I'm aching and breaking and shaking like humans do--

About to start transcribing what I've got so far from "The Round Man" from my rantbooks to the computer. I'm trying to write a mystery, so it'll probably end up being a historical farce or something. Feel compelled to work on the screenplay for the next video if possible tonight, at least generate a few basic ideas for a narrative strand. What? What? I don't want to just make a video of randomly strung together images? I don't want to do some meandering picto-diatribe about online chatting or some other asinine bollocks? Ridiculous, I'm sure.

Anyway, the hours count down to Valentine's Day, which always makes me consider either the many V-Days I was a lonely sod or those cardboard mailboxes we used to make in elementary school so we could exchange cards. Did boys give cards to boys? Girls to girls? I can't rightly remember. We were all such fucking subversive polyamorous polymorphously perverse ultra-sluts in elementary school, giving cards to everybody. And cats lay down with dogs, I kid you not!

As far as the video is concerned, if you need any ideas, think of shoes, but don't think of them walking. . .

I'm thinking about shoes being applied to shoe-hands (ie feet). I don't want to stick with the idea of the entire thing being about feet because, well, somebody pointed out to me that it's a bit of a naff concern that's been done. But I definitely want to do a lot of weird expressionistic close-ups on feet, shoes, and toes. Going to key up the Semi-Louise on my media player - after Lenny Cohen stops his rants.
