And today I got rejected from the University of PIttsburgh. I'm on a roll now.

On another note, everyone should go read "Good-Bye Chunky Rice" by Craig Thompson. It's a really short graphic novel, but it's very whimsical, cute, bittersweet, sad, and good. Thompson's follow-up work, "Blankets," is one of my favorite books (of any format) ever. And I love the animals in it (I've always loved animals -- for some reason I'm just really sensitive about them).

That book would be a great film adaptation; I think I'd really like to take a crack at making a screenplay out of it once I'm done with this novel I'm working on (which won't be until early June, at the earliest). It would make a very cute 45-minute movie, but it could also be a full-length thing with a few adjustments (mostly some scenes to lengthen it and maybe expand upon the very abrupt ending). In any event, it would be a fun challenge for my screenwriting skills if nothing else. I've written four originals, but never an adaptation. That would be a great book to start with.

EDIT: Okay, apparetly last night I wrote about two pages worth of crap after drinking almost an entire bottle of wine, and it became pretty incomprehensible after a while. I really need to stop posting on here when I've been drinking....
