Light and Fluffy

I know, I've been a bit of a downer for the last few posts, squiggly black cloud and all. So I'll try to keep it light.

I get proud of myself for a few things - usually things that require traits that I don't normally possess, like courage or tenacity. One of them was winning our van at the car auction, utilizing a combination of patience and lighting quick arm response.

Well, yesterday, I managed to attach the microwave handle that came in the mail back onto the microwave, and I didn't even break the microwave! No instructions, no manual, just some web digging, a lot of staring, and some make-shift tools. Good thing too, I didn't look forward to returning a 55 dollar handle. By the way, the company was in Canada, so I got billed a foreign transaction fee on my debit card as well. Stupid handle.

But I was pretty proud of myself, having fixed that and the faucet (I did mess that up a tad, I kinda defaced the coupler.) I'm no handiman, so when I fix something and it doesn't explode, it's a bit of a celebration for me. Woohoo.

I was at the doctor's office waiting for my mom, and punching out my treatment, and boy, if I keep the dialouge snappy and loaded, and I keep the details intact and good, the script is going to be something else. I'm getting excited about the story, because I'm hoping to dispense with the usual one-dimensional characters I usually spurt out to make a joke work, but instead trying to craft these multi-dimensional characters that people expect to watch nowadays. It's not a huge breakthrough in character development in storytelling, but it's pretty big for me. I still don't have a proper timeline of when I'd like the movie to be made, but getting the treatment done helps.

Well, I did post a few things on The Chipper Report a few days ago, including one of Frank Welker, who is the voice of Curious George. And a great wedding party video that someone else shot, whereas the wedding party do a pretty smashing rendition of "Thriller." Go see it.
