 years ago. Plus, I find his whole fascination with dolphins intriguing. Now a dolphin show trainer would be a cool subject for a narrative film. Of course, the times are more pc today, so people probably wouldn't tolerate a dolphin circus like the one in Aransas

I'm a bit nervous about film class... Everyone else seems to have an idea of what they'd like to do in their respective 5-minute shorts. Shiraz will try to feature Dottie. RedStripe is contemplating kickball. Actually, RedStripe and I are to be partners, but she seemed to be reconsidering--I'm just glad she's taking the class. Still, tomorrow we're having our pictures taken and we're saying stuff about ourselves so that we can get better acquainted with our classmates. I'm wigging out about this--not feeling hip enough, not having played with video cameras since I was five. Overreacting probably.

I'd like to welcome my third friend to the semi-private Ennui Online world (remember it's a "secret" website). Murphy's and RedStripe say "hi" to my mate from the UK GNT. She and I met up in Japan. She's brilliant.
