Hi friends! School has once again commenced and I am back in action!
Today's progress is minimal, but still very important. It's the little things that count, you guys!
As I was reading over my script that I wrote yesterday, I noticed there was an element missing from my piece: the ring tone. You see, when the scene first begins, you hear Jeff's phone go off as he sleeps, revealing a ridiculous ring tone. So, I began the hunt!
Many cat-meowing related ring tone searches later, I found ze one! A ludicrous album entitled: Metalikids—Heavy Metal Nursery Rhyme Ring tones. I know, right?? Who would've thought that the key to my success would come from a bunch of adults making heavy metal versions of children's nursery rhymes? Go figure!
Anyway, I remembered that I have to get permission from the artist in order to use it in my film, so I did some research and sent that production company—HaHaas Comedy—a quick little email. I'm hoping to hear back soon with a positive response so I know I can include this little ditty version of Ring Around the Rosie in my film.
What a hilarious idea! If that song wasn't already depressing at it's core, go ahead, make a heavy metal version of it! For the kids! I'm sure my already-screaming two year old kid will love it (this is just a joke, I don't actually have a kid. Thank heavy metal for that).
So, here we are again at crossroad between progress and a standstill. Here are some things I still have left to do:
-Get an approved location for filming
-Print out my script and give it to my lead actor (who also happens to be my best friend)
-Set up a schedule for filming
-FILM!
-Edit
-Sleep for 3 days
Oh yeah, that last one is just to kind of catch up on what I've missed trying to keep this barely-glued together puzzle standing. Don't worry, I assure you when this is done you'll be so proud of me you could almost cry!!
Time to get back to work, then. And by work, I mean eating my hot cheetos alone as I type away on my laptop. Ah, progress. You are such a faithful friend.
Here's to the days of upcoming success! I'm gonna be a star!
With much hope and high anticipation (and sodium levels...thanks, Hot Cheetos!),

First of all, I absolutely love how your personality shines through your blog; not only does the layout of the blog itself feel personal featuring a portrait of you, but the way you speak makes you stand out from some other blogs that I have looked at. I think you've really got your writing style down and that your witty writing perfectly shows your intellect and your sense of humor. The only critic that I have is providing more research about films that you will be drawing inspiration from and specific stylistic elements you might include, but besides that I think your blog is perfect!
