Nano starts in 11 days but who's counting?
I haven't chosen a topic, but it doesn't matter. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
How about a character who continually quotes the Bible, the way Wilie Garvin used to do in Modesty Blaise?

We have a production in rehearsal, called Babes in the Magic Wood - a pantomime for Xmas. There is a witch, who flies, and I am the flyer. I have been working on the equipment we are going to use to fly her. It is a poor substutute for the pro stuff we rented from Flying by Foy in Vegas for Peter Pan.
That was some performance! Our Peter Pan was a tour de force. I wish I could have seen it from the audience.

This afternoon I had nachos and beer with a fabulous babe I have known for about ten years. We date, we flirt, we play tennis, we forget about each other for weeks at a time. There's chemistry, but she can't forget the feelings associated with her divorce - abandonment, betrayal, disillusionment - and I'm the fall guy who represents the male gender, responsible for all the sins men have ever committed, every malfeasance perpetrated against womankind, every shitty thing her ex ever did to her. I think she's adorable. She thinks I'm crazy for wanting her body. We laugh. We hug. We go our separate ways. heh. Women! Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.

TV commercial

Today, I was the star in a TV commercial made by CHBC TV for Talon Financial Group. We filmed it outside on the street. It took about three hours and many, many takes, all for a 15 second spot!. It was very cold and windy.
I earned $200 and they bought me lunch too.
There could be more of these in my future.
