Last Minute Script

There are more than a few things I'd like to write up, including how pleased I am that Trump is a convicted felon (and how sad I am that this makes almost no difference at all to his cult of followers but it might make enough of a difference to the swing voters in the swing states).  I guess we won't know until November.  I also managed to track down quite a few missing photos.  The number of missing posts where I showcase the amazing museums I have visited in the past couple of years is really shamefully long.  I will see if I can rectify that next week.

I'm fairly busy this weekend but probably not quite as busy as last weekend.  I also did a bit of yardwork recently.  So I may water the plants but I probably won't bother weeding this weekend, so that is one thing that is a bit less stressful.

I will need to decide fairly soon if I am going to try to go swimming at Jimmie Simpson because the pool at Matty Eckler is out of service and probably will be so for at least one more week, which really means two more weeks.  I expect to be at Jimmie Simpson on Sunday for the Riverdale Art Walk, but because I need to head over to the Distillery by 12:45, I just can't see getting in any laps this weekend.  But I will try to coordinate and go at least once next week (and maybe even two times to make up for not going last week when I found Matty Eckler was no longer a viable option).

Anyway, today I wrapped up work right around 5:30 and headed over to The Rex.  I think this is the first time in May.  I wrote out a few more pages of the piece I am working on, which is called The Door.  I also dug up a notebook where I had written down some of the very first pieces I had jotted down about this potential series about planners and their planning hijinks.  Most importantly, this has the names I came up with for the main cast.  So in a way, I feel I can start piecing things together in earnest now.  I really was not able to type up my notes until I got home.  (I have been out late and crashed when I got home on the other evenings.)  Since SFYS deadline was May 31, that meant I really just had to transcribe a bunch of pages and edit on the fly.  I think it came together reasonably well except for the second last page of the script.  It's still moderately impressive (to me) that I wrote a 10.5 page script in about 4 hours, even with the scribbled notes as a starting point.  I then struggled to get access to Google forms to submit the script, but pulled it off with about 15 minutes to go.  Hopefully, next time around I won't cut it quite so close.

Ok, that's enough about that, but I did want to share a minor triumph over deadlines with you.  I will try to carve out more time to talk about other things on my mind later this week.

Edit (6/10) My piece is being read tonight.  Yea!
