May 27, 2004I'm back, and badder than ever...
It's good to have access to the internet again; for the last three days, some variant of the Sasser worm was rebooting my computer every time I tried to log on. That made downloading the needed Windows Security Update difficult, to say the least, and forced me to endure the shame of checking my e-mail and sending out needed messages from Kinko's.
I got some good news via e-mail a few evenings ago, right before my modem turned into Hellen Keller--I entered three short stories in SpecFicWorld.com's Second Annual Speculative Fiction Contest, and, out of a field of 87 entries, my pieces managed to place fifth, ninth, and fourteenth. Click the link to check out the list of the top fourteen stories.
I turned in my screenplay draft this morning, all 87 insane pages of it. My professor made the comment earlier in the week that my script is "almost beyond comprehension because it's so stupid." However, as I'm trying to write something in the vein of "Half-Baked" and "Not Another Teen Movie," I'm taking that as a compliment.
The only other newsworthy item is that I auditioned for "Proof" at RCC a few evenings ago, and I'm waiting to hear back on that. I don't expect to know until Sunday or Monday, but that's okay. Between the essays I need to grade, the essay I need to write, and the playwriting pages I need to crank out, there's plenty to keep me from pining by the phone.
