withdrawals

I have plans to go "off the grid" next week. I was going to the beach, but I'm kind of waiting to see what Fay does. If I don't go to the beach I might just drive somewhere crazy far away, look at it, and drive back home. Something that takes 4 days to do and does not involve work is all I'm after.

The plan is no internet and no smokes. We shall see which I cave to first. I'm going to take some empty notebooks and see what goes into them. Lo-tech.

I had this fantastic idea to write a screenplay adaptation of "Enemy Ace" a war comic about a fictional world war one pilot. I had it all planned out. but then i read about "Flyboys". I totally missed it- but its a WWI air war movie. The first one made in 40 years. And it bombed (yuk, yuk) at the box office. So let's just pretend I wrote what's in my head and somebody loved it who had a shit ton of money- would it get made?

Hell no it wouldn't. Fucking Flyboys. Ruining my first good idea in a long time. I want to see it now, the trailer looked awesome to me.

Anyways, Enemy Ace is excellent. DC Comics sells these black and white reprint books- 500 pages of comics for 16 bucks. Worth every penny.

i'll blog and pictoralize when i get back ad nauseum. sayonara.
