The not-so-serious but I want to rant thread.

@wana10 : Dude, yikes. Sorry to hear that!

So, yeah, my daughter is currently sitting underneath a UV lamp for jaundice. Not cool, not cool at all. On the plus side, it appears to be working, as she's sleeping less (whimper) and taking more interest in eating. On the down side, she has to wear a decidedly uncomfortable arrangement over her eyes, and she can't be held when she wants to be.

Hopefully she can be out of it tomorrow...
This is just preparing her for cybernetic implants.

She will be RoboC...hild... of a cop.
 
I think I'm going to explode at work soon. I'm just sick of hearing people bitch, which is all they come to me to do. I'm in the corner in the basement by myself, so no one stops by to just talk. Add to that installing the latest release is not going well. I was at work for 14 hours yesterday, and have been here for 2 hours so far today. I'm just so tired of it all.
 
Coming off my frustration and loneliness earlier this week, I am doing nothing but sitting alone in my house with a beer in my boxers.

I'm not sure if this is a rant or not but I still feel kinda neglected.
 
Man, I am boxer-ing it up in my house too. Except I'm drinking Pepsi. I'm also neglecting a heap of writing which I told myself that I'd do tonight.
 
I should be painting.

I should always be painting.

I just haven't been motivated to do anything over the past couple weeks.

...

Now I just tempted to take shirtless pictures of myself to get a quick [hopefully positive] response from the females of this forum to mend my flagging self-esteem...
 
what if you were riding a dinosaur, and shooting machine guns? Would that be arrogant, or a representation of the emotions you're feeling?


or just awesome?
 
A while ago my friend and I were discussing the lack of artwork in his apartment. I am seriously considering dropping the necessary cash for a framed (photo) portrait of myself. I think his wife might not like it, though.

Either that or a bust of me.
 
I am currently making my first attempt at a screenplay. It would be for a short film, 5-10 mins (6-12 pages) which I can imagine could be shot in a single day with minimal cost or commitment. I think the concept is pretty solid. If I had to boil it down I would call it a "humorous commentary on men who love their vocations." I intend to give it to a friend of mine who has expressed an interest in shooting short films before.

And yet, I feel like my execution of the idea (insofar as writing a screenplay is concerned) is consistently lackluster. It could be excellent, but I don't think I can bring it there. How depressing is that? My own idea would probably be done better by someone else.
 
Rob if this is your first screenplay it could be very beneficial to team up with a more experienced screenwriter to help you out. It's still your concept obviously, but a more experienced person would really be able to help you translate it to paper. There's no shame in admitting that you need help doing something you've never done before.

Work rant in obnoxious letter format--

Dear 20-something guys in the holister shirts with the fancy ass cars,

Yes you do have to stick the park sticker directly to the windshield. Im sorry that this mars the beauty of your fancy ass car and in some way disrupts the dopey beer commercial that is your life but that is the way it is. If you don't want to stick the sticker to your windshield, fine, put it on the dashboard, put in the glove compartment or your wallet, hell, shove it up your ass for all I care, but enjoy your 110 dollar fine.

Dear asshole in the jeep with the spikey hair and baseball cap,

I realize that you and your bitchy wife think that you and your kids and your buddies and your beer are the center of the universe but Im afraid this is not so.

There are other people in the world, actually there are other people in this very campground, and those people do not want to have to put up with your shit. So if you would stop engaging in extreme douchery and STFU so others can enjoy the park, we will all be much happier.

sincerely,

the chick at the booth who wants you all to die
 
Thanks, Baer. I'm not quite sure I know anyone to give me a hand, but I think once I get finished (or ... sort of finished) a first draft, and once I format it correctly, I might bring it to my hopeful-filmmaker friend to go over it, and maybe seek advice from anyone he might know.
 
Sounds like a good plan to me, Rob. Screenplay format is pretty strict, too. It probably won't matter too much if you're just making a short film with friends but if you start doing anything within the industry itself it becomes really important if you don't want the producer to relegate your script to the circular file. This site looks like its got some good info about formatting a screenplay: Screenwriting.info: How to Write a Screenplay.

In terms of format, you're going to want a program that'll format it automatically, or you'll be driven mad. I reccomend Celtx. Completely free, and works like a charm.

Also, I've done some screenplay dabbling myself (read through four books on the subject, and am working on an as-yet-unfinished feature-length production), and since I'm currently unemployed I'd be willing to give you a hand if you want.

Seconded. Celtx is quite awesome![/QUOTE]

This fucking girl keeps ignoring my messages. How the hell am I supposed to tell her I like her (just to be rejected) if I can't manage to get to see her?

I'll call her during the week if she doesn't say anything.
 
Silver, I don't know what the situation is but... if she's ignoring your messages maybe its pointless to tell her you like her. Maybe just close the book on this chapter and open a new one?

*nod* You are wasting way too much precious time on this person.
If you do insist on telling her before you think you are able to move on just look her up and stand right in front of her. Then tell her and walk away.

"I liked you, bitch!" would work. :p[/QUOTE]

That's more or less the idea, actually... to tell her I liked her for some time... and then give her back her terminator DVD and go away.

Of course, it won't be like this, but as the actual situation may be the result of third party tampering, I need to tell her and have her tell me she doesn't.
 
Maybe. Or maybe it's taking a while to get the bacon sizzling and crackling since it's frozen.

(I'm... I'm sorry...)
