6.75 Hours

Approximately how much screen staring time I have today in the office. Not a funny office. My back hurts from something I did, probably movement related. I’m just a big ol’ pile of delight today. Had a bag of skittles, lets rock this bitch.

10 minutes ago I started writing my zombie/busan epic that will no doubt take the world by storm. But then I had to stop because I couldn’t figure out how to change the Word format (in Korean) so I wasn’t writing over what I’d previously written… if that doesn’t make sense then I’ll simplify. I’m comptarded. Give me the world’s fanciest Mac and I’ll spend 20 minutes trying to figure out where the other cursor button is, then chuck it out the window. Just not my thing.

I have most of the epic flesh out in my head aside from story arc, protagonist and all the words. Really going to be relying on the wicked bus flip scenario, but I can probably stretch that into at least 3 pages. An acquaintance of mine once told me the hardest part about writing is coming up with believable names. Might be true. I’ve got a back log of awful names though; Chad, Edmond… Buckley for fuck’s sake!

Truth be told, I think the zombie genre is severely anemic. Take religion, for example. Start out with a couple classic oldies, time warp forward a century or ten and you can become a level 7 nancy (good name!) alien wasting, Tomcat fisting, asteroid galloper for a measly $190,000. That makes zero sense. Apologies, skittles really amp me up. The belated point is I don’t see the justification behind all this bush league Romero’s ‘classics’ worship. For better or worse, you have to evolve. Take the Simpsons, I used to love that shit, but now it gives me seizures because it’s not tailored to my generation anymore. I guess you could argue that Zombieland was a move in the direction or a crack in the mold, but not really. If you’re going to make a zombieflick with Woody H. just redo Natural Born Killers and revamp it as Mickey/Mallory are, well, themselves… but with zombies! Actually that sounds like crap, but admit it, Rodney Dangerfield (RIP) would have made Christ himself uncomfortable as a zombie.

Have to pick this up again tomorrow…
