While working on an assignment for broadcasting (biography on Walter Cronkite), I imagined how amusing it would be to write my own autobiography. And while mine was slightly inappropriate (joking that I would turn it into a romance novel for all those completely non-sensual moments that I've had in my life), it caused bouts of laughter anyways.
And then it struck me that it would make an interesting (probably comedy) movie: someone writing their own autobiography -- trying to make their life interesting, even though it's very mundane. It would be interspersed with scenes of their dramatized versions next to the REAL version of the story.

art
I've really been wishing that I could make art lately. I miss that time when I had art class.
Sometimes I get overwhelming urges to just create, which is always unfortunate during the semester (especially when I don't have a creative outlet class) because I never have any time that I can dedicate to artwork.
Lately I've been really inspired by Biblical themes for pieces of art...unfortunately, I didn't write the one down.
I do recall one particular image that has stuck with me, and it's a metaphorical representation of Jesus from the book of Revelation. I want to recreate the scene where the slaughtered lamb breaks the seals that represent history. It sounds slightly morbid, but I don't want it to be. I want it to be half black, opening (almost as if in mid transition from a movie or something) into a very cartoonish representation.
The other day, I also wanted to paint birds in v-formation. I'm not saying that I'm suddenly fascinated by ornithology, but I wanted to get the sky with the birds and....whatever.
