A few months ago - I met some new people by attending this fun social workshop where people proposed their script ideas for fun. I, of course, arrived late - and, of course, was also feverishly sick. Anyway - everyone's ideas were fun and outlandish.  The vast majority of pitches were sci-fi or fantasy based and involved gratuitous amounts of imagined CGI.  Needless to say - the budgets for these movies would have been extreme.  I actually didn't really come to the workshop with any ideas.  I mean, I know nothing about pitching a script or story, so I went along just to rub elbows and bask in the glow of other people's talent. To my horror, I was still asked to take the stage and there I stood, red faced and wobbling slightly from fever as I pitched an old idea to a relatively unimpressed crowd.  One girl even vocalised that my idea, and those of others as well (so in this case I wasn't singled out, and I certainly wasn't offended), were pretty crap....

Will you look at that.... I have made a post.  Its taken me two or three years.  I have also finally changed the layout of this place.  Is this fancy enough for you?  I think I want to do a few more changes, but it might not count for much if I don't really end up posting anything on here. Ugh guys... adulting is hard! Every hour of my day is used up like sand in a... sand bucket... But last week, my social media feed got inundated with information about the casting of my favourite game dad, Geralt of Rivia for the upcoming NetFlix series.  I had feelings as a result.  Weird ones. Anyway - I mentioned that I had an essay's worth of thoughts and a friend told me to write them down.  So here we are.  Its a preliminary set of thoughts, and I truncated a lot of it and cut out loads of paragraphs because the article was meant to be for publication in another online thing.  But it didn't happen so I might as well archive it here....
