Our house is one of those homes with rounded corners nearly everywhere, so I’ve had to resort to door jambs for scratching my back, which has been a blessing in disguise, thanks to the multiple sharp corners. Helluva scratch, let me tell ya!

Lamorne Morris voicing Garfield in the new animated series is Ferguson-Approved!

I didn’t catch the name of the company. Some corporate workflow organization tool.

Finished an outline for my first real attempt at a pilot after focusing on features for years. Suuuper stoked on how it’s all coming together. Going to dig into pages tonight.

This feeling never gets old. It's my lifeline.

We’re having a late, not-so-surprise birthday celebration at our house today, with family and friends. I misread the message plastered on our wall as β€œCheers to 40 Beers,” and I’m just not going to bother rereading that sign and do as it commands.

A downside of both my wife & I being home full time β€” me as the househusband, her as the moneymaker β€” is that she often receives the chaos of the child(ren) as collateral damage. She’s essentially in the trenches with me. There are no reinforcements when we’re both overstimulated to the max πŸ˜‚πŸ€ͺ

A small scene from my feature WIP, The Proving Grounds for #Funpagefriday

Nearly that time of the day for some truth serum, don'tcha think?

For me, it’s two strangers in a beat-up muscle car having the time of their lives, hauling ass down a desert road while a dozen cop cars pursue, weaving in and out of their trail of dust. Balls to the wall. Pedal through the floor. Barely in control.

Hey, #Scriptsky, I wanted to try something here.

When you hear this song, what kind of scene does it conjure up inside your head?

1!

We went through this from June to September last year, so I hear where you're coming from. Congrats on the new home and yes, the creative juices will be churning before you know it!

I’ve thought about writing an overexagerated story about my grade 12 year where I won athlete of the year despite having a debilitating knee injury that effected most of my year (and life).

It makes me sound like I was an athletic specimen, but in reality I just had a very low bar to reach 🀣

That would be nice. I figured they read the first few pages and went β€œNah.” lol.

Now that I’m doing the math, your reader may have expired so it was returned to the pool, which I guess is different than being unclaimed like my scenario.

23.02.2026 18:03 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I had someone claim my script then unclaim it less than 24 hours later. Not as extreme as your situation, but yes I have experienced the β€œunclaim” before.

If you could direct me towards this volcano, that would be greatly appreciated.

Retrace your steps. Walk the same route again. Go find that memory!

I think this is where their extra script β€œemergency” script upload outside of Submittable comes into play. Good to know though! I’ll have to check next time I’m on my laptop.

The Winter Olympics can never change their time of the year because I met my wife during the 2010 Olympics, so that’s always been a memory milestone for me, and I don’t need anymore confusion in my life.

I also just want to clarify that I wholeheartedly believe in aliens and UFO’s and all that jazz and It’ll be dope the first time I actually see one.

I find it fascinating, and I look forward to whenever the fog sets in, what kind of sensory spectacle the airport will serve that day/night. I also think it’s fascinating when a jet flies overhead.

I suppose I skipped my bird-watching era and went right to plane-watching.

This is 40, I guess.

Furthermore, the fog creates otherworldly sounds when a plane is idling, taking off, or landingβ€”just wild, unnatural sounds that make you question everything.

Also, depending on the direction of the take-off, some aircraft appear like they’re ascending/hovering at unnatural angles. It’s a trip.

After living across from a regional airport for these last 5 months, I have seen stuff that makes me understand why some folks think they see UFO’s/supernatural stuff.

This area can get super foggy, and when those intense lights on the tarmac give’r, it can create some crazy light-show phenomena.

This makes me think of this thought-provoking piece.

I’m honestly really angry at America right now β€” hockey and the usual dumbf**ckery that’s going down there etc, etc, but you all need to do me a solid and protect McConaughey at all costs. #FilmSky #ScriptSky
