Projects and Pastimes

Projects:

- Top secret project with my actress friend.  Well, the secrets are top secret.  We're doing a series of music videos.  I won't get deeper into it than that.

- This blog.  Besides my two followers and the hits transferred when I post about it on Facebook, this is (for now) also mostly a secret.  But a productive one.

- The Novel.  This is super secret at this point. A quick update: I really, really need to grapple the Point of View of my narrator character.

- Green Tea Graffiti: When I get stable internet, this will be easier to keep up with.  For now, I've got an article on the way that should be dynamite.

I'm really happy with the progress I've made on each of these projects...minus GTG, which I need at home internet access to have 24 hour coverage.  My phone can't really check my GTG email very well, so it's just so hard to keep up.  Gonna need to get on that...

As for pastimes, I'm still engaging in a bit of good stuff I've always loved to do.

- The Fantasy Football team I update every week in Murph's league is 9-3, and leads the league in Fantasy points by 200.  I write a weekly column where I predict (often errantly) the real life NFL winners.  We also make fun of Steve, who, much to my chagrin, is coming back to take a playoff spot.  He's got Peyton Hillis and Dwayne Bowe.  He's scary now.

 - I'm doing e-w again, my brother Nick's 3DW fed, in the vein of old school ECW.  I handle a South Korean immigrant with a sordid past named Na Neun Park.  It translates to "I am Park." Started off as a high concept character, but has become more relatable, and frankly, interesting in the cooperative narrative dynamic as he's integrated into the federation and its Cabal of misfits.

 - We have new upstairs neighbors at the new place.  We saw a moving van outside, and, though I was determined to get this blog post out, I gritted my teeth and completed my second favorite college-bred pastime, moving.  My quarter Mexican self, along with Tanner, helped them lug their big furniture up the 16 steps and into their pad.  They're four friends from Folsom who got tired of living in an overpriced apartment, which is probably what Folsom city planning wanted.  People like us, mid to late-twenties fun-seeking working class kids have no place in that place without children and an Intel job.  I know already they're cooler than us, so I'm glad we helped out: nice folk.

- Poker nights should be happening twice a month or so at my place now.  It's gonna be baller status.

- Tomorrow I truly take initiative in my health...like, the overall health thing, where I actually look to build on my potential for physical activity, rather than cutting cutting cutting.  This is where the real work comes in.  This is my new pastime.

Should be exciting!  For now, I have a venue to run.  It'll be a HELL of a show: The Kelps, The Aberzombies and Exhale play.  Definitely on the punk side of rock.  The Kelps ROCKED it last week, as stated in this blog.  Check it out, 8:30PM tonight on 11th and H!  5 dollar cover!
