03.31.06peace corpsDeepa and Aruna Originally uploaded by georges. I spent most of work on Thursday at the Peace Corps website. I even filled out about half of the application. Then I got to thinking. While joining the Peace Corps is something I've wanted to do for a while, I realized the real reason I was interested in doing it now was to delay moving to LA.

Well, I guess it isn't just laying around the network. I had to look for it a bit.... Searching around the network.... Finally found it on the applications server.... Yeah, I chickened out and didn't download it. Stupid obeying licensing agreements.

03.14.06i could write that in my sleep...you guys go on... Originally uploaded by aphasiafilms. Literally. I mentally explore a story for several days or even a couple of weeks before I ever sit down to write anything. I am in that phase with a script right now (the fact that I haven't found my sister's Word CD yet, has also delayed my writing anything down). Anyway. Last night I was mentally working on the script...while I was asleep. Really. It wasn't just me dreaming the plot, it was: "What if this happened? No, that wouldn't really work because.... Well, what ...
