The Weekend Where Everyone is Gone

Took a break from writing this week. I guess it's true that you really need a chance to recharge once in a while. I'm continuing to work on several creative projects and maintain the day job and spend time with my boy. Yes, it's more difficult than I could imagine and yes, occasionally I burn out.

Caught "Iron Man" yesterday; it was an excuse to sit in an air-conditioned space for 2 hours and the movie itself wasn't too terrible. Like other movie fads that have occurred over the years, the Superhero Movie Fad of this decade will burn out and we'll do a 'Top Ten Superhero Movies That Suck' list on Radar or Blender 5 years from now.

Walking around Sunol yesterday, the Niles Canyon Railway is running and I highly recommend it if you live near the Bay Area. Niles Canyon is home to a lot of obscure, strange history. Old railway trestles and tree-covered hills hide a lot. I'd love to shoot a film here and just kind of explore the general weirdness that living away from prying eyes can bring out.
