Helio,

It's in someone else's hands... I thought you would have got it back by now.

I guess I'll get working on it.....

Blew $1500 at the casino within a week, needless to say Im fallin back into writing for my pass time

Okay, Pia. It was just to show you need to do more things than you have done until now. For example: translating the Bible into braile method! Haha!

Quoted from Takeshi ...Which pisses me off because I had him beat on logic and then blew my cool when he wouldn’t accept my point of view. I really need to ease up on the coffee.

Some people gotta learn it the hard way and if that includes a broken nose and a few loose teeth then that includes a broken nose and a few loose teeth. Don't sweat it.

What've I've been doing? Work, family, football, beer, re-watched the entire Sopranos series, re-read Heretics of Dune, gave my car a nano treatment, took my wife to a real fancy Italian restaurant.

Funny enough though, I didn't write a single word while the board was down.

Quoted from Takeshi However, I am sweating on a phone call to see if one of my shorts is going to get produced. I've actually decided to shoot it myself provided a friend of mine (whose star is on the rise down in here in Oz) agrees to be in it. I sent him the script last Thursday night, so hopefully I'll hear something in the next few days. I hope I'm not jinxing myself by talking about it.

Good news. He said he’ll act in it, so now it’s full steam ahead. My aim is to shoot the film and enter it into next year’s St Kilda Film Festival which accepts entries between October and January.

Any additional feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks for the support Sniper. I appreciate it. But I ‘m a little bit disappointed with myself. Sure the guy was a tosser, but I made a fool out of myself by going off at him in public.

Would you rather have invited him back to your place?

Thought not

And congrats with getting the actor onboard - good luck with the project.

Btw, Chris, it's kinda weird. You're Australian and you dig Danish movies. I'm Danish but work for an Australian company. What are the odds?

Since the school is on summer, I agreed to coach this summers Football team.

I'm still kind of pissed off that one of my students failed his exam, I mean its' P.E. I gave these guys a packet with every single question on the final, and we went over it in class.  These kids had the answers and some people still bombed it.

I mean, when I was a kid, I pulled this crap too, but I mean when you're on the other end, and when you do your best to make it easier on the student and they still don't give a crap enough to study a two page packet, well that's just a direct kick in the family jewels, y'know?

Other than that, I submitted my short "Nolan The Security Guard" to the De Anza screenwriting contest and got 12th place.  So I at least balance out the good with the bad.

Nothing could be better here! Today marks my second day of summer vacation and  i'm recovering from the first! So far I've been pretty busy, got a new job, well my first job as a deli boy wahooo, ahha, it's fun though! Hope it won't consume too much of my summer! I've been squeezing in some late night script writing on my series, i just love writing series, good practice too! but overall, i'm doing great, it's summer vacation what could go wrong?

Thanks. His name is Daniel Frederiksen. He's starring in "Ten Empty" which is the Aussie flick I posted a link to on the upcoming movies board. So if it does well (and I suspect it will) then having him in my short is going to be a real bonus. So now I have to get cracking and put a cast and crew together.

Speaking of Danish movies I just rented "Exit" which stars, my man, Mads Mikkelsen. I'll watch it this weekend. Mads has been the discovery of 2008 for me. I even watched Casino Royale the other day because he was in it. I'd given up on watching Bond movies ever since Roger Moore left the franchise but CR was really good. It had better character development and a harder edge than the usual Bond fluff. Obviously the Bourne franchise has forced the Bond franchise to lift its game.      

Here's a pic of Andy and me in London.




Phil

Who's Andy and who's Phil?

Of course this was taken by a PIRATE SHIP!!! GOONIES NEVER SAY DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!

Haha - ok, it was a replica galleon but still!!!

Thanks for the pic, Phil - I haven't yet downloaded mine off the cell yet!

Quoted from sniper Who's Andy and who's Phil?

We are!


Phil

Love the hair, Phil.

Quoted from sniper Who's Andy and who's Phil?

That would be "how to spot a noob." No offense, but I did find it amusing that too many people don't know these two very well know boar members. While Phil and Andy have both responded so it's very clear, I would be willing to wager that Sniper wasn't alone in his query.

I'll bet if Phil had a sock on his head (let the dirty minds wander...now!) and Andy was wearing a pirate hat, everyone would have a better idea.
