I set a new cool record:
Two parents showed up.

Holiday Plans
So I've been thinking about the summer. Yeah, I know. We've got 8 weeks of school left yet, but I'm so ready to think about the 8 weeks I don't have anything to do. ;)
The bad news: Mel wants an edumacation. How dare she want better prospects and job opportunities. If they ever find her application.
So Mel wants to save her pennies... plus Dismalworld put a dent in both our pockets this winter.
And I have my new car payments to consider. (Vroom Vroom Vroom goes the Mini Cooper)
So we're thinking low budget for this year... and something near Mel.
I was thinking of flying/driving out to PA, and staying with Mel a while, and maybe Clare could come out (with or without the significant other). I thought it might be fun to do a Road Trip to someplace like Boston... because I've never been to New England. The farthest I've gone in that direction is New York City. Really now, for a world traveler like me, I'd love to notch some up on my belt.
Plus, Mel might be moving... the same time we were thinking of planning our traditional vaca.
I think for the summer of 2008, that we should plan on something more grand... and I think the Grand Canyon is an excellent suggestion.
Thoughts, anyone?

Some Idea Choices
Okay, so now that NaNo is branching out to June's Scriptfrenzy, (I guess NaScreeWriMo just doesn't have the same ring to it) I've been thinking about what I might do for a new movie. We won't mention that I haven't finished my dragon movie yet... or my half a young adult book... but I want to start fresh.
So any preferences?
1. (Sci-Fi) A movie take on Space May Bee. A girl wakes up on a strange alien space ship to find that she's been frozen and launched into space by a rather crazy brother. I've got in mind a sort of Farscapish feel to it, but no worm holes or alternate Earths. Her Earth has been dead and gone for hundreds of years.
2. (Sci-Fi) Main Character (as of yet no name) is a member of a genetically altered Royal Guard who lives, eats and breathes her job. Unfortunately she's accused of treason. Although she's cleared, she's treated like a leper. She's forced to resign and become a starship pilot/mercenary/black market runner. I'm imagining the typical grumpy hard ass/kick ass quiet type who proves she has a heart of gold.
3. Or I could write one of those totally predictable Teacher in the Inner City movies, where the kids give him/her a hard time, but with perserverence they all go to college and live happily ever after. (This is my comment on Coach Carter earlier in the week. I suppose cops get tired of watching cop dramas, but hey, give me a break.)
4. I'll have more choices later... I think... Hey, it's only April.
BTW, speaking of movies, Liz and I saw a free screening of a brilliantly funny movie called Hot Fuzz. It's by the same guys who did Shaun of the Dead. Go see it. Hilarious. Really.
