i was depressed for too much of my life and ended up putting all my stats in depressed guy stuff: posting, magic the gathering, etc. now when i'm not depressed i suck at everything fun. i'd LOVE to play rec soccer now, but i suck completely because i over-leveled Counter-Strike as a teen.

there's nothing funny about the justin timberlake DUI story. don't mean that in a "he has a problem, it's not right to laugh at him" way. mean it as in, it's literally not a funny DUI - no goofy mugshot, no embarrassing video, didn't have a rottweiller in a car or something

found an old logline i sent my reps in 2018 - "EASY WAY OUT - half hour - story of a guy who must destroy each of his relationships one by one so that he can eventually kill himself guilt free" Can't believe they didn't want me to write that one!

beginning work on a epistolary novelization of Austin Powers. It will all be letters and diary entries of people encountering him and much like Dracula, the most unsettling part will be everyone acting like his behavior and language is only unusual, not alarming.
