Perpetual projects and daily obsessions.
… I might have something against the spiral of Introvert Quizzes going around the last couple weeks.
In recent weeks, introverts have been receiving a lot of attention on the internet, which they hate. Just kidding–they love attention! Talking about, reading about, and Facebook-sharing about introverts are an introvert’s favorite things to do.
… because that's just too weird, I guess.

I just got home from going to see "The Worlds End". I won't give out any spoilers. I'll just say that if you appreciate or even love "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" the way that I love them then you'll very thoroughly enjoy "The Worlds End". It's on par if not better than it's predecessors. If you don't know what any of these movies are you live a meaningless life and need to correct your situation immediately by watching all of these.

I kind of like it, at least what I've done as part of the MFA.
Since the first workshop, I've been thinking about how to start something like that locally.
But THEN I remembered I have a baby coming in like… 14 minutes. Hanging out somewhere for a couple hours every week, sipping latte and discussing character motivation… that's not going to happen for me in 2013. Or '14.
Anyway.
What about online? Specifically, a small writer's group for workshopping stuff via Google docs and Google Hangouts? I already do gaming stuff there, so I know it's viable with a decent mic/headset. I'm thinking 6 or fewer people, 1 submission a week (<20 pages, shared on Google docs, with comments open to those that have access), with an online one-hour Hangout every week to talk about the submission 'live' (with some basic behavior guidelines).
Thoughts? Interest? Puppy-like excitement?
