Horrays and boos

Well there is much more horraying (that HAS to be a word spell check!) than booing (yes! that checks out!) today. Talked to some of my colleagues, i.e. people who put up with me, and some awesome things have occurred. A commercial contest I entered awhile ago with a couple of my friends won first prize. Though it wasn't the GRAND prize, it still was worth 4000 dollars and the ability to brag. Adding to that bragging is the simple fact that I just may forget to tell people there was a GRAND prize winner and leave it at "We won first place!" and not elaborate. That looks better on a resume and portfolio in my humble opinion. The money isn't really what I am excited about, more so the fact that something I had a hand in was deemed worthy enough to bestow a cash reward upon it. I'll take the recognition over the money, the hardware over the chedda (yeah yeah, not gonna fight that one, YOU WIN AGAIN SPELL CHECK).

On another note, got a nice text from another colleague yesterday inquiring if I wanted to co-produce an independent feature length film with him. After thinking about it for about as long as it took me to figure out how to spell inquiring (did you know inguiring is a word?!), I said yes and we spoke today. Turns out the old ball and chain (the 9-5, not the girlfriend) wouldn't interfere in giving it my all, so it looks like it will work out. Definitely looking forward to that.

The boos come from my inability to come up with a GREAT ending for my latest screenplay. Not some ho hum aliens kill Cate Blanchett and fly away in their spaceship kind of ending. No, I am looking for a Crying Game, HOLY SHIT SHES A DUDE! type ending to my script. A payoff that will make the entire, boring, nonsensical (really? a word?) journey that is my script, a journey that probably only my mother would take, worth it in the end. I need to muddle around in my mind and come up with something that not only makes sense, but is TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME! Alright, enough of that, time to dive into my weird mess of a mind.
