What's up

Well it's been a strange weekend. I feel like I've been in a cave for most of it but that's most likely due to the gloomy, drizzly weather we had all weekend which made my whole place seem so dark.

Not that I'm complaining. Anyone who knows me knows that gloomy/drizzly/foggy is my preferred type of weather. So to me, the weekend was fabulous weather-wise.

I had two netflix vids to watch: 28 Weeks Later and Disturbia. I liked them both, but frankly I could have done without the bloody vomit in 28 Weeks.

I also think I liked 28 Days Later better though both have their merits. Robert Carlyle being one of the best things about 28 Weeks :) I lurve him. But I felt the movie was pretty much just 'flee the rage zombies in new and interesting ways' rather than exploring much of a plot. But that's ok. I enjoyed the look of the film. It must have been difficult to make an overcrowded little island like the UK look deserted and abandoned.

Disturbia was fun. Not really a sleep-with-the-lights-on flick because it spent too much time building up to the climax (is there such a thing as spending too much time building up to a climax? Hehe. A thought for another blog.) but that time was enjoyable and fun so you don't feel too gipped by it. It's a Dreamworks film and it's PG-13 so I ended up watching it with Shannon. She now wishes to build a twinkie tower and I long for a covert plan I can label "Operation Stupid."

Currently, I'm trying to log in to my FTP server so I can edit ukmelia.com and add a new blog I've started. (God I know. Another feckin' blog.) FTP is making me its bitch though so I'll stick the link here until I can get in. It's called The Storyteller and is another experiment that sort of came to me on my drive to work this morning.

See, I had a nightmare last night. Nothing too scary but scary enough to jolt me awake at 2am. It was creepifying and I can remember most of it still. This is probably because I spent the next hour or so thinking about how good of a story it could be. I creeped myself out more recalling details and stuff but it was worth it. I have a basis for a decent little horror story.

And as i was thinking about it again on the drive this morning I got to thinking about fanfic and how most ficcers post their stories online a chapter or two at a time. I figured I'd try the same thing but with my own fiction, on my own terms, in my own blog. I don't care if no one ever reads it but if they did, I dig on the idea of doing the blog version of a radio serial. The whole 'tune in next week to find out what happens' thing.

It will probably flop, but I don't care about that either. This is for me and if someone happens to want to read along, so much the better :) But anyway, I'll be linking it on the right there and on ukmelia.com. It has an RSS feed as well if anyone wants to stick it in their favourite feedreader.

So wish me luck :)
