John August held a scene writing contest on this blog and I thought it was the perfect thing to get me back into writing so I entered. I didn’t win but, that wasn’t the out come I was hoping for. I wanted to just complete something that had a deadline.
For the contest you had to [...]

I’ve been keeping an eye on John August’s development of his Scrippets plug-in for Wordpress since he announced it. I’ve always been envious of his way with code that made script excerpts show up on his website in proper format. Now everyone can do it.

As far as books are concerned, I’ve really gotten into reading them as of late. That might not sound bad if I was say 13, but I’m 26. For a quick background on my inability to grasp anything literary, the only two books I can remember reading, required or not, before I dove head first [...]
Over the last 2 weeks I’ve made my way down to old city on numerous occasions to catch a few flix at the Philadelphia Film Festival. Alicia and I have been talking about going for the past 2 years or so but never made it there. This year we caught 4 good movies and 1 [...]
