Back.

The last couple of days have been productive.
I've started writing my revisions to my first screenplay.
It's been delicious and intimidating, if you could describe it that way.
Daunting is another description.
I love it though...
it sits on the desk by my bed and I have thought about continually for a long while. I wake up and take a few pokes at reading it and scribing it.
Mentally I've been great...
completely chilled out and sleep has also been productive and driven.
I am adding a burst of poetry to the film and I think it brings a level of humility to the project.
Tune in... to this construction of what I think is a major part of my life as a writer.
Feel free to drop a line if you follow.
Cheers,
B

It worked out. Now, it's workin' out

The whole missing a couple of days of my much needed innoculation worked.
Only had a few anxiety attacks.
Now I'm rollin'.
I'm now doing some much needed work on my screenplay.
I've neglected it for far too long.
Today I will be revising and over the next couple of days, weeks and months I'll be pecking away at it.
I'll let you know how my progress is going on this blog.
The feeling of getting back to work on something I was so dedicated to a few years ago is kind of freeing.

Feel free to follow.

cheers,
Bran.

My Shot.

Today has been kinda funny in a weird way.
Normally my Friday is about getting my shot. A kind of distemper shot if you will. It's an Anti-Psychotic med that comes in the form of a needle in the butt. It kinda keeps me glued together until I get my next one. Funny, a shot in the butt in order for you to be okay enough to be out in public. Oh well, it works... but today was different. The pharmacy didn't have it on hand. So I guess I have to face stark reality until next week. Feeling a little anxiety ridden right now... I guess it's just the psychosomatic knowledge that I'm without the Rx that I have not yet to miss in over a year... Monday is the day to look forward to that shot in the arse and my parent's are worried and pissed at the pharmacy... I'm not, hey, if the zombie apocalypse happens, the last thing I'd be worried about would be my mental health...err... well maybe that...hmmmmm.
Go Brazil!
I'll keep you posted!

Boiled Eggs

I was stewing over what to have this afternoon before I dove into Chicken Paprikas for my dinner. It's weird that we depend on these little ground fowl for a lot of different things.
That's what made me want a "Soft Boiled Egg".

Recipe for a "Soft Boiled Egg and Toast" -

Tools

A pot that will comfortably fit 2 cups of water.
A teaspoon
A butter knife
A plate (medium or dinner size, depending on how much toast you want)
Toaster
Oven

Ingredients

Eggs (in the shell)
Becel, lard or salted butter (just pick one)
Bread slices

Preparation

For Soft Boiled Egg -

1. On one of the small elements on the top of the stove, set burner to MAX.
2. Place pot on burner with at least 2 cups of water inside.
3. Heat to a rolling boil.
4. Add egg to boiling water (place egg slowly into pot with teaspoon)
5. Boil egg for 4-5 minutes for soft boiled perfection.
6. Turn stove to OFF
7. Scoop egg from water with teaspoon and run under cold tap water until your hand can handle it.
8. Pick up butter knife and give the eggshell a good whack with the edge so as to give the shell a straight crack along the side halfway up.
9. Lightly scoop out the inside of the egg with teaspoon and place on inside on plate.

For Toast-

1. Some have the toaster in a cupboard, some have the toaster on the counter. Get your fucking toaster!
2. Put your bread into the toaster on desire "toast" setting.
3. When toast "pops" use the butter knife to spread butter on the toast, preferably when hot.
4. If toast is burnt, you're a loser, get more bread and start over. This time you may have to pop it yourself.
5 After toast is done with the desired amount of butter on it. You have achieved a nice tasty snack.

The reason for a soft boiled egg is so you can dip you toast in the yolk.
The albumen or "white" of the egg is like the meat. I prefer a lot of pepper and salt with my soft boiled egg and use roughly 2 eggs per meal with 3 slices of toast. Lots of good yolk sopping goes on with this combination.

If you're hungry I find this meal is great for a before dinner fix.
Just to let you know, I found the Chicken Paprikas great, even if it was a victim of the microwave. I found that a half bowl of corn chips and a cola went well with it.

Simple Meals with Bran will continue soon.

Get Caught Up

Such is the low
of the problem addictions
That's if
there's anything at all wrong with addictions
I thought the idea of being addicted to something was that it made you happy and you always want more.
In that "Robert Palmer" kinda way
"Addicted" has that cool ring to it
"Addicted" in the social way has to mean or equate to a problem, a tragedy
of a state of being
Boy
I must be addicted to Loving.

... Elipses ...

Denies me the privilege of calling anything a lost cause.
It implies a lack of ending.
Use the "old stand by",
Disaster or simple tragedy.
It's easier that way

When your face is in the facts
and your face shows the facts
you become the facts
and alibies
that conditioning
family history
and superstition all added up to one story.

That we all should give up, stop fighting and realize
The ride is over
let's line up for another one of the same
Period.

Question.

Why would you put stuff in a place where you needed mothballs?
