It's not like SO MUCH has happened over the past few days, but on the other hand it feels like my world has shifted. Specific knowledge of one of the two things that's stopped my from achieving my goals at almost every turn has opened my eyes and broadened my options and now I'm just left with the job of figuring out what to do with myself and how to go about things for the rest of my life.
On top of that, I've been more or less offered a job writing dubbing scripts for North American releases of anime. Well, I've been given the chance to script a couple of pilots for them--if they like the scripts I can probably secure a whole series.
I've also been offered a promotion (basically) at my day job and I'm torn as to how I should feel about that.
My life is in flux and it's not bad or under a time-constraint or even as stressful as it could be (except in the sense that I have to face these dark looming obstacles in my life), but it is staggering and periodically bewildeing.
Oh well. I like a challenge.
On completely NON-introspective subjects, last night I went to see Dawn of the Dead with Malloreigh and the late Leningrad (which was fun), and afterward we hung around in a cemetary (which seemed like the thing to do) and then we got both philosophical and melancholy... which was still fun. Good times, good times...
Also, I got invited to a press screening of Kill Bill, Volume 2 and I am SO stoked for that, it's not funny.
And I wrote an article this morning on zombies and this was the introduction (also good times):
BOOK of ROMERO
CHAPTER 13
38) Jesus went unto the cave where Lazarus was laid to rest and commanded those present to remove the stone which stood in its entrance.
39) And the men did as Jesus bid, and the throng gathered tight around him and looked on at him with wonder.
40) And Jesus raised his hands to the Heavens and cried out for Lazarus to come forth.
41) Then, from the darkness, a figure emerged, bandaged hand and foot and around his body in the muslin of his graveclothes.
42) And Lazarus sisters Mary and Martha gaped, not only for the miracle that was their brother risen from beyond his grave, but for the fact that his visage was gaunt and there was a mad cast to his face.
43) Lazarus, spake Jesus, you have lain aslumber these past daystell us what you desire most now that you are arisen.
44) And Lazarus gaped at Jesus and gawked at Jesus and shambled forth a step, then two, until in a hearty voice he proclaimed, BRAINS!
45) Jesus sidestepped the artless assault and tripped the man who he loved like a brother and placed a sandaled foot between his shoulder blades, pinioning him to the dust.
46) And Jesus drew forth his Colt .45, and did cock the trigger and place it at the back of Lazarus head, execution-style.
47) And he proclaimed above the undead wailing of Lazarus, in a voice loud enough for all present to hear, GODDAMN ZOMBIES!
48) And Jesus shot.
49) And shot again.
Okay, I'm off to read and relax and nap and then later I'm gonna try and get some news done (which I've been neglecting in the time since the revelations hit and my brain started melting). Keep on rockin', rockers!

Oh and I hate mental patients but only for a limited time. Next week you wanna catch some Hellboy or are you going to the advanced screening too?
