I spend yesterday - Saturday - recovering from what wa a relatively mild hangover considering the alcohol consumption from the night before. And I spent it with friends, Good Friends.. Nik, Batman and A. I even managed to squeeze in another 2 episodes of FireFly... which by the way Joss Whedon is my new hero..
Let me explain..
Every few years I take on a new... well idol isn't the right word for it, but close enough... it used to be Warren Ellis.... and now it's quickly becoming Whedon... well at least with Firefly, can't really say I'm a fan of much anything else he's done... like Warren Ellis who gave me hope for the future of Comic Books and the future I could one day have in said genera... Whedon gives me hope as a writer in general. More so as a Character writer, which when you really get down to the heart of who I am and what my strong points are as a writer, that would be it. The down side is now revisiting that story line I gave my life to in high school, refining. But with the help of Nik, I'm at least looking at it with the highlight of an actor's perspective, so at least the characters are being polished up instead of fully revamped, which is usually the case.
And I love having the friends that I have, like take yesterday for example... I sit down with Nik, A, and Batman... ok so first off, when Batman watches something, (at least I hope this is whats actually happening) as a tech he's going to watch it from a more mechanical perspective... Nik, an Actor, well you can guess her perspective... me a writer, well duh a writing perspective... and A, well she's what you can call an informed Viewer, she's not a stupid couch slum, slave to the TV forever and eternity, she enjoys tv when she dose stop and sit down to watch certain shows, she's observant and watched the full picture and takes a bit from each aspect.. If Matty were around we'd have the Director/Producer/graphics... but in my world that would be the perfect world.. at least given the circumstances.
Well when it's all said and done I can leave you with two bit of some decent advice...
1) it's amazing what you learn when you listen..
2) Go buy Firefly.. you be glad you did....
