CARRIED AWAY » Neil Patrick Harris http://www.carrieisgett.com The Optimistically Cartoonish Blog of a Cartoonishly Optimistic Writer Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:19:54 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 37th Times the Charm! http://www.carrieisgett.com/2008/08/37th-times-the-charm/ http://www.carrieisgett.com/2008/08/37th-times-the-charm/#comments Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:42:10 +0000 Carrie http://www.carrieisgett.com/?p=3 As a child sat firmly in the craze we call the world wide web, I am all too familiar with the world of blogging.  Essentially started by the great Doogie Howser, MD and continued on into Neil Patrick Harris’s more recent works as Barney Stinson,1 blogging is integral in today’s life, well, at least it’s fairly well known.  From that first (and fourth) Livejournal page to the more recent Myspace and Facebook endeavors, I like many of the others that I know have failed to manage and update a many of blogs of my own.  Though, as of late, I have been reading a lot of blogs 2 — and I LIKE them.  Yes, I do, I do, I do-ooo.  

John August is my newest Blogger-find and you may (or may not) know him as the writer of films such as Go, The Corpse Bride and my personal faves, the Charlie’s Angel’s remakes. 3  He offers many insights about screenwriting and life in the face paced L.A. industry, claiming to do it to be the mentor that he wished he had way back when, or something to that effect, but of course, better articulated.  He also made a comment about how he believes that if everyone took time (as in minutes at at time here) to impart just the little bit of wisdom that they had, the world would be a very different place.  One would think in the instant gratification world of internet that we live in now, that that wouldn’t be too hard to do.  So, that’s what I’m doing.  I think.

Okay, so I haven’t really worked out what the wisdom I’m going to impart is going to be, YET, but it will come, and I assure you, you will thank me for it.  Until then, however, you will have to suffer through me ranting about my Wii Fit progress.  And possibly, if you’re lucky, you’ll get to hear about the screenplays that I am putting off.  Now that’s progress.  

Current Wii Fit Progress:

Weight: 62.2 kg    BMI: 23.13   –

Wait, I sort of just jumped into that one.  I should start from the beginning.  As a belated birthday gift I received a Wii Fit, which I promptly used three times before forgetting for 2-3 weeks.  But! I have decided to give it another go, and by reasonable goal setting, I am going to lose those extra kilos, just for the heck of it. 4  Anyway, I started out at the beginning of this week at about 61.5, where i steadily went down to about 60 (22.5 BMI or something) until two days ago I jumped up .4 kg and then .8 since yesterday.  So, with a still determined grin, I present my Wii Fit stats.

Weight: 62.2 kg     BMI: 23.13   Mood: disappointed.

 

And a quick screenwriting update: Er, one time this week, I opened the screenwriting software and corrected three whole typing errors.

Also I would like to give a quick thank you to John Watson 5 for the footnote plugin.  Without you there would be no hope of my incoherent long-winded sentances making any sense. So, this post I dedicate to you my fellow blogger. 

 

Seacrest Out.

  3. Oh, yeah, I just said that ↩
  4. I use the phrase “kilos” uncomfortably as I am an American in a foreign land.  I also now say “petrol” ↩
