My more recent class came the closest to causing an ulcer.
Lack of sleep, no appetite, and working, rather than working out, has taken its
toll. (Sounds like a dog that should be checked for worms, right?) But General
Hospital from Hades passed me with a B+. Not as great as I would normally
expect, but with the class’s division into two months the students will learn
even more than we were able. Stinks for us, but yeah for them. The information
from that class was irreplaceable. Thank goodness the General left his “door
open” for more inquiries. Although I cannot see how that is possible with so
much on his plate. Regardless, kudos to General Hospital. I hope to hell I have no more graded classes with The General.
Vermill!on Beach
has been sitting on the back burner for too long. My intention was to finish it
before the middle of June but, along with my weight loss, has been neglected. I
also applied for several internships, one in Hollywood, California for creating
commercials. I had to include my school transcripts in that one, indicating
they mean business. I figured with my 3.7 average, my portfolio, etc. I’d be a
shoo-in. As my parents so keenly pointed out, “that’s what I get for thinking.”
Someone who lived nearby, perhaps with a higher GPA and more life ahead of him
got the drop. But as my Facebook friend, Jheri pointed out (hope she doesn’t
mind me using her first name), “everything happens for a reason.” Suppose I
have to just trust her on this one, right? Besides, when Donald Trump searches
for an intern, if I wasn’t available, what would he do? It simply wouldn't do to have him settle for someone who'd give him less coverage.

The class I’m in now has the class writing comic scripts.
Not for shows, that was the last class – if someone had chosen to create a
half-hour sitcom. (I was stupid enough not to be funny, therefore giving me a
thumbs-up for a one-hour drama. As if that weren’t enough, because of having no
television for four years, I had no idea I was choosing the longest freaking
show!) This class has us creating comic scripts as in comic book scenarios. I’m
not sure if we’ll be using the Toon Boom Storyboard Pro we were given or not.
We haven’t used it yet, however I doubt it. Today I will go to the library and
find three titles to books (I think the length is 64 pages, or something like
that) to run past him. It’s important to be first, so I can get the titles I
want, as it’s first come, first take it out from under everyone’s nose. He’s
enticing the killer instinct necessary to survive, as if General Hospital
didn’t do that.
Meanwhile, I was blindsided by a terrific movie idea. I
haven’t got the title yet. I’m still working on Vermill!on Beach, but the synopsis is a woman goes in for a routine
exam, is told she should be on an antidepressant (familiar, I know) and ends up
losing her memory. Her sister, who begrudges her for the stable life she’s had,
steals her identity, her life, etc. by rescuing her from the hospital and
keeping her in a cabin to “help her get better.” In addition to this, she
convinces the frustrated husband who left her sister, that her sister ran away.
She then cuddles up to the man and his daughter. The patient, although at a
clear disadvantage, must first figure out all that’s happened and then try to
patch her memory along with her life. What do you think? Okay, okay, it’s no
cartoon! Better refocus on 2D characters with depth.
