What to talk about? Well, had a New Years get together with some friends. We made gingerbreadman shaped pizzas! And Melinda made cupcakes with sugar gingerbreadman decorations. We watched Napoleon Dynamite (hilarious) and played Scene It.

I recently saw an Anime that I didn't dislike, which is rare for me because the only anime I really like is Evangelion. This was called Read or Die (ROD) the OVA (not the TV series). It was cool. It had a James Bond type feel, but the agents had super powers so it was a bit of a twist. Agent Paper could yield paper into anything from a sword to a shield to a parachute. Agent Deep could pass through solid objects.

We filmed last wednesday, some really short montage scenes. At one point Don dropped my camera...gr...but it seems to be okay so I'm all right. Ian and I tested it at his house to make sure the footage we shot was all right. I just hope it doesn't drop anymore.

My parents gave me a hundred dollars for christmas. I am saving it and anything else I get to buy a new camera. I can get a decent one for about three hundred bucks. It would be easier if I had a job but as I'm sure I've explained before, that is not easy with the whole Skylar situation.

I have been trying to check myself lately on my writing. I've just started a story, and am about thirty pages into it, about these kids in a school that has bars on the windows, the glass is painted black, and all doors to the outside are bolted shot. Basically, they are trapped in the school with no escape. The story is about four kids who link up and try to come up with a way to get out. One of the girls in the story has a real mean mouth on her, just cusses all the time. I have no problem with putting the cussing in the story, but I am just making sure that I stay consistent with how I treat that...lemme explain that another way...I write in third person generally, omniscient point of view. So while I'll note her thoughts when she swears, the narrative of the story doesn't use vile language. As the writer of the story, I'll put down what happens with the characters and give them their personalities, but I don't think it's necessary for me to swear in the narrative because that's a reflection of me.
