Screenwriter Kiki

I’m on the writing team for this 48 hour film contest.  I’m kinda excited.  It  should be fun.  Crazy, but fun.  We basically get told a genre, character, prop and line of text and 6pm on Friday and have to write a script, shoot the film, edit it etc and have it turned in by 6pm sunday.  We had our first meeting yesterday and it went pretty well.

There’s no reason you would know this cuz I’ve never really divulged this info but I’m an aspiring screenwriter.  I’m working on a film with my writing partner right now and I’ve also been working on my portfolio.  I’ve written a couple of pilots and spec scripts and I’m just trying to immerse myself in the scene.  I’m a newbie.  Activities like this contest are fun.

Unemployed Kiki

So…  I lost my job yesterday.  Hmmm.  I probably should be a lot more freaked out.  I’m surprisingly not disturbed.  I got a pretty decent severance package.  My bills are paid up.  *shrugs*  I kinda don’t know what else to say.  I’m not sad.  I liked working there but definitely had no aspirations to be a Workers’ Comp  legal assistant for the rest of my life so I guess that’s why I’m not devastated or anything.  It was just a job that paid my bills and let me dick around on the internet all day.  I know the economy is still shit so that should be worrying me but I guess I’m optimistic that something will come along.

I kept saying to myself that I felt a big change coming.  There were too many big events happening in my life for something drastic not to happen.  Roomate moving out etc.  I guess I didn’t think it would be my job though, I felt it would be something more on the mental outlook front.

I don’t have any hard feelings about it.  There weren’t that many new cases coming in.  I was the last one hired so I had to be the first to go.  I am going to miss listening to Bassdrive all day though. 😉

I’m going to Minneapolis today.  I guess I’ll have more of a handle on things when I get back on Monday.

No posts Friday or Monday.  We’ll chat more Tuesday.

Toodles. 🙂

Compact Disc Kiki

I cleaned out my car yesterday. Well attempted to. What a bloody nightmare! My car isn’t really messy to be honest, it’s just overridden with scratched cd after scratched cd. I decided it was time to get rid of the ones I can’t play so they aren’t just rattling around in my car. Unfortunately I’m still attached to a lot of the cds so I can’t really say that my mission was that successful.

Tunes:
Well Being – I Heart U (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
SubmorphicsMake It HappenVibez Recordings 2006
I can’t believe it has taken me this long to put this track in my oldies section. This is seriously one of my most favourite tracks ever. I know that I love to exaggerate but I’m pretty serious when I say this. I coveted this tune for a year before it actually got released. No matter what I always get excited to hear it. I think it’s really pretty and still makes me want to dance when it comes on and I still have constant repeat sessions with it. I think it’s just a very “me” tune and that’s probably why I love it so much.

That’s one of my fave Common songs, Dooinit.   I’m feeling way way better. Just doing what I have to do. I had a pretty nice weekend hanging out with Jeremy, Levi and Heath. Holla.

Nothing like some noisy oldie bizness to start off the week. 😉

Talk about big show. Marcus Intalex and Doc Scott stopped by Dj Presha’s Samurai Music HQ. Looking forward to listening to this one for sure. There’s no tracklist but it’s 3 hours long which is awesome.

Chronic Kiki

It’s Dr. Dre’s bday today. So what you say? LOL. My best friend and his friends used to do this graffiti magazine called Life Sucks Die. They would frequently have random articles, crossword puzzles etc. that discussed the awesomeness that is Dr. Dre. It was pretty funny. Seven years ago they decide they would have a party on his bday. The idea itself is pretty dope. They had The Chronic cut outs that you could put your face in and take pics, they had 40s for everyone to drink  and also did a $20 sack pyramid game show. The party became such a hit that they started doing it every year. Last year Dre actually knew about the party cuz Arabian Prince played the 2008 installment and told him about it. Now Burlesque Design decided to branch out and have Dre Day parties all over. This year they are doing one in Chicago too. I think that if you aren’t familiar with these Minneapolis dudes the idea itself seems pretty nutso but it’s awesome. I don’t mean to be a skeptic but I don’t know if the Chicago one can live up to the caliber that is the Minneapolis legacy. I’m going anyways just for the hell of it. Should be fun. Happy Bday Dr. Dre. 🙂

Friday = Fabulosity

I’m having a pretty great morning so that makes it even more exciting that it’s friday.  It’s stopped being freezing and it’s kinda warm outside, which is also lovely… You know you’re a Midwesterner when you think its warm when it’s still only 30 degrees.

Tunes:
S.P.YSunship (track is in player)
I can’t figure out if I like this tune cuz it’s good or cuz it has that feel of A.I.’s Movin On, which happens to be one of my favourite tunes.  Whatever, I like it regardless.  🙂

Today’s Oldie:
Ed Rush & OpticalBacteriaVirus Recordings 1999
Tune!  I’ve been working out to a lot of classic tunes lately.  This is one that I was so about.  So good.  Dancefloor stormer, wonderful bassline, unique sound.  Loves it.  Early Virus stuff is killer.
