Blogs mostly about my life
I love to write, especially screenplays, so as you can guess, I have tons of stuff I’d like to write. Some things are special: either held close to the vest by their owners, or simply not easily gotten even if you have a name and rep. Like many screenwriters, I’d love to take a crack at them.

For good or for ill, I’ve moved TIB over to Wordpress 3.0. What does this mean? For you guys, it pretty much just means that instead of typing “http://cjcs.com/tib” you’ll be typing “https://tib.cjcs.com”. Hopefully that will be the only significant inconvenience you’ll have.

I’ve been missing tuna salad. It’s almost a staple dish in my house since I was a kid, long before my vegetarianism entered the picture. Every summer, I’ve looked on as family members have indulged. No more. I was going to make a veggie tuna salad.

I was recently in a store, my items were being checked out and I was putting the already-bagged purchases into my cart. From the store loudspeaker/intercom I hear, “Whllrreerah weegtoe hruna…” and so forth. At least, that’s what it sounded like to me. I had no idea what was going on. The cashier, however, seemed anxious and was hurrying with checking me out. Other customers were quickly and calmly heading to the exits.

I hope that WordPress will provide some automation to migrate users from WordPress 2.9.x to WordPress 3.0. Since I don’t want to be caught with my proverbial pants down, I’ve been hacking together a little migration program.

I sit here contemplating how this website, T I B, is going to change in the coming months. As with all things, change is inevitable. Some choose to look on change with dread. Some choose to look on it as an opportunity.

As a result of my Connor Wars project, I often get asked, “Why?” What do I expect to get out of writing more than a season’s worth of scripts for a show that doesn’t exist anymore?

So much happens in the world. Everyday. There’s a person ready to either stand up for a cause or stamp it out for just about every event that happens. Some big, some small. Some should be no-brainers, some should be ignored at all costs. This post is about none of that. Just a couple of things on my mind at the moment.

FEAR!!! Ha! Scared you…not. And even if I did, I didn’t give you fear. Fear isn’t a now-experience, it’s a may-be experience. Without anticipation, there is no fear. Without that anticipation being of an undesirable outcome, there is no fear. Hitchcock understood that.
